NCAA women’s basketball star Angel Reese declared for the 2024 WNBA draft Wednesday, proclaiming she had accomplished everything she can at the collegiate level. Reese, 21, a 6-foot-3 forward at Louisiana State University, told Vogue she didn’t want to be “basic” and drew inspiration from tennis legend Serena Williams, who announced her retirement in the September, 2022, issue of the same magazine. “I’ve done everything I wanted to in college,” Reese said.
” Reese's representatives could not be immediately reached by NBC News on Wednesday for additional comment. Reese’s last college game was Monday, when her LSU Tigers lost to the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Elite Eight of the women’s tournament 94-87. Reese had 17 points and 20 rebounds. Monday's highly-anticipated rematch of last year’s title game, that time won by LSU, drew historic ratings and featured Iowa star guard Caitlin Clark along with Reese. The rematch drew 12.
