She had 700k followers before that even happened

in addition to her NIL money


Did someone tell her that income will all but stop? Her popularity is about to plummet.

Then explain it to the class. How going from the face of college basketball to a mediocre pro is a better financial move than capitalizing on the most fame she will ever have for one more year.
Think if Tim Tebow could have stayed in college raking on nil deals instead of going pro. Now realize that the wnba doesn’t pay nearly as much as the nfl.

As long as she has the attention of young girls who look up to her and want to be like her, she will be able to capitalize. It doesn’t matter if she is at LSU, the WNBA, playing in Europe, or teaching high school algebra. Her value right now is the following she has created. Even if she didn’t have the traditional endorsement deals like we are use to, she could still get affiliate commissions from products she uses and make a killing having her followers buy from a link. Use discount code Bayou Barbie for some free shipping shite.

Yall need to catch up with the times and how things are working these days.

Reese began the tournament with 447,000 followers, and she started the Final Four with 558,000 followers. Then her profile skyrocketed, as she gained more than 650,000 followers during March Madness.

12 million people watched her Monday night. Has the combined total of WNBA viewers for the entire year reached that number? WNBA is a wasteland.

Correct, she will take most of her NIL's with her, they are national brands, they are independent from LSU. Shaq has said he has big plans for her at Reebok when she leaves LSU. You can bet they have talked this week. She will be making decisions for the women's side of Reebok. Angel said she plans to create her own Reebok shoes and clothing line. That is one that will follow her after LSU.

She will also be pursuing a modeling career. Add the $$$ she earns from the millions of social media followers. She will be capitalizing on her popularity and success for the next couple years.

You realize the hang signal was the championship game, right?

Your post is literally proving me right

What was I, 100k followers off?

Even if she had 300k at the time, saying nobody know who she was is just not the truth

Everybody knows juju Watkins and she has maybe 400k followers

Wish her the best. From what little I know about the WNBA are we sure she’ll even have a roster to be on for years? I feel like LSU is a safer bet to get a guaranteed payday when the WNBA cuts girls on the reg.

This isn’t true at all. She went viral at the beginning of the season with blocking a ball with one shoe on.

Probably because she could make just as much in college and NIL as WNBA. Top salary in WNBA is just under $250,000.


NIL money is basically endorsement money. So now she can have both. Why is that so hard to understand?

Don’t speak facts man

Like I’ve been saying, half the posters here didn’t even follow the team until the tournament themselves

She’s clearly one of the all time LSU WBB players and I thank her for her service to LSU

good luck to her

We will miss Angel but with Morrow-Smith-Del Rosario-transfer, we will have a deep and workmanlike front court.

You add DeeDee Hagemann as point guard and the 2024-25 Tigers are definitely a Final Four-NC team.
