Just found your channel and yes I subbed. First off I love your personality and as a black woman myself, it's nice to just see a regular black woman who's not pandering to a certain audience. We know who that audience is. You just give the facts and some opinions and present everything in a really chill manner. I LOVE IT. I also like that you're objective. You don't harp on your personal opinions or the popular narrative. You explore all sides. Now to the question of Angel Reese. I think she's young. I'm 34, college grad, former athlete, been there done that. I think she got money, notoriety and fame all at once really quickly. That would be a lot for any college kid. I absolutely LOVE Kim Mulkey even when she was at Baylor. She is not gonna mince words and she doesn't allow the media to sway her. I think Angel didn't make the trip because coach said stay home. Probably something in the background stemming from her getting benched or the Twitter beef. But I'm sure they had a conversation and coach probably said sit this one out and get yourself together. Just my 2 cents
Welcome to the channel!!! Thanks so much for your kind words. Re: Angel, I didn’t consider the idea that Kim might have had a convo with Angel and asked her not to join the team.
Overall just wishing everyone the best in this situation
People need to let Coach Mulkey do her thing. She knows how to handle whatever is going on with Angel. She kicked Alexis Morris off the team at Baylor and that made her reevaluate what she really wanted to do and came back a stronger person and player. Give Angel a break, she's a 21 year old and will make mistakes. The only problem would be if she refuses to LEARN from her mistakes.
NO MORE CHANCES! Let her go!!!
The mothers getting involved is clearly beyond acceptable… That said, Angel doesn’t need to keep causing problems. Tired of her…
When she's ready, Angel may tell us what's going on in her life. We need to give her a chance to clear the air and stop the speculation. Its only hurting the team. The parents do need to step up and resolve their issues face to face and stop fueling the social hysteria. This makes WBB look bad.
Everything got to Angel’s head. She needs to humble herself and get with the program. All this game is getting to her grand and I don’t even know why that bitch is so famous for
Oh it's just begun...I said this when they picked up 2 more Chiefs in transfer portal.....
What is going on??? Weed, crack, donuts, and booze.
Former High Major D1 Athlete and Dean’s list student here. GPA isn’t the reason, if it was the case she couldn’t have played any games so far. Disciplinary issues are probably the reason why the team suspended her. It’s that simple. But my biggest point is the one you’ve made at the end, she and the other NCAAW players, are just CHILDREN. And people are insulting this kid, it’s wild. I hope LSU will resolve that. It could be a blessing in disguise for them and help them become a dangerous team.
Kid??? This kid wanted the exposure. This kid has made over a million because of this kid's fame. These so-called children are now running businesses not just playing a sport anymore. If you want it do it but don't cry if things get tough. I am not saying she is crying and none of us know what is going on. If you don't think the college game has changed then you are wrong. The old days of kids and playing for your school have changed it's now a business and this is what it is now. I love Angel Reese and know she will be fine.
Angel is 21 that’s not a kid. Please be for real
@@lbean87 if you older that 35 you'll know how much of a "kid" that really is.
@@youphilmemani think the point is shes still very young business or no business and like most people in life we grow all the time. Even in your old age.
@@lbean87 they make excuses for everyone. It's pathetic, sad and exactly why our society is what it is. I have a kid, a little girl, she's 22 and only little if you are a giant and only a kid if you are old.
I doubt it has anything to do with academics. If I'm not mistaken, LSU school year is based on semesters which means the midterm is in mid October. If there were any issues academically, the suspension would have happened prior 2 the season starting. How about we stop the negativity and pray the young lady gets pass the issues successfully
Don't know the true narrative, but this is how it looks to me: Angel Reese transfers from Maryland because she needs a coach who will challenger her. Kind of a backhanded insult to a NCAA championship coach, but ok. She gets to LSU, and they play a mid schedule in 2022-23, getting blown out by South Carolina. LSU makes their run in March, and wins the NCAA, and Angel's first act as champions is to disrespect one of the legendary current women's players. Then she spends the summer signing NIL deals and hanging out with celebrities. Now it's fall 2023, and Hollywood Angel has to return to LSU and slum it on campus. Not only does she have to return to the grind of classes, but she now has imported superstars to compete with in HVL and Aneesah Morrow. She is not queen bee anymore. LSU loses to Colorado, and Angel is one of the players getting called out. She doesn't like it. It all has an "I'm better than all this" vibe. Bad play continues against Kent State, and Angel gets benched. LSU wins big without her. Now Kim Mulkey has leverage. They can win without Angel, so Angel gets the "shape up or ship out" message. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
That is a interesting scenario. Something like this would light a fire under Angel. That would give her more motivation to play well.
@@KarlMalowned32 Hopefully so. You always hate to see talented players not live up to their potential.
