From today's featured article  Angel Reese (born 2002) is an American college basketball player for the Louisiana State University Tigers (LSU) of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). At Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore, Maryland, she was ranked the number two player nationally in the class of 2020 by ESPN. Reese joined the Maryland Terrapins as the highest-ranked recruit in program history, and was named a third-team All-American by the Associated Press as a sophomore.
