Reese attended Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore, Maryland, where she was awarded McDonald's All-American honors in 2020 and was ranked the number two player in her class by ESPN. She joined the Maryland Terrapins as the highest-ranked recruit in program history, but her freshman season in 2020–21 was interrupted by a fractured right foot. She was named a third-team All-American by the Associated Press as a sophomore. In her junior season, Reese transferred to LSU and was a unanimous first-team All-American selection. She led LSU to its first national championship, where she was Most Outstanding Player. Reese set the NCAA single-season record in double-doubles and the SEC single-season record in rebounds. As a senior, she was named SEC Player of the Year and an All-American.
Reese was selected by the Chicago Sky with the seventh overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft.

At the international level, she helped the United States win a silver medal at the 2023 FIBA Women's AmeriCup.
Early life
[edit]Angel Reese was born on May 6, 2002, in Randallstown, Maryland, to Angel and Michael Reese.[1][2] She learned how to play basketball from her mother at a very young age and grew up playing against her brother, Julian, in their driveway. Reese competed in a recreational league in Baltimore County, where her mother also played. She emerged as one of the best players in the city and had success playing above her age group and on boys' teams.[3] Reese played the point guard position before having two growth spurts by her first year of high school. In addition to basketball, she took part in ballet, gymnastics, swimming and track during her childhood.[3][4] Reese often attended Washington Mystics games and drew inspiration from Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) players Candace Parker and Maya Moore, as well as former National Basketball Association (NBA) player and Baltimore native Muggsy Bogues.[5][6] She was coached by Ron James with Team Takeover, an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) program based in Washington, D.C. that competes in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL), a national circuit.[7] Her A
High school career
[edit]Reese attended St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, Maryland, where she was a four-year varsity basketball player under head coach Jerome Shelton.[1][13] Early in her career, she was teammates with future WNBA player Nia Clouden.[14][15] Due to her size and athleticism, she could play all five positions and entered the starting lineup midway through her first season.[16] As a freshman, Reese averaged 11.1 points and 11 rebounds per game, earning All-Metro first team honors from The Baltimore Sun.[17] She helped her team win the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland (IAAM) A Conference title and finish the season with a 30–1 record.[18] Her team suffered its only loss to Hamilton Heights Christian Academy at the High School Nationals semifinals, where Reese recorded 20 points and 24 rebounds and made a putback shot to beat the buzzer and send the game to overtime.[19] She was named to the High School Nationals all-tournament team.[20]
In her sophomore season, Reese repeated as an All-Metro first team selection, helping St. Frances win the IAAM A Conference championship and achieve a 24–4 record. She averaged 17.6 points, 12.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.8 blocks per game, leading her team in all four categories.[21][22] Following the season, Reese played in the Capital Classic and was named her team's most valuable player after guiding the United States Future Stars to a 115–80 win over the Capital All-Stars.[23] She was suspended early in her junior season after punching an opposing player in the face during a preseason scrimmage; no charges were filed.[15][24] Reese averaged 22.6 points and 19.3 rebounds per game as a junior and was named All-Metro Player of the Year by The Baltimore Sun after leading St. Frances to the IAAM A Conference title.[25] That year, she led Team Takeover to the Nike EYBL championship, posting 18 points and 11 rebounds in a 57–47 win over All Iowa Attack in the final.[26]
In January 2020, Archbishop Spalding High School head coach Lisa Smith was fired from her position after her private messages on Instagram criticizing Reese's behavior were made public. Reese's mother felt that the messages included racial overtones by attributing Reese's success to being genetically gifted.[24] On January 31, Reese's number 10 jersey was retired by St. Frances, and she became the first female player to receive the honor.[14] As a senior, she averaged 18.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.5 blocks per game, winning her fourth straight IAAM A Conference championship and helping her team finish with a 25–3 record.[27] Reese was selected to play at the McDonald's All-American Game and the Jordan Brand Classic, two major high school all-star games, but both were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[27] She repeated as All-Metro Player of the Year and was also named High School Female Athlete of the Year by The Baltimore Sun. Reese finished her career with 1,720 points, second in St. Frances history to Melba Chambers, and 1,250 rebounds.[16][27]
In addition to basketball, Reese was a member of the volleyball team at St. Frances, playing the outside hitter position.[28] In her freshman season, she helped the team win the IAAM C Conference championship, the school's first IAAM title in a sport other than basketball.[29] Reese led St. Frances to another IAAM C Conference title as a sophomore.[28]
Recruiting
[edit]Reese was considered a five-star recruit, the number two player and the top wing in the 2020 class by ESPN.[4][30] By her junior season of high school, she held scholarship offers from over 24 NCAA Division I basketball programs, including Maryland, South Carolina and Louisville.[31] On November 1, 2019, she announced her commitment to Maryland, becoming the highest-ranked recruit in program history. Her other finalists were South Carolina, USC, Syracuse and Tennessee.[14][32] On November 13, Reese signed a National Letter of Intent with the program.[33] She was drawn to Maryland because of its proximity to her home, head coach Brenda Frese, who had recruited her since eighth grade, and assistant coach Shay Robinson. She preferred to play with a post player in Shakira Austin, who instead transferred from the program before Reese's first season.[32][34] She was also attracted to Maryland by its strong academics and the Philip Merrill College of Journalism.[4]
College career
[edit]Freshman season
[edit]Reese entered her freshman season in the starting lineup for Maryland, primarily as a power forward.[35][36] Despite being a freshman, she was praised by head coach Brenda Frese for her leadership.[37] Frese viewed Reese as part of the team's Big Three that also included Ashley Owusu and Diamond Miller.[36] On November 27, 2020, she made her debut for Maryland, recording a season-high 20 points and nine rebounds in a 94–72 win over Davidson at the Gulf Coast Challenge.[38] In her fourth game, on December 3 against Towson, she suffered a Jones fracture in her right foot after landing awkwardly during the opening minutes.[39] She underwent surgery and was sidelined until February 23, 2021.[40][41] Reese came off the bench following her return from injury.[35] She helped Maryland win Big Ten regular season and tournament titles.[42] At the end of the regular season, she was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team.[43] On March 24, 2021, in the second round of the NCAA tournament, Reese scored 19 points to help second-seeded Maryland defeat seventh-seeded Alabama, 100–64.[44] In the Sweet 16, her team was upset by sixth-seeded Texas, 64–61.[45] As a freshman, Reese averaged ten points and six rebounds per game. Following the season, she won a silver medal with the Maryland 3x3 team at the USA Basketball 3X Nationals.[46]

