Speaker 2 to DraftKings Network.

Speaker 1 Hey, what's up, y'all? Welcome to Good Follow Show presented by DraftKings. I'm Ross Goldman Wood,

Speaker 1 and we are coming to you live from nashville tennessee we are here for athletes unlimited it's kind of a preview to the season but it's around the corner coming in february of 2026 and for today's show we have a very very special guest

Speaker 1 we have an all-american out of lsu a rookie this season in the wnba for the connecticut sun she was the number seven draft pick in 2025 anisa

Speaker 2 what's up nisa how you doing girl hey i'm doing great it's great having time to be able to talk to you and be here. Yeah, I'm so excited to talk to you.

Speaker 1 I see you in glimpses here and there, and it's usually like, you look amazing.

Speaker 2 Thank you.

Speaker 1 Actually, let's start there because you are just fabulous. Thank you.
Everyone came here. It's kind of like a preseason media day for Athletes Unlimited.

Speaker 1 And everyone got to show up as themselves and present their style. And you pulled up in the fur.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 Tell me about like

Speaker 2 who you are from a fashion perspective and also like putting the boots the fur like just the whole glam together yes um majority of the time when I'm doing my styling I always like to refer back to my city in Chicago and I feel like that's really where the fur is at you know like being able to express myself but being versatile I know that my style has changed so much within the span of like three years but just being able to show who I am be a little bit tomboyish but also be a little bit chic and and feminine with all at the same time and I'm able to put that all together and enjoy it and it's fun yeah you know I feel like your fashion perspective is more bold and confident than a lot of young ladies your age.

Speaker 2 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 Like, first of all, do you have a stylist?

Speaker 2 Yes, I do. Oh, okay.
So who do you work with?

Speaker 2 I work with Tisha. She's, she's doing really good right now with helping me.
And honestly, like, the process has been great.

Speaker 2 She's very open to a lot of stuff that we do and it's been good. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I know we have a whole basketball story to dive into, but one of the highlights I've seen recently from you, you were at New York Fashion Week with Coach.

Speaker 1 Like we're talking the bags, the clothing, the lifestyle brand, Coach.

Speaker 1 What was that like for you to be on such a big stage with such a huge brand?

Speaker 2 It was great. Honestly,

Speaker 2 it was great. It was like playing dress up, honestly.
I had so many outfits, getting glam done, hair done.

Speaker 2 It was amazing being able to be around a lot of people and make a lot of connections while also being there, but experiencing like seeing that top fashion.

Speaker 2 And that is where I could see myself one day.

Speaker 2 Like being able to be in top fashion, modeling, like those are things that I want to do and be able to show like you could also be an athlete, but you could also show your feminine side and be true to yourself and be confident with it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I feel like we're seeing the merge of these worlds more and more. We're seeing WNBA players walking down runways.

Speaker 1 You know, we're seeing brands, beauty brands paying attention to women's athletes, to WNBA players. So you think you have a passion and a future in fashion and beauty?

Speaker 2 Yes, I do. Yeah.
I mean,

Speaker 1 to wrap on this too, it's also hair, you know, and I,

Speaker 1 you know, as a black woman, even playing ball, my journey with hair was a long one.

Speaker 1 And honestly, the story kind of was, I mostly maintained braids throughout a season, you know, or put my hair in a ponytail. But you are always super laid.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 And so what has your journey been with being a hooper and maintaining beautiful, fabulous, just amazing hair?

Speaker 2 Yeah, um, I would say like started off when you're younger, like you typically start off with the braids and you wear them for like two to three months.

Speaker 2 Honestly, you take it out, you wear your ponytail, and you kind of just go back to it.

Speaker 2 Like, that's typically how it was. And then you, you know, you start wearing wigs or you start getting more versatile.

Speaker 2 And I feel like when I was able to do that, I was able to change my hair up so often.

Speaker 2 Like, honestly, like, it was kind of my altered ego, you know, like being able to go into games, change my hair up, and have fun.

Speaker 2 And I feel like, as an athlete, athlete, you look good, you play good, and that's the biggest thing for me.