Ship out!!!! Ask for a better NIL deal....
I'm wit u on that
On point; all these social media “fabulous”, immature, intellectually challenged young people making six and even seven digits kind of money was not going to end well. We all saw this coming, even before last season was over.
Thank you for your thoughtful analysis. Few know the reasons. I hope people let their kindness as people and awareness of their own failings provide a space for LSU to figure out their situation.
The girl has a 'tude problem. You could see it last year, taking all the accolades without mentioning the one that actually won the game for them by hitting all her 3 pointers.
Let me say this, all of the players, staff, and current and former players should keep quiet. If this is in the house, then it should remain there. Now, as far as Alexis Morris, she should be focusing on her pro career instead of instigating and stirring drama amongst the current players on this squad. If a current player is confiding in you with information, why would you take it on IG live and add fuel to the fire. Very shady and classless of her to do that. As far as Angel, Fla'Jae, and coach Mulkey, they need to come get together and hatch this out. Stop letting outsiders paint this narrative as to what they think is going on with the program. Fix it, and let's move on!
If i were Alexis i would focus on my pro career. She already messed up with the comment she made about the Women in the league, it never sat well with them and hence she ended up being attacked by the WNBA (women). She had to apologize and so on. She thinks she’s try to be smart instead she’s just tarnishing her name again. Even if she has chances of coming back and playing in the W here in her country,some teams won’t give her that chance. They will (1) remember what she said about them, (2) they will also remember how tried to bring her former team down. They’ll be scared of her because of her mouth.
I knew this would all happen 6 months ago lmao!! I just didn't think it would happen so early in the season!!
I know that Alexis feels some time of way of which i understand and it’s normal she feels like she never got the credit like Angel and Flaujae. But such is life we all have different destinies n God blesses pipo in different ways. Every team has that one or two people who are the face /s of that program & in this case, LSU has Angel & Flaujae but that doesn’t mean the others are not good players nope. During the season people were talking abt Angel and Flaujae but we so what happened during the final game. God was like it’s time for others to shine as well and they did & after that everyone was talking about Alexis, Jazz and the other guys.
But former players are not "in house" anymore.
@561REALTLK I know that. I said when you have current players on the team who are "confiding" in her (Alexis), then she takes their information and uses it on a public platform to be messy.
Thank you for bringing light to this subject while being respectful. People are making harsh assumptions over something that isn’t very clear yet…
I can assure you that there have been problems behind the scene for quite some time. With all the diverse personalities, how could there not be? The problem is, things finally reached the boiling point. The Colorado loss didn't help the situation. When a man forgets to buy roses on Valentine's Day and his wife asks for a divorce, that's not when the problem began. The problem began when he did the same thing for their anniversary and her birthday, three years in a row.
*If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. (Mark 3:25)* †
Well Said ✌🏽
How can you assure that?!! You clearly never played sports. When Bron Wade and CB came together they lost games they should have won. These girls have always supported one another. HVL is strictly about basketball and winning and Morrow is on that too. They came in at positions that’s not even Angels so tell me what their personalities have to do with anything other than them having to learn to play with talent? You sound ridiculous. Yall USC fans are soo lame. Yall want there to be a problem cause Kim was getting too much talent. LSU will be fine. These girls are professionals and thrive when the hate is all time high.
I like how you put that,,,, thats real shit,,,,, its like when a person say"" I Cant Take This S*** No Mo""
@@salotraxanova5283 Exactly!
*@nawlinshb504.*
You asked, "How can I assure that?" The short answer is, the same way that I can assure you are overly emotional, common sense, my friend. However, common sense is not always common to those who don't have it. They only get frustrated at those who do. If you can boldly say that I have never played sports and be wrong, then surly I can use common sense and be right concerning this matter. Referencing Bron, Wade and CB is useless, my friend; their mothers weren't feuding about it on social media. Neither we're their former teammates tweeting about the problems of NIL. Furthermore, we are talking about 18 and 20 year old girls in college, not grown men in the NBA. No one is fearing LSU's so-called talent as you alleged, except Kim Mulkey because she knows it's not working. What's ridiculous is for gullible fans to think it will since the only hate is coming from the estranged NIL star and parents. When an LSU fan shows up on UA-cam, then calls astute minds lame USC fans because his favorite player messed up, that's not when his frustrations began. His frustrations began when he realized that USC has beaten them 13 times in a row. Reese's departure only intensified it. †
*And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.* *(John 8:32)*
I really hope that someone has spoken to both of those moms and told them how ridiculous this makes them and the LSU womens basketball team look..
Exactly!! Just ridiculous!
Thanks, Quita. Let's hope LSU gets its ship in order and that Angel's situation is resolved.
