Hailey Van Lith Commits To LSU

by

Hailey Van Lith created her own star in the 2023 Women’s Basketball Tournament. The former Louisville star carried her heart on her sleeve and wasn’t afraid to show her emotions. Lousiville’s tournament run ended in the Elite 8 after a classic game with the Iowa Hawkeyes. Since then, Van Lith believed her time with the Cardinals was over. Any team that would gain Van Lith would instantly become a top team. But what happens when the top team gets the top transfer?

On Thursday, Van Lith announced her intentions to join the LSU basketball program. A huge addition to a team that was already thinking repeat. However, the addition of Van Lith may now have the team not only thinking championship. But thinking about the opportunity for perfection. The Tigers roster is already filled with massive talent. Including Angel Reese, Flau’jae Johnson, and Alexis Morris. Now, it only looks like the rich will only be getting richer.

Hailey Van Lith Makes LSU Even Better

LSU is becoming the place to be for all women athletes. Van Lith’s commitment to the Tigers gives the program three of the top ten NIL stars for women’s sports. The Tigers also have an athlete in the first spot, Livvy Dunne. While the talk of NIL and super teams is nice, fans can’t forget head coach Kim Mulkey. Many were stunned when Mulkey walked away from the head position at Baylor. Mulkey had created a dominant force with the Bears. However, it took the legendary college coach no time to put LSU on the map.

Fans of SEC basketball have seen many dominant programs. Including Pat Summit’s epic run with Tennessee. As well as what Dawn Staley is currently doing with South Carolina. However, it looks like there could be a new dynasty down in Baton Rouge. Do you believe the addition of Hailey Van Lith has secured the Tigers another national championship? Can LSU run the table and go undefeated next season? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section. For the latest news in sports, keep it right here with HNHH.

Angel Reese Reveals What She Told Shaq In Recent Conversation

by

Angel Reese has become one of the biggest stars in the history of women’s college basketball. Reese was a major factor in the LSU Tigers winning the 2023 National Championship. Since that game, Reese has gone on to become an icon for the sport. However, it started out with a heated debate over her in-game celebrations. Fans chose sides when Reese began celebrating the impending championship over Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes. Thankfully that debate has been put to rest, and Reese is being celebrated for her play on the court.

Reese’s play on the court has caught the eyes of many in the basketball world. Including NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. Shortly after LSU’s national title run, Shaq was asked about his thoughts on the college basketball star. Shaq didn’t hold back on his high praise for Reese. The LSU legend claimed that Reese is the greatest athlete to ever attend LSU. Those comments are high praise considering how many great athletes have once called LSU home. However, Reese recently told Shaq to maybe slam the brakes on those claims.

Angel Reese Doesn’t Want G.O.A.T. Claim Just Yet

Reese recently spoke about Shaq’s comments during an interview with the Breakfast Club. During the interview, Reese told the crew what she said to Shaq about his comments. “Do you know how much pressure you just put on me?” Reese stated that Shaq didn’t seem to care about the pressure Reese must be feeling. However, Reese isn’t done with her legacy in Baton Rouge. The Tigers star will be returning next season to write another chapter in an already memorable legacy.

However, some past LSU athletes didn’t agree with Shaq’s comments on Reese. Olympic athlete Lolo Jones eviscerated Shaq’s comments on Reese being the greatest LSU athlete. But Jones didn’t disrespect her fellow Tiger. Jones claims she is a big fan of Reese, However, giving her the title of greatest athlete to ever attend LSU is disrespectful to those that have come before her. Do you agree with Shaq that Angel Reese is the greatest athlete to ever attend LSU? Please give us your opinions in the comment section. For the latest news in sports, keep it right here at HNHH.

Angel Reese Suggests Drake Invited Her To His Toronto Home To Shoot Hoops

by

Angel Reese faced a polarizing response after her victory with LSU, though the hip-hop community did nothing but celebrate her accomplishments. The LSU Tigers star faced a bit of backlash after taunting Caitlin Clark, though people like Shaq and Lil Wayne praised Reese’s skills on the court. However, it seems like there were a handful of folks who privately extended their congratulatory messages, including some of the most known figures in hip-hop and pop culture.

Reese, alongside her teammate and rising rapper Flau’jae, appeared on The Breakfast Club this morning where they discussed LSU’s win and the celebrity support. NBA Youngboy publicly tried to shoot his shot but DJ Envy asked about the other well-known figures that slid into her DMs. Reese revealed that both Drake and Future slid into her DMs to wish her congratulations. “You said two that you need to stay far away from,” Charlamagne said in response to Drake and Future, leading to a room full of laughter. “They just congratulated me. It’s all congratulations,” Reese clarified.

