Financially, Reese has said that she isn't letting money play a role in her decision to go to the WNBA.
"The deals are going to follow me if I leave or stay," said Angel Reese.
"I've built that relationship with a lot of these brands. I don't just have brands that are in college, I have brands that are long-term deals that are just past college and I think that's the difference," she added.
Reese ranks No.8 amongst all college athletes with a valuation of $1.8 million, according to the latest NIL evaluations from On3.com.

It's no doubt that Angel Reese could likely get taken within the top five if she opts to enter the WNBA Draft. Her game would definitely translate well going into the WNBA, with her ability to play at a high level on both sides of the floor.
Reese is an elite rebounder in averaging 15.0 per game along with being a great low post scorer. She has shown the ability to guard the paint as well as the perimeter; going up against some of the best in the league.
Reese has also shown her ability to knock down 3pt shots, but not as consistently compared to most players in the WNBA. Angel Reese really needs to improve as a shooter if she wants to thrive at the next level.