Being a diva is a BIG red flag for WNBA teams!!
If we are all being honest we knew Angela is a jerk the way she handled herself at the Finals. Nothing to see here; very predictable.
She dont care about the WNBA,, they dont pay much money.
My buddy in high school was recruited by several college hoops teams -- our school's coach always told him, "Remember, the college scouts aren't just watching when you score -- they're watching how you sit on the bench, how you walk to the bench, how you react when the other team scores, how you react when your team loses."
This was my worst fear as an LSU superfan this season. That it would go to folks heads, and the the big headed veterans would ruin the vibe for ALL the wonderful talent we brought in. I say bench anyone who aint got their head right, in the game, no matter their prestige. We gotta defend our title!!
She is being targeted because she made a deal during the season and I know that's a no go, Mulkey told them to do what the want for the summer come August it's all basketball no NIL Reese must have missed the memo.
@@politicallil7060 I’m not surprised , it takes character to handle fame and when you add money NIL it’s a recipe for disaster smh
I was thinking the same thing Dody.
When LSU lost that game here in Vegas I knew something was wrong. I thought they must have touring the strip but I see now it must be bigger than that. I hope they get it together.❤️✌🏽
@@politicallil7060
Okay. If that's true with Mulkey (only during the off season), that would make sense along with academic suspension. The question is: Which one is it, if either (the other speculation bandied about is nonsense haterade or super fan incredulous fears)!!??
Hello Quita. May I say you are a very intelligent, talented, informative and engaging person. I do hope things work out for Angel because she is a very talented basketball player. What I fear, is this is the beginning of the influence from NIL contracts. Thinking too much on those things and not keeping your head in the game. I hope it doesn't ruin the game and the players.
Thanks so much for your support!
In general I do agree with your fear, NIL has opened up a whole new world and it will take a couple more years to really settle into this new NIL world
Money talks, the athletes have a short life in sports. As a former athlete, I've always stayed that we were prostitutes for these universities. We have got to be better managers of our craft and complete the task of receiving the degree to complete the goal of obtaining the degree. A professional career isn't guaranteed
Facts.. NIL will eventually change the narrative of the game.. These women wont get paid much if they go to the WNBA and they know that.
I agree. Instead of athletes thinking about getting better so they can be successful in the pros it’s all about money.
I believe that she’s beaching her to get more players in the right position to play, and it might be the lack of her playing situation
Not to worry. Kim Mulkey is hard core old school and very successful that way. She doesn’t give a rip about social media. She will do what’s best for the team and we will find out in due time.
Agree, Mulkey put a championship team together. She coached them to that championship, people seam to forget that. Coach is doing what she does - Coaching.
Angel has to realize she’s not bigger than the program- regardless of how good she is-
I had a fear of this happening. Also I think the whole NIL deals are getting out of hand at LSU. Money is the root of all evil and when you start shoveling tons of money to these colleges kids everything else becomes secondary and enters the problems. Whatever is happening behind the scenes I will say the coach is going to fail those kids if she doesn’t step in and install class and discipline into these young ladies, if she is letting money interfere with their college education and sports talent’s then LSU is in for a rude awaking. I hope these kids truly put their faith in their studies and talents and don’t lose themselves in the money bs. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
What’s NIL?
This is sad ( and embarrassing) to witness. I hope the team can get it together
Hi well I agree it is very sad and its called Drama this is not good for the team right now. LSU better understand that south Carolina is number 1 and enjoying where there are .
Outstanding work Quita...keep your eye on the prize.
Thank you! Will do!
PS: Just watched your video Quita, after congratulating you on your views and comments before I looked at it. Thank you for the professional, non uber hyperbole; Prisoner Of The Moment, utter speculation driven presentations we've seen from so many other channels.
I have no idea what's going on. But like I said before, it could be academic probation based on those family tweets; Mulkeys comments before SE Louisiana, and the fact Angel didn't travel to a "local game". We'll see?
All the drama (whatever is), doesn't necessarily have to hurt the team, it can make them stronger actually (both mentally; through more effective coaching, and playing time for others if Angel is gone for whatever reason).
