How do we get HVL and Reese to stay for next year?

I actually think they’ll both stay.

Try and improve draft stock and get paid more than they would hypothetically in the wnba. Not sure what the status of their degree progress is though. Might as well knock that out too.

If I were in their seat I would meet with my financial advisor and talk about which is more profitable in the long run. I’d say for both, that is staying in college. Angel probably making over half a mil a year in NIL. Those ads will probably stop flowing when she is a middle of the pack WNBA player

Just sweeten the NIL package pure and simple. Grad school is calling.

Morris was better than HVL and got cut before opening day.
Same thing would happen to HVL.
But to be honest, she’s not the answer at PG LSU needs.

I don't understand why any women's player would opt for the draft. They can probably make more with NIL at LSU and will fade into obscurity in the WNBA

If they make a team, they get 70k. At LSU, they get around 30k per year tax free for room and board plus total cost of attendance then probably 250k in direct LSU NIL. Angel is getting national NIL money, but that dries up when she is just an average WNBA player.

They need to find another 1 and let her play the 2. I think she could be good there.

Yeah, Hailey Van Lith has been coming on lately. Had the two games in a row where she was high scorer for LSU...26 and 18 pts I think. Yesterday, 40% from 3 point land, 50% of her other shots, 6 rebounds, and amazingly 2 blocked shots. LSU only had 3. And she shoots 81% at the FT line for the season.

Still had 3 turnovers but I didn't get the game and for turnovers you have to see the game. Sometimes it isn't the person credited with the turnover at fault...but most of the time is. Anyway, Morrow and Van Lith hit a dry spell a while back. Morrow did shoot only 33% yesterday. But those two highly touted transfers (#1 and #2 supposedly) IMO are the keys to LSU's tourney future. Reese and Johnson are going to get theirs and M Williams is going to be inconsistent due to being a TR FR.

My guess is they’re coming back. Not saying I like this but here’s my thought. In todays college sports why wouldn’t they act like they were leaving. They’re probably looking for more NIL money.

Perhaps mistaken but HVL will graduate with her Master Degree this semester, getting her MBA. Can she return to school to work on another degree? But both are not limited to the WNBA, many players are now playing in the European League, and that level of pay is significant, especially in comparison to the WNBA. Play there for a few yrs, improve your game & then try to make a roster. Gaines was making over a million a year in Russia as I recall.
