Good. Her mouth was a problem all year. Just shut up and play. She thought the championship was going to be handed to her. Move on. Buy into your hype somewhere else.

She'll be back. NCAA WBB gets 10x the eyeballs that the WNBA gets. The earning potential is just greater here at LSU.

Let me give you a hint about life, tyke. She has 2 million “followers” because she is constantly in the spotlight playing basketball. You think a 22 year old has lasting star power when she’s no longer being talked about by people who see her on TV in that LSU uniform? Delusional. That interest will fade just as fast as it came.


Let’s just check back in 2-3 years, shithead.

Lemme guess … you also think Livvy Dunne is just going to “disappear” when she’s no longer an LSU gymnast, huh?

Are you under the impression that she is famous for her gymnastics abilities? I’ve yet to see her perform a single handstand or tumble.

Quite the comparison there, junior.

The big NIL deals HVL and Angel have will follow them into the WNBA. If no WNBA, both have lucrative modeling contracts. There is no monetary reason to stay at LSU.

I've seen this answer thrown around a lot as to why they probably won't stay another year, but I couldn't disagree more. First, chances are neither of then actually make a WNBA roster, even if they do get drafted. Look at Morris and Williams from last year. Their collective WNBA careers lasted about 2 weeks total before both got cut.

And the only reason they have these NIL/endorsement deals is because they are in the national spotlight. If they are no longer in the spotlight, as is likely to happen if they don't make an active WNBA roster, then their spotlight goes away and so does their selling power for these sponsors.

I think within 2 years time from leaving college, they will both fade into obscurity and their big money deals will go away too.

Her NIL goes with her so staying at LSU another year isn't any better of a financial decision. She even said her NIL goes with her when she leaves. She gone

No. Reece will not make as much $$ if she goes to the WNBA. If she can stay at LSU one more year she probably should just from a financial position. It is her position as an LSU player that has made her an "influencer" . I believe that position wanes some if she goes the WNBA route especially if she is not as successful at that level. Can't shoot a mid range jump shot.

More eyes are on the college game right now. The superstars this year going to the draft will dictate if that translates to the WNBA. I expect a boost from people tuning into to see CC, but will it sustain?

Reese has way more to lose if she goes to the draft this year. Her name alone isn’t gonna give her a spot on a roster and she has a lot to work on. Without the media tour/attention like last summer, she can really focus on improving her game and enter into a less loaded draft next year.

Jada Richard MIGHT end up starting before she graduates, but you can be certain that next season her arse is going to be glued to the bench just like Velez’s.

CKM seems to have missed a lot on her recruiting classes from last-year-at-Baylor to LSU. Hannah Gusters to Amani Bartlett to Janae Kent and Anjelica Velez. Just no impact freshmen. Mikaylah Williams is the big exception but still, a lot of misses.

And in exit meetings in the next few days, CKM will no doubt tell Bartlett: “your arse has stayed glued to the bench here for three seasons. No need for a fourth. Kindly find yourself somewhere else to play because I need your roster spot for someone who can contribute at least a little.”


You are an a-hole. There is no reason to talk about these young players like this. They all have time to develop into productive players . Quit being so fricking critical when you have no idea what Mulkey intends to do with roster management.

Catilyn Clark is projected to be No. 1 pick.

Angel is projected at 7 pick.
She may want to wait another year. Angel's ego (it's a good thing) won't want to be picked 7th

Pretty sure Bartlett was a Nikki Fargas recruit that had already signed on with LSU when Mulkey took over... Gusters issues are between her ears - she is now looking for her 4th school in as many years.

Bartlett wasn’t a Nikki recruit, she signed with Syracuse in HS, the coach at SU got dismissed. Kim signed her LINK /

I love to see rhis argument. Unless you have seen the contracts, you don't know. It is entirely possible that the NIL deals have a clause allowing the business to option gear to year. So you think Gordon is going to pay for an endorsement deal with a player who might not make the roster of the team drafting them, which could be in any city, but not in Louisiana....