I agree. Angel and LSU, receivers a lot of crazy undue criticism. And besides them winning last year (and that made up brouhaha with the Hand). It appears many female basketball fans are not used to a certain spotlight, and take their sports ultra aggressively, even when what's discussed has no facts, analysis, or history behind it. as if we're talking/listening to 8 yr olds. But then again, that's social media in a nutshell, and many of us take it too seriously, as if it's reality, and it's not! Just look how that total non even between Reese and Caitlin Clark, was instigated on social media by two famous (no doubt Bandwagon) Caitlin Clark/Iowa fans, when no one noticed or discussed the Hand Non Event during the game; the post game show, or the analyst comments after the on the court post game show! It was a big/Total Nothing Burger. However, many (on both sides) were led to absolute bedlam and insanity by "repping" their team or players for a total non event that we've seen countless times in sports, which caused no shouting matches; altercations; excessive shoving; obstruction; gesticulation or fights. Absolutely none (either before; during or after the game)! But corporate media eventually covered it (as an excuse/proxy), when Keith Olberman and Dave Portnoy of Barstool criticized Angel Reese (no doubt due to their frustration in Iowa losing, after media told them they were going to win) for a total non event. Even now, after 6 months of reflection, some crazy SC and Iowa fans, bring up "The Hand" non event gesture, as justification to hate Angel Reese, and/or call her "Ghetto" and other sundry monikers (as you noted), many times contradicting themselves or the team or players that they root for themselves with no self awareness what so ever! Unfrickinbelievable!
You can't make this up!
Grind daily flex occasionally. We don’t know Angel but the sense is that this off-season she did the opposite…flexed daily and grinded occasionally. Hopefully all is well personally and LSU still has 3-plus months to correct the situation. Huge lesson learned.
12 days in and this season has had a year’s worth of craziness already!
Best take I've seen on this issue thus far. Thank you
I don’t think it’s her GPA it has to be something deeper
It's gpa and poor attitude
Kim kills me trying to play dumb around not being on social media. She has to have been informed , but I guess this is the easiest way to avoid discussing things.
I think coach Mulkey benched her in early in that game for shooting that 3...coach probably told her not to do that (she always misses them..)...she shot it anyway. Got benched right after..then some crazy blowout happened in locker room at half time.
This is what i was thinking too. Coach must have told her not to shoot those three and the first thing she did was to shoot the 3. Then maybe couch was like not today. She tried about 3 if not 4 three pointer and missed them all in the first half. Then second half came and she never played.
The way I was waiting for you to drop this tea ☕!
Thanks for waiting on the video!
I was waiting for as many details as possible before I made something. We will see what happens from here…
Social media can be the worst, Angel is an awesome player, I don’t know here personally or what kind of person she is, I do think she needs to work on her attitude when playing and being interviewed, she has so many young girls out there that she’s setting an example for. I really hope whatever is going on, soon she will return to the team.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Right now the crown is too much for Reese to bear. The great ones stay hungry.
Angel don't let this drama interfere w/your future...you know your narrative let people talk but don't let that stop you...once you respond everyone has something to say...remember they have nothing to lose you do❤
Great you got so many views, and comments Quita!!!
You deserve it. Keep up the excellence!!
I haven't looked at your video or read your comments yet. However, based off what's happened and what we're hearing. It appears Angel may be under academic probation and suspension of some sorts? This is especially true, when you think about the nature of the purported tweets between family members discussing Angel Reese's GPA (as if other family members are disappointed that Angel Reese may have let down her team). In addition, there was speculation that Angel and Fla'jae were involved. So, though there may be an academic issue. Flau'jaes mom could of had that response, if she and her daughter had a messy situation?
Any who: Regardless, of the reasons. If Reese can come back this season, her being out can actually help the team in the long run, as as Mulkey was already seemingly having a hard time trying to shoehorn so many talented players that deserved time and their roles. Having Angel on the sideline for some time being, can give others more confidence and experience in the line up/with Mulkey, that they wouldn't have with Angel sucking up 30-35 min game. That sorta confidence and role playing will be needed if they are to repeat as National Champions.Mulkey were trying shoehorn different roles in the first place.
We'll see how this all plays out, and (once again) AR and the LSU women are giving women's basketball-like it or not- way more publicity than it would have gotten otherwise.
WOW. I am terribly disappointed about this situation...but I am not surprised, not totally. I had hoped that when the team practices and the season began, Angel would be able to flip a switch and focus on basketball...and the TEAM. Still, I was always concerned that there would be drama with all the big name players, but I thought if anyone could manage all the personalities, it would be Kim Mulkey, but this serves as a reminder that this is a new generation of players, some of whom give ZERO f**ks about authority. Speaking of authority, Mulkey and her staff should have reined Angel in as far back as the White House situation. Lastly, the situation with the mothers' dueling social media posts is BANANAS. Bottom line: They ALL need to say less. I could say more, but I won't.
Whatever is happening I hope Angel Reese is well and taking care of herself. Some people want to see her fail so bad. It’s weird. Every time we see an outspoken Black woman winning society seeks to knock them a peg.
I was 21 once and life is just hard around that age. Add fame, money, etc. and I could only imagine. Glad we are giving her some grace!
Fact is this, none of us really know what's going on. It's all speculation until the facts come out.
Facts!
