Rickea Jackson is one of the many women set to be selected in the 2024 WNBA Draft. She, like many others, is also showing off her style ahead of the start of the draft.

Jackson arrived in Brooklyn, New York at the orange carpet in a bright red pantsuit. That’s not to mention the flashy accessories with the silver necklace or the styled, tinted sunglasses either.

Jackson played five collegiate seasons with three at Mississippi State and the last two at Tennessee. She appeared in 127 games, including 105 starts, while with the Bulldogs and Volunteers.

In total, Jackson averaged 17.8 points and 6.1 rebounds while shooting 47.9% from the field. She specifically played very well the past three seasons in college with her last one in Starkville and her two on Rocky Top.

As a Vol, Jackson posted 19.6 points, seven rebounds, and 1.8 assists while shooting 51.9% overall. That included this past season where she went for career numbers in 20.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 2.3 assists while knocking down 48.5% from the field.

Angel Reese’s WNBA Draft outfit revealed

Angel Reese is looking the part ahead of the WNBA Draft.

The former LSU basketball star was spotted wearing an all-silver dress when arriving at the WNBA Draft on Monday night. Reese looked relaxed as she’s projected to be a Top-10 pick.

In ESPN’s latest WNBA mock draft, Reese is projected to be selected by the Chicago Sky at No. 7 overall. Michael Voepel of ESPN wrote that Reese “was a dominant rebounder in college; she had 20 in her final game for LSU”. Voepel added, “A lot has been made of Reese needing growth on the offensive end. But Weatherspoon was a defensive specialist as a player and could really value Reese’s potential.”

Reese, 21, had a memorable career at LSU. In her two seasons with the Tigers, Reese was selected to the All-SEC First Team twice was named SEC Player of the Year in 2024 and led the Tigers to a national championship in 2023. Reese came close to leading the Tigers to back-to-back titles, but the team lost the Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Elite Eight this year.
