Angel Reese appears to have it all in Chicago.
The No. 7 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft has already succeeded during the WNBA preseason, is being showcased on billboards across her new city, and was even brushing elbows with celebrities during the 2024 Met Gala.
And while Reese may be living her dream life as a superstar WNBA player, that doesn’t mean there aren’t things about her alma mater that she misses.

Reese spoke with the media after a Chicago Sky practice on Monday. During the interview, a reporter asked Reese about the difference between living in Chicago and in Baton Rouge, while she was at LSU.
“I do miss kind of being able to be constructive, with a schedule,” Reese responded.
She went on to discuss how she loved eating meals with her LSU teammates. Now, Reese said, all of her Sky teammates prefer to “do their own things” when it comes to pregame meals.
Although Reese likes the freedom that being a professional basketball player affords. And that not having to devote any of her free time to studying has been a blessing.
The “Chi Barbie” is set up for success in Chicago.
