Fans Are INCREDIBLY SADDENED By The Latest News On Angel Reese And LSU

Angel Reese has become a household name since helping lead the LSU women’s basketball team to the national championship. It got even bigger as she openly taunted Caitlin Clark of Iowa on the court in the midst of them winning the championship. Not to mention, she gained even more fans because she did not apologize for it.

Her level of popularity has become too much for her to be on campus.

She told Leah Faye Cooper of Teen Vogue that she’s been taking online classes following her championship run.

“I don’t feel like I’m a celebrity, but I think a lot of people look at me as a celebrity now because of the impact I’ve had on not just women’s basketball, but sports in general, and Black women,” Reese said. “Things have changed for me.”

Reese was dominant during March Madness as she posted a double-double in all six of LSU’s wins. She stuffed the stat sheet in the national championship game victory over Iowa with 15 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, three steals, and one block.

Since that performance, she has been featured in magazines, commercials, visited the White House, appeared at awards shows, thrown out the first pitch at a Baltimore Orioles game and much more.

She told Cooper, “School’s first, basketball is next. I wouldn’t be here without school and basketball, so that’s my priority.”

Reese attended the 2023 ESPYs in Los Angeles, where she won the award for Best Breakthrough Athlete. She beat out Iowa point guard Caitlin Clark for the honor, just three months after she led the Lady Tigers to their first NCAA championship in program history with a win over Clark’s Hawkeyes in April.

Reese is one of the NCAA’s top NIL earners.

Tigers fans cannot wait to cheer for a team that is once again on the short list of national championship contenders thanks in large part to Reese’s presence going into a new campaign.