@@QuitaLovesSports 🫡
Rich and unmotivated. Not everyone can handle that level of success and attention
I'll tell you the issue. When she acted the way she did in the national championship when she wasn't even a factor to act the way she did and many blacks come to her side to make it a racial issue instead of holding her accountable about how to act and molding her in a positive way. They made it OK in her eyes that she can do no wrong and that she's bigger than she actually is. If it was my daughter I would've on her ass on the court. But this is the outcome.
You said it best.
I'm sincerely happy that I came across your channel today as your voice is definitely one of most reasoned, rational and straight down the middle voices I've heard in quite awhile in the sports debate space. I'm looking forward to hearing your take on more in the future. Be Swell.
Once Angel did that Cardi/Latto without Flau’jae all this could have been predicted. Great video! Glad I found your page.
Let's just support them. They'll get it together❤
Thank you for a balanced and rational summary of what might be happening and giving some grace to a public figure almost all of us know very little about. We'll done!
Glad it was helpful!
Iowa Hawkeye/Caitlin Clark fan here. Wish Angel the best she's a great character and great for women's basketball. Nothing but love ♥️
Me personal I feel its more to the story. Jazmine Carson said y'all don't want me to say nothing cause what I have to say will hurt LSU.
She’s just jealous of Angel & Flau'jae’s NIL😂
Quita, you da best ! ❤
I appreciate your support! ❤️
This situation is a mess, whatever it is. I have to think that LSU will get it together by the new year and this whole situation will be a footnote.
My unsubstantiated prediction is that Angel got into a physical altercation with a teammate/Kim. No evidence on that, just where my mind is right now. Angel Reese is a talented player and I believe she’ll be back in it before too long.
This whole situation is messed up i wish the moms didn’t bring the issue on the internet. Which parent will want their child to commit at LSU after all this? Let’s be honest! Even the people that wanted to commit to lsu might change their mind bcoz of this same situation. Believe you me this whole situation has messed up a lot of things and LSU will suffer for it.
If it’s physical she’s finished
Naw that would have been out there trust me..Reese broke the rules coach told them no NIL activities during the season she should have had that shoe deal worked out and announced during the summer vacation. The coach gave anybody who wanted it the summer off.
The mother of FlauJae went overboard and the hood dozens was really uncalled for but we as a people don't know how to set aside nonsense and keep making them dollars. She act like she made Angel Reese I thought Angel had an agent when she came to LSU. That tweet gave me the impression from her that's FlauJae's mom has been the one getting Reese all her NIL deals and making her wealthy kinda odd...guess she can put her back in the po house. Then fronting her about her grades that was foul as it gets. If Reese is smart she'd turn over the team to FlauJae because it's no need in getting your character assassinated over some NIL deals. I'm like this chick if you can rock NIL better than me you can have my chair. I'd turn in my uniform on Monday team up with Shaq for an ambassador job and keep it moving if I were her. If you get that kinda gangsta target on your back you best duck.😮 No way no how would I ever interact with FlauJae moms again...she ain't nothing nice and as shrewd as they come. I'd let go any type of NIL deals she's involved in and get out of town but fast.
Quita girl your comment section is on fire today & a little more hostile than usual. Thanks again for you consistent coverage of WBB!
I’ve seen a lot of chatter on Twitter & seeing narratives of like she was doing TikToks all summer, was with that man, didn’t post not one workout video.
When WE actual fans of the sport, know she was literally playing for Team USA.
She’s such a trending topic for college wbb and rightfully so but it’s bringing in haters who don’t even respect what she and all of these women do.
I found you during March Madness & appreciate your take on things & your sports mindset! I was born a Tiger fan, & I can say that LSU fans are hurting over this drama. We all hope Angel gets back in the game soon & the team can gel together & unite for the cause! 💜💛
PPl can say what they want or feel about Angel Reese all day long, but when reality and the facts are brought to the table a couple major things gone stand out. She might of blew up over night if you look at it that way, but she made an IMPACT and STAND that will last forever. How many ppl can say they did that? PPL may say and believe she is "overrated" as a basketball player, But she damn for sure is "Underrated" as a human being. Got to give props when they are due, Angel Reese made an Impact for women sports that is rarely matched. Alot of female athletes will benefit because of her actions. She said she is unapologetically her, so let her be here.
Very nice job Quita. Got a great head about you. Keep up the good work.
The money and fame went to her head. That is all. It happens to mature grown ups and it most certainly happens to immature children.
I am a LSU fan,much as I hate to agree with you but what's right is right.And you told it like it is...
Let's go LSU keep it together. Y'all got this ❤
No they don't..
I believe it has something to do with the White House situation when they won the game. But you're taking cap song now. They're tried to discredit this. Young lady not fair, but it is what it is. But this would not stop her shame on shame on shame on the coach. Everyone knows if you win the championship. The team goes to the White House.
