Kim Mulkey discusses the booming popularity of Angel Reese
Since transferring from Maryland to LSU, Angel Reese has become a celebrity. Reese has a $1.7 million NIL valuation and helped lead the LSU women’s basketball team to a national championship last season.
She is currently having another great season as LSU has a 21-4 record and Reese averages 19.5 points per game and 12.6 rebounds per game. She averages a double-double for a Tigers team that is full of talent. Recently, head coach Kim Mulkey was asked about the popularity of Reese as she is getting closer to the end of her college career.
Here is what Mulkey had to say about Reese
“I don’t know about a magazine, I don’t keep up with all that,” Mulkey said, per On3. “I can’t imagine that what she experienced with all that last year is any greater this year than it was last year. And I thought she handled it beautifully.
“Her career is winding down in college and so you start counting probably in her mind how many more games I have in my college career. And every game is maybe magnified more. I don’t know. I’m just answering based upon my experience and what a lot of seniors say, is that it’s a sense of urgency for me now.”
The Tigers take on Texas A&M next Monday at 6 p.m.
