Breaking: Angel Reese Has Announced Her WNBA Decision

by Staff Reporter

April 3, 202431 Comments

David Yeazell-USA TODAY Sports

LSU Women's Basketball star Angel Reese announced Wednesday that she has declared for the 2024 WNBA Draft.

Reese made her decision public via Vogue Magazine.

quote:
“Of course, I like to do everything big,” LSU basketball star Angel Reese tells me. It’s mid-March, a week before the start of the NCAA tournament, and the 21-year-old has just shared her plans to enter the WNBA draft with Vogue. She could have dialed up a sports outlet or simply mentioned her decision in a press conference, but “I didn’t want anything to be basic,” she says, speaking via Zoom from her off-campus apartment in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Reese says she was inspired by Serena Williams to break the news with a fashion shoot. (The tennis legend, of course, announced her retirement in the September issue of Vogue in 2022.) “I’ve done everything I wanted to in college,” Reese says: “I’ve won a national championship, I’ve gotten [Southeastern Conference] Player of the Year, I’ve been an All-American. My ultimate goal is to be a pro—and to be one of the greatest basketball players to play, ever. I feel like I'm ready.”

If her ultimate goal is to go pro, then I agree that another year in college will be a waste. Also, she is starting to roll her ankles periodically. I have enjoyed watching her play….thanks for being a Tiger!

Good luck to her. She's been huge for this program.

thetruthisnotkind•9 months

Its been fun. The problem for Angel is that only a very small fraction of LSU fans will follow her in the WNBA.

Thank you Angel for coming to LSU and helping to resurrect the ladies basketball program to national prominence and a national championship. Your leadership, contributions on/off the court, style, attitude and toughness will not be forgotten by the LSU fan base. May God bless you as you move forward to the WNBA with great success! Always a Tiger!

Hope she has a good bank roll as she will lose money in the WNBA. Good luck and hope all goes well.

lsualum96•9 months

No, she will not "lose money". Stop with the false narrative.

ljhog•9 months

True she won't lose money. But, she can make more at LSU than the WNBA. Of course she can go to Europe too.

grich31•9 months

Not really her WNBA salary with her endorsement deals she is still signed to, she will be just fine financially