But they invited both teams. When did this start happening? This is where all this came from. Hard to believe. But I believe it's true, wow. Remember the words when they go low you go high
Hailey Van Lith needs to play like she did in Louisville...Flajae just put up 17pts💪🏾😎🔥
Kim went in straight Nene mode “that’s all y’all need to know”
Reporter: is LaDahzia injured
Kim: unless the hurt her on the bench. Y’all stepped on her toe😅
Okkkkk
I didn’t like that response. She gives crack a whip energy
this is all jus messy and sad for the team. i hope this blows past. i jus want to see the girls ball.
Facts! This is all unnecessary drama
@@QuitaLovesSports yes. but something had to happ for angel mama to write that in her story. but i jus wish they woulda kept it in house 😔.
@@MaseratiHollyAngel mom was directing that msg to some man who has been sending her dms. In short she was telling the man why does he have to write an essay in the end doesn’t even say exactly what he wants. She even posted the next day saying that and I quote “ i think he saw the message cause today he didn’t text “ but for some reason mama Kia thought it was directed to her.
@@nizaschannel1441 wow….
I’m with you
This is solid... their moms need to get it together
Thank you Quita for your insight and objective view, it is really so sad to see the vitriolic spew shown toward Angel 22 yr old student athlete, I think this is just player and coach butting heads not the low gpa because if you’re not eligible you can’t play at all til grades are up, that’s for everyone high school and college, anyway can we maybe just show little empathy toward this young lady, I know I’m asking for miracle but it’s almost the season 😅
I'm praying for the best results here. No student athlete knows how to properly navigate things this early in life. Hopefully this is a pause that will give her the sense if urgency & propel her forward in the best way possible. For now ill call it overexposure...until i know othwise. This has happened to many overexposed young people whether in Hollywood or in other aspects of stardom. Im not mad at Angel for TRYING..
I wish the coach would have said it was for mental health reasons to quiet the monsters down. Is it possible that a 21 year old young lady's ego may have got the best of her, yeah. The pressure and hate being sent her way is tough to navigate. She got thrust into the limelight and has had money and fame of an insurmountable level, while in college. I think people forget she is in college. I have taught at the college level for years, and it is not uncommon for students, who are not millionaires with insane schedules to melt down. I get its hard for the public at large to empathize because she is making money and her public persona is the bad girl image, but at the end of the day, she is really young and probably struggling privately to handle it all. I wish the moms and coaches and teammates and former teammates would take a step back and give a little grace and look for ways to help her get grounded. In my opinion, the amount of hate and jealously is not deserved because she is a fierce competitor. If most of us were thrust into the spotlight at that age, would we be able to flawlessly navigate it? There are grown men in every league blowning it all the time, how about we give a little grace. I'm all for trash talking her game on the court, but I think it's tasteless to revel in her struggles off court and in her personal life.
Great comment well said
Lost of excuses and “give grace” in your take. Agree that our young people still have a lot to learn and when young we all do stupid stuff. At the same time, even before she got all this notoriety, we have been hearing about her lack of humbleness and tendency to run her mouth, so that’s who she is. As a parent of two D1 athletes with some success in their respective sports since they were little, something we made sure as parents my wife and I was to teach them that their talent was a gift and that respect, staying humble and to be respectful of coaches, teammates rival and officials at all times was a “must”. They learned that at home. So “to give her grace”??, we can do some of that, but there is a limit, as I know from personal experience that many young talented athletes do not behave that way.
Some good points in your analysis. But I’m glad we didn’t hear “mental health”. Mental health issues are very serious and shouldn’t be confused by things such as ego and personal responsibility and so on. I’m not saying don’t feel sympathy for Angel but if it’s not real mental issues, let’s not sue the term.
@@franciscoarroyo9402 I hear you, and judging by the parents going at it online, there could be a source of the issue as well. Not everyone handles pressure the same, and it is my hope that she doesnt break under all the scrutiny and hopefully there are some level heads that can provide the guidance she needs.
@@written12 Grades, celebrity, school, athletics and social media can all contribute to poor mental health and many people balk at the idea that all that pressure can cause poor behavior. Having issues with ego and anxiety and stress can all fall under than umbrella. Needing a break to deal with the pressure can be a mental health break. So I believe it would be ok to use the term.
I think that the parents should have stayed out of it. The children will eventually get back together and bond as a team.
💯
That part
There must have been something that happened prior to mama Kia responding to mama Angel’s msg. The unfortunate part is that the msg was directed to some guy who has been in mama Angel’s dm that’s why mama Angel said in her msg that you wrote all that just to say nothing, meaning just go straight to the point. She even said the next day that and i quote” i think he saw the msg and decided not to text today” meaning the man who has been sending her msgs.
