re: Convo: Will Angel and Hailey come back next year? Neither projected in top 10 draft pick.

………wait ……..we are comparing Angel Reese to effing Shaquille O’Neal now? Angel will not have 1/100th of Shaq’s endorsements money coming in once she leaves LsU. And I love Angel and what she did for the Brand last year. But Shaq? He is possibly the most endorsed athlete out there right now.

Goddamn, some people’s lack of reading comprehension is astounding. Return to my post. Read slowly and carefully. Did I say anywhere in there that her endorsement money was equal to Shaq’s? I said that her endorsement money—which is certainly not peanuts—will most likely follow her post-LSU and will not depend on her playing in the WNBA just as Shaq is still a powerful endorsement machine while retired.

No, she doesn’t make near what Shaq makes in endorsements but around a million or so a year is nothing to sneeze at, is it? And that money would follow her and likely multiply in her post-LSU career as a model, social media influencer, etc. Whether she plays in the WNBA is irrelevant.

All of which is why I doubt she returns to LSU in 2024-25.