Drake & Future Slide In Angel Reese’s DMs

In addition to Drake and Future, Reese said that DJ Khaled, who previously linked up with both LSU stars, and French Montana also reached out to her. However, that’s when Envy brought up Drake’s NBA-sized basketball court at his home. “Then Drake gonna say, ‘Yo, you know I got a basketball court at the crib?’ Did he say that yet?” Envy asked. Reese didn’t respond but she and Flau’jae looked at each other before erupting into laughter, which Envy and Charlamagne took as an admission. Whether or not Angel Reese accepted Drake’s invitation has yet to be confirmed.

Even if Reese doesn’t make her way to Toronto, it seems like the Drake connection could be fruitful one way or another. This morning, the rapper added new dates to the It’s All A Blur tour with 21 Savage. Hopefully, Drizzy blessed her with some seats for the upcoming tour to celebrate an incredible season. Check out Reese and Flau’jae’s appearance on The Breakfast Club above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Angel Reese Drops Cryptic Tweet Amid Van Lith Visit

by

The transfer portal has become a vital part of college basketball in recent years. A pandemic-era change to the system means that every player now gets one “immediate transfer”. This put an end to the rule that transferring players must sit out the subsequent season after joining their new school. This rule came under heavy scrunity after the debacle surrounding James Wiseman, who essentially played no games in college due to transfer ineligibility.

This increased freedom of movement has been monumental in college basketball. When NIL deals are factored in, the players have more power than ever. We saw the impact that the portal can have last year as Kim Mulkey essentially built LSU’s National Championship out of it. Furthermore, 15 Sweet 16 teams started at least one transfer in this year’s NCAA Tournament. And with a wealth of high-value talent in the portal this year, is Mulkey about to do it again?

Reese Tweets As Van Lith Visits LSU

Hailey Van Lith’s entry into the transfer portal was a shocking twist in the college basketball offseason. Van Lith is a three-year starter for the Louisville Cardinals and already hit triple digits in games started. Despite standing 5″7, she is a deadly shooter who has improved her points per game year-on-year and is a career 42.2% field scorer. She led Louisville to at least the Elite Eight in all three seasons. ESPN ranked Van Lith #1 on their list of top players in the women’s transfer portal. On Tuesday, various outlets reported that Van Lith was in Baton Rogue for an official visit with LSU. The #7 prospect in the 2020 class, Van Lith chose Louisville over Kim Mulkey-led Baylor.

Reese’s only comment on the situation was a single-emoji tweet that day, showing the emoji face covering its face with its hands. It’s easy to interpret this as representing Reese’s “you can’t see me” taunt that she directed at Caitlin Clark during the 2023 National Championship Game. Fans have taken this to mean that Van Lith is LSU-bound and that Reese is predicting another championship game appearance. Both players will be eligible for the WNBA draft in 2024 and both are currently predicted to be top-5 picks.

Lolo Jones Slams Shaq’s Angel Reese GOAT Claim

by

Lolo Jones is one of the most accomplished athletes around. She began her career in the early 2000s at LSU as a sprinter and hurdler. An 11-time All-American, she won the 60m indoor hurdles in 2003 and was part of LSU’s back-to-back 4x100m relay team in 2003 and 2004. However, she failed to qualify for the 2004 Olympics. She made it to Beijing in 2008 but stumbled on the penultimate hurdle in the 100m event, turning a potential gold into a 7th-place finish. She improved to a 4th-place finish at London 2012. She also picked up world indoor titles in 2008 and 2010.

However, that isn’t her only sporting accomplishment. Jones (who is still racing as of 2023) is also a two-time World Championship bobsleigh gold medallist. She took home her first medal at the 2013 championships in the mixed team event. She returned to the podium in 2021, taking gold in the two-woman event. She is one of the greatest athletes to ever represent the United States.

Jones Calls Shaq “High” For Calling Reese the LSU GOAT

Jones’ success, and status as a Tigers alum, puts her in a unique position to debate Shaq’s recent claim that current junior Angel Reese is the greatest athlete to come out of LSU. “Look, Shaq’s just bored, you know? He’s coming off the hip surgery, he’s chilling at home. I think honestly that Shaq is high on some pain medicine.” However, Jones was not calling herself the GOAT, but instead arguing for LSU’s athletic prowess. “The list is so big from LSU. I just got back from practice – I train with thirteen Olympic athletes, all from LSU.” Overall, Jones spent over five minutes highlighting fellow alums and breaking down exactly why Shaq is wrong.

As much as we love Angel Reese, Jones has a point. LSU is absolutely loaded with GOAT contenders in every sport. Everyone knows that LSU is a sports school but one look at the school’s athletic hall of fame or pro league rosters shows you just how far the school sends its athletes. While Jones is clearly toying with Shaq a little, her overall point is clear. It’s that not Reese, who has only spent one season with LSU, isn’t great. It’s more that the LSU GOAT is not a title that can be handed out so easily. That is especially the case when LSU has produced so many athletes in sports that people don’t often think about. So while Jones is not bashing Reese in any way, she is standing up for the athletic prestige of her alma mater.