On April 5, 2022, Reese entered the transfer portal with several of her teammates.[58] She later explained that she wanted a fresh start and a coach who would develop her into a stretch four to prepare her for the WNBA.[34] She was the most heralded transfer in the nation and took visits to Louisiana State University (LSU), South Carolina and Tennessee.[59][60] She took interest in LSU after Ohio State transfer Kateri Poole, whom she had known since high school, suggested that they visit the school together.[34]
Junior season
[edit]On May 6, 2022, LSU announced that Reese would transfer to their program.[61][62] She made the decision due to her trust in head coach Kim Mulkey and a desire to join a "winning culture".[61] Reese was also impressed by the school's interest in the women's team.[34] On November 7, she made her debut for LSU, recording 31 points and 13 rebounds in a 125–50 win over Bellarmine.[63] Reese posted 32 points and 15 rebounds in an 88–42 victory over Lamar on December 14.[64] She surpassed LSU's single-game rebounding record, held by Maree Jackson since 1977, during a 26-point, 28-rebound performance in a 74–34 win over Texas A&M on January 5, 2023.[65] Reese had her 20th straight double-double on January 23, with 14 points and 14 rebounds in an 89–51 win against Alabama. She broke the program record for consecutive double-doubles, set by Sylvia Fowles during the 2006–07 season.[66] On February 16, Reese had a career-high 36 points and 20 rebounds in a 69–60 win over Ole Miss.[67] She earned first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) and All-Defensive Team honors at the end of the regular season.[68] In the first round of the 2023 NCAA tournament, she recorded 34 points and 15 rebounds in a 73–50 win against Hawaii.[69] Reese posted 25 points, 24 rebounds and 6 blocks in a 66–42 second-round win over Michigan.[70] In the Elite Eight, she registered her 32nd double-double, breaking the SEC single-season record held by Teaira McCowan of Mississippi State. Reese was named Most Outstanding Player (MOP) of the Greenville Regional 2.[71][72] In the Final Four, she set the program and SEC single-season rebounding records after posting 24 points and 12 rebounds in a 79–72 win over Virginia Tech.[73]

Reese helped LSU win its first national championship, posting 15 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in a 102–85 victory over Iowa in the title game. She won the tournament Most Outstanding Player award and set the NCAA single-season record with 34 double-doubles.[74] In the closing minutes of the game, Reese followed Iowa star Caitlin Clark around the court and made a "you can't see me" gesture by waving her hand in front of her face—a taunt popularized by professional wrestler John Cena—before pointing to her ring finger in reference to a championship ring. Her actions came under scrutiny, with some journalists and analysts criticizing her for poor sportsmanship and others, including Reese herself, pointing to a double standard, because Clark had not received similar backlash for making the "you can't see me" gesture two games earlier.[75] Clark later defended Reese from criticism over the gesture.[76] The incident drew attention to the roles of race and gender in the perception of trash talk in sports since Reese is Black and Clark is white.[77][78][79] Following the game, First Lady Jill Biden remarked that she wanted Iowa to be invited to the White House along with LSU, as an addition to the custom of the president and first lady hosting the national champions. Despite Biden's press secretary clarifying that only LSU would be invited, Reese initially rejected the invitation and said she would prefer to celebrate with the Obamas, before accepting it with her team later that week.[80][81] President Joe Biden called Reese individually to congratulate her on LSU's victory.[82]
Reese was a unanimous first-team All-American: she earned first-team All-American honors from the AP and the USBWA, and made the WBCA Coaches' All-America Team.[83][84] As a junior, she averaged 23 points and 15.4 rebounds per game, becoming the first women's player in over 15 seasons to reach those marks.[85] Reese led the NCAA Division I in total rebounds and offensive rebounds per game and ranked second to Lauren Gustin of BYU in rebounds per game.[86] Her 240 free throws made marked an SEC record, and she scored 830 points, the third-most in LSU history.[87] After the season, she won the BET Award for Sportswoman of the Year and the Best Breakthrough Athlete ESPY Award.[88][89] She received the Corbett Award as the top female amateur athlete in Louisiana.[87]