Reese just have to get her grades up so she can get back on that court!💯
Angel keep your head up
Yea if it is her grades, I hope that she get them up ASAP
LSU is a powerful team with AR and without her. Morrow is a beast and the others can really play because they are coachable. As a former academic D1 athlete in 2 sports my focus was an education and I worked 40 hours fifty years ago. I made it in 4 years with double major and double minor on the Dean’s list. I know one of the young ladies on the team and this is how I met Kim Mulkey and she does not play with the players. I have followed her whole career and she knows how to win. Money changes people in several different ways. To become effective in your skill you must practice. Her mother needs to stay off of social media and the same for other parents. I hope and pray they get this settled very soon but I don't think they will have a chance to repeat with turmoil.
I dont know Angel Reese. I hope she works out whatever she is going thru. Very talented player.
Funny how a team wins a lot of people think they’re just going to keep running the table like there’s no other talent in the world. Basically y’all judge how talented a team is on if they are a household name. Ridiculous
With each Tik Tok , I knew the team and game enthusiasm would degrade. Loved the team, but these are precursors to team erosion. Hope it gets better.
They don’t need Angel to win to much TikTok
Umm they are going to need her when they play Virginia Tech in a couple weeks I don't know what you're thinking 😂😂
ok girl this vid doin numbers lol😂 🎯💯‼️
Dude it’s literally blowing my mind 🤯
@@QuitaLovesSports 🥂✨
Had a feeling this was coming.
Really? I’m pretty shocked about how their season is starting off
@@QuitaLovesSports they were on a high coming in and that loss turned everything for the worst. I hope it changes because LSU is good for womens basketball. I think they thought coming in things would be easy and they took their foot off the gas.
@@leenelson2299 they for sure took their foot off the gas and then Colorado punched them in the face, that game was for sure a wake up call
@@QuitaLovesSports agreed!
@@leenelson2299My question is can they get they're foot back in the gas and get things straightened out because I honestly believe they are gonna need Angel with a really good Virginia Tech team coming to town in a couple weeks 🤷🤷
I said it before and will say it again: NIL, as it's currently constructed, will ruin college sports as we know it. Players should be paid equal amounts directly from their universities rather than through NIL deals and corporate sponsors. Some NIL deals, such as Celeb Williams', are more money than most D1 football coaches' salaries. With the amount of money involved in some of these NIL deals, it's impossible for a 19- or 20-year-old not to think they are more important than the team. I'm not saying this is the case with Angel Reese because I don't know what's going on with LSU Women's Basketball, but I wouldn't be surprised.
The academic suspension makes the most sense to me, just for Johnson’s mother knowing about it!
There is even a rumor she is pregnant. I don’t know how true or not true but it is was rumor I seen on Twitter . I wonder also did Rikea Jackson got this much attention when she got suspended from Tennessee. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
I think that after LSU won the championship she kind of lost herself. She (Reese)was everywhere. Social media, commercials and magazine covers. I hope Miss Reese can get her mind and body back to where it needs to be. All the material stuff (fame, fortune) will come.
Angel deserves grace at the end of the day.
Oh please. Why does she deserve grace?
Accountability..... no excuses
Take one look at her and it's easy to figure out Reese's character and intellect.
This would never happen on a Dawn Staley team.
i really think Angel and Mulkey are at odds with each other. theres no way LSU would let their star be put on probation also Angel is a true competitor, she wouldn't quit on her teammates. so the two argued and harsh words were said so Angel got punished for it.
Right I don’t think it’s her gpa two egos clashed that’s what it is !!!
That maybe right hopefully she doesn't transfer
The most overlooked detail in this drama are the Moms, cause if they don't start it... Alexis and Jasmine don't chime in, like I said on your last livestream Quita, "they will blame Kim" ...and that's exactly what's happening.
Yea I wish the moms didn’t make stuff public on social… Yea, I’m seeing a lot of Kim blame on social, looks like you was right
Kim is the BEST wbb coach in our country right now..and has been. Why do ppl always wanna hate on her?! Her championship record shows what a talented coach she is..
So before the season start coach said she will be switching players throughout games
That’s Coach Mulkey way of trying to protect Angel Reese.. For me her GPA is the reason she’s not playing.. That’s why she said “sooner than later”.. Your grades have to be up to par in order to play ball.. That’s my thing.. LSU is still going to repeat as champions!.. GEAUX TIGERS!!!..🐅💜💛🏆💍
Grades are only part of the equation...its mostly due to her poor attitude!!!
