Angel Reese declares for WNBA draft

[Mook]

Not true
NIL is literally an endorsement deal

Yes and if I’m a company I will endorse you all day in women’s college but once you hit the wnba and I see those ratings, I’m pulling the endorsement.

 

[pete clemenza]

She probably wanna start her career. Those endorsements and that money isnt gonna just come to a halt cause she is out of college

I guess Angel/Caitlyn will be the first big NIL deals to test if they will continue professionally for the WNBA? Wont see the effects until like year 2/3 though.

Sounds like you think Nil means she gets a salary from LSU. Nope. NIL = Name, Image, Likeness. These are endorsement deals previously denied college players.

Are you under the assumption that schools aren’t paying kids? Of course she’s not getting paid a real salary but schools are definitely paying top athletes on top of what they make with the endorsements

 

[Chrishaune]

Those girls are about to go at her in the League.

 

[RoCKetSity256]

It's crazy how people still don't understand the basic foundation of NIL

You also must be under the assumption that these schools aren’t paying top athletes. It’s been going on for years but now all of the sudden since NIL hit you think it stops? Kids get endorsements deals yes they are also getting paid under the table to stay at these schools and not hit the portal every year

 

[Chrishaune]

That is trash.

These girls better take that Ice Cube money.

 

[Youngdev]

That is trash.

These girls better take that Ice Cube money.

He only offered that to one girl

Let’s be real she isn’t going to “develop” shyt in college and being a 5th year senior is overkill. Shawty did 4 years at two different schools, won a natty, became a star time to move on.

Her game is super trash to me though no footwork, no range, no touch, WNBA don’t waste time on these young players if she doesn’t figure it out she’ll be out the league. She’s too cocky for her skill limitation she’s lucky to be 6’3.

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

no announcement yet from HVL?

Praying she comes back

 

[SchoolboyC]

I mean womens college bball has always been more popular , even growing up I remember those pat summit tennessee teams, chamique holdsclaw on slam (before even being in the wnba), sheryl swoopes

A lot of people forget that in the early days of the NBA, it was less popular than men’s college basketball.

That was also part of the reason they had territorial picks, because they hoped that if players got drafted to the team closest to their college that they would draw in those fans

The NBA didn’t really pass up college until the 80s and even to this day March Madness still outdraws the NBA Playoffs most years

She likely has contracts and multiyear endorsements breh

Praying she comes back

At this point, I think she has to.
She had 48 hours to declare, and nothing came out.

I mean come back to LSU she could enter the portal I can see that happening too

 

[Chrishaune]

He can come up by paying a few more girls and they take the deal.
