Earlier this March, a week before the start of the NCAA tournament, Reese shared her plans to enter the WNBA draft with Vogue.
Instead of opting to release her statement to sports outlets like ESPN or announce her intentions at an NCAA post-game press conference, she reached out to Vogue directly, because “I didn’t want anything to be basic,” she said, from her home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She says she was inspired by Serena Williams’ move to break her retirement news in the September issue of Vogue in 2022. “I’ve done everything I wanted to in college,” Reese told Vogue.
“I’ve been so many things and I’ve stood strong every single time. I just try to stand strong for my teammates because I don’t want them to see me down and not be there for them … I’m still a human.” Reese says her decision to go pro as opposed to continue another year of college eligibility was not made lightly. She may never experience a fan base like the one she has in Baton Rouge, she told Vogue.