If grades were the issue she would’ve been out of the Kent game. The fact that she was benched the entire second half and gone the next game is an attitude adjustment or she broke a rule
@@kekeinthehole, it's common knowledge that her grades suck...and if you'll educate yourself you see she benched/suspended her to apply an "attitude adjustment"
@@HannahDisponettyou’re just a hater like most white women. Just like her coach. That’s probably the most likely reason.
What popular athlete gets suspended for grades, lol? They can "work" around this if you know what I mean. I know I'm speculating, but I think Kim knew about Angel's grades (if that is indeed true) and this is get back due to Angel not playing within the system. I think something happened halftime during that Kent State game.
Its mostly her poor attitude
Next game for them is Monday at 8pm vs TX Southern. We'll see if she's there and if she plays. 🤷🏿♂️
I live in BR. I am close to members of the team. And I will say this. Fame and fortune HAS gone to Angels head. Her priorities are all out of wack. She does not have to go to class like normal student-athletes. She is supposed to be taking online courses like all normal student-athletes. Is she...I dont know. But I do know this..I WILL be talking to my girl after the game on Monday night to find out what's really going on.
Let us know what you find!!
Oh wow, please share back what you hear. I know about her online courses but I assumed that these teams have tutors to help ensure that the players are passing their classes, I guess LSU might not have that
@@Dody-dp7rk😂
Commenting to hear what you say. But she was on a media tour.
Who’s your Girl😂
Also Colorado made it to the sweet 16 and has everyone returning. And they are ranked 3 now… so you say “they’re not bad?” I’d say they got beat by a really good team
As a former BiG Ten faculty rep, I can tell you that grades get sorted out BEFORE the season starts… they had to report to conference what the grades and credits are before anybody can play.
Thanks for the insight! How often to players need to submit their grades, is it every week/month?
@@QuitaLovesSports Compliance Officer checks at beginning of each semester (or quarter for schools on quarter system like Northwestern, Stanford, UCLA, Oregon State) for 2 things… does student athlete have required GPA and does s/he have enough credits. My own granddaughter was basketball player at UCLA and was 1 credit short her final quarter. Fortunately I knew some colleagues there and got one to offer her a one credit independent study. They became longtime friends and he continues to follow her WNBA career and off season international play.
I like your channel. You are very well spoken. What we do know is she is not participating up to her expectations.
Sending love and light to AR and LSU WBB as a whole! Not a LSU fan but I like AR and I hope she’s ok!
She is young, but who said life is fair. People are mostly making comments because it makes people angry that someone with more talent than them appears to be throwing it away. It upset me that Caitlin Clark can’t hit a shot. The other thing is people are angry that the players should be happy people are watching women’s basketball now. I find it much more interesting than the men. Also, she is a professional athlete by my definition.
they didn't like her getting all the attention and taking away from the other girls. I hope she's back soon.
as a longtime bb fan I just started watching womens bb. last years iowa team was so much fun for us hawks fans. the last game was disappointment but not total disappointment. being interested in this year I watched a LSU game and soon realized that they dont really need angel to be a great team. they added at least two players that are fantastic. we will see what happens
Flaujae's mom is hating on Angel. Angel was getting all kinds of attention from corporations and superstars. She was transcending the sport. The mom became envious.
No, Flaujae mom is trying to protect her daughter. Angels mom is the one who brought it up on social media.
@nottoomuch87 Protect her daughter from who? The mother is hating on the young lady. Also..Angel and Flaujae seem to be pretty close. She knew what she was doing by putting that info out there. She knew that naysayers and detractors were going to run with it. The moms should have kept it between them. Angel's mother didn't bring flaujae into it. So..Flaujae's mother shouldn't have spoken on Angel
@@mikae345 From Angel's temper tantrums.
@@mikae345Are naysayers Jasmine & Alexis😢
I support angel Reese all the way and wish her nothing but the best it's to much jealousy going on no body is better than no body
What we need to do is wrap our arms around this young lady, prayers and support healing what ever is going in her life, Stop downing a lot of people Can't handle all at once success.Give much love as you can.pease out love to her and family. H.Robinson
Exactly!
I value your expertise and diplomacy.
Sheesh I thought Kim had turned the corner
On vibing with reality she is not up to speed as in relating to the modern player. It is early so I do expect them to move forward and win...I to pray all is ok with Angel...
Walked by her after class and I smelled something really bad.
To me Angel Reese has blown up to be the most marketable female in all of basketball. She also has 100% femininity .
well said Quita.
Just doing things the good old fashion way , thanks Coach , great move.❤
I feel like being benched she's pissed, also the coach's answers along with the way she said it IMHO spells trouble not to mention battling mommas
Hey quite I think if kim didn't give her permission to skip the game then she can nt play when she returns I don't think she gave her permission because in her interview she would have said she gave Angel a few days off to deal with something but she didn't say so that give me to think she likes to know what going on with her also.
