re: What are the odds on Angel Reese coming back next year?

I hope I’m wrong but I think 80 she goes & 20 she comes back.

My gut feeling is the exact opposite.
80% she returns
20% she goes pro

WNBA top 4 picks (year 1,2,3,4)
average salary 75K - 95K annually through the 4 years
LSU NIL with Angel is around 3M - 4M
That's a hell of a paycut


Just a my opinion:
Saban would use the media as another avenue to indirectly communicate to his players. Likely, CKM is doing the same thing - especially mentioning it 3 times in one press conference.


1. Maybe Angel is not 100% sure on what she is going to do.
2. Positively,if Kim knew 100%, it would help her with planning, prioritizing needs and wants regarding recruiting.
3.. IF, she is going to the WNBA, CKM (via pressers and one-on-one convos) wants to only remind her that, "hey, you only have a handful of games left in your college career - lets get the most out of those games. These remaining games are going to be the most memorable and best times of your life!"

ETA: Another important and HUGE factor
that comes into play causing the uncertainty of returning is the likelihood of which team has an early enough draft pick to select Reese. I think, right now, that team is Washington (1st round 6th pick overall). That's only 45 min from Angels hometown, Baltimore, Maryland.
