I don’t know why anybody thought she was coming back

But I get crucified everytime I say she won’t

Be for real with yourselves

She will make way more money in NIL than she will in the WNBA. Why not stay another year and bank some more money?

What was the context? Seems like a weird thing to say at a presser.

She has endorsements with fashion nova, Reebok, beats, etc

She’s gonna get paid regardless whether she’s in college or not

She already has her degree and is ready to move on with life. Very understandable.

You will not be a bench player in the WNBA with endorsements!

It was in the context of how she has been taking over games and that this was the toughest part of the season.

Which will start to dry up when she hangs it up.

I would not be surprised to see her go into sports reporting. She does well in front of the camera and seems to like it.

NIL continues in the WNBA on top of her salary.. maybe not as many eyeballs on her, but she’s not losing any sponsors/social media followers.

I realize she played 2 seasons at Maryland and this is her second season at LSU. So why is she listed at a Jr?

1. ALL current LSU WBB players CAN come back in 24-25 even Hailey Van Lith.

2. I heard CKM speak today also and it was not clear exactly who/what she was referring to when she said that about seniors being motivated as their career wound down. I am sure she was speaking "in general" and not just about Angel.

3. The key for Angel will be whether she is honored at Senior Day or not, IMO. Most of her NIL contracts are for her as a star at LSU even though they are national contracts. She may or MAY NOT continue them after she is a bench player on some WNBA bench.

That senior year sounds all the more direction she should take.

LSU has already said her and HVL will both be honored on Senior Day but added they both have the option to return.

She has more followers than probably anybody in the wnba

In this world now she can make money just off her following and name

No one watches the wnba to even care if she’s on the bench or starting
