Kim Mulkey’s staff calls out Angel Reese for lying about LSU practices sparking NCAA violation rumors

Angel Reese, now a forward for the Chicago Sky and a former LSU Tiger, recently caused a stir with her comments about LSU’s practice routines. In a viral statement, Reese claimed that during her time at LSU, practices lasted for four hours daily.

“At LSU, our practices were like four hours. We were ready. We were working. I thought (WNBA) training camp was going to be harder,” Reese remarked, reflecting on her transition to the WNBA.

These statements quickly raised questions about NCAA compliance. The NCAA enforces strict guidelines limiting the duration of team practices to ensure student-athletes are not overworked.rworked.

Reese’s assertion of lengthy practice sessions sparked rumors and concerns about potential NCAA violations at LSU, given these rigorous regulations.

Current LSU Kim Mulkey’s assistant coach Gary Reedus felt compelled to address Reese’s claims. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Reedus responded, “We don’t practice 4 hours every day. But you leave LSU prepared! #GeauxTigers.”

His comments aimed to clarify that while LSU’s program is demanding, it operates within the boundaries set by the NCAA, thus dispelling the notion of routine four-hour practices.

Reedus’ public rebuttal is significant, as it highlights the sensitivity around NCAA rules and the importance of maintaining compliance. The potential implications of Reese’s comments, if true, would be severe for LSU, prompting immediate scrutiny from fans and officials alike. Reedus’ quick response indicates the program’s commitment to transparency and adherence to collegiate sports regulations.