Speaker 2 But just learning more about like hair, hair industries, vendors, and everything of that nature, and being able to go out there and play and have 40-inch busts down and still dominate. You know, like

Speaker 2 you still have to show that feminine side of yourself and like be true to yourself while you're on the floor. But you don't have any limitations.
Like, I like to get my nails done. I like to wear my.

Speaker 2 lashes. I like to wear long hair.
It could be short. It could be curly, but it just shows that versatility within me and my personality.

Speaker 1 Yep, you'll be on the court with a big old, beautiful hairstyle and still set a rebounding record.

Speaker 2 Period.

Speaker 1 Um, but you know, part of the reason why you know you and all the other players here are so glammed up, it's it's athletes unlimited, they're doing the media day. How has it been?

Speaker 1 This is your first season, first try to join the league. How has it been being around? There's been veterans here and also the other rookies.

Speaker 2 Yes, it's been great. Honestly, I would say AU opened open and came with like open arms to me.
Honestly, all the players, but also the organization.

Speaker 2 the there's a great people like very genuine people and being here like it's been great like getting to know your teammates or people that you'll be playing with for just more than you know competitors and that's kind of how it is when you play in the w like we compete and i'll say like the first game that i was there i'm like we hugging like i don't i'll do this like

Speaker 2 but now like you get to sense that community and that's what it's all about. So with AU, you get to see, you know, people from a different perspective and actually get to know them.

Speaker 2 But, but your persona on the court is typically like I'm here to handle my business I'll be friends with you off the court yes for sure there are some girls who want to like hug on the court yeah there are and how do you handle that um honestly like I like to talk stuff like I like to play around if I know it's a teammate that you know I used to play with or that I'll played against in college like i'll still like chop it up with them and everything but i feel like they know at the end of the day like when anisa get on the floor like she's here to dominate and be able to be as competitive as she possibly can she gonna laugh and joke here and there, but like the ultimate goal is to win.

Speaker 2 You about your business.

Speaker 1 That's actually why maybe AU is a great league for you, because I feel like a lot of people come here and there's an agenda. There's a motivation.
Everybody here is on a different storyline.

Speaker 1 There's players here who have changed the trajectory of their career, got back into the W. I just spoke with somebody who is trying to showcase, you know, I still got game or

Speaker 1 This is your first year in AU. You were just a rookie in the W.

Speaker 2 What are you trying to get out of playing this season here i would say honestly just continuing to make my legacy i feel like everywhere i go i went and that's the mindset that i have to continue to make history wherever i go and be able to to dominate but also making connections like i feel like that's so underestimated in life like you could be stripped from so many things but if you have connection and good people around you like honestly you're the richest person in the world so i feel like that's the biggest thing for me and it's always been community but i would definitely say like coming and playing your sport you have to know your why and i will always say, like, that's my city.

Speaker 2 That's my family. And loving them.
And that's why I wanted to be here and be able to play so they could be able to experience my process with me.

Speaker 2 I am the first person in my family or on the south side of Chicago, on the women's side, to be able to be in the W and go professional and be able to do the things that I'm doing.

Speaker 2 So I have to embrace that because, you know, I'm one-on-one. So, you know, you have to walk a certain way.
You have to talk a certain way.

Speaker 2 be true to yourself and embrace like the blessing that God gave you.

Speaker 1 You're very young to walk with that much responsibility on your shoulders. Is that hard for you?

Speaker 2 Um, I would say at first it was, but like now I'm kind of at a point where I'm like I'm the chosen one and it's not easy for the chosen ones, you know, like you were put on this earth to be unique and different and that's why I say like throughout the whole process, like you have to embrace it.

Speaker 2 Like, I am very humble because I am blessed and I'm grateful for all the opportunities that I've been given. But at the same time, you have to embrace it.

Speaker 2 You have to be confident in it because one day you can have it, the next day you might not. So you have to enjoy it to your best ability.

Speaker 1 That's a bar. You know, you've got some poise beyond your years here.

Speaker 1 You mentioned family. You mentioned putting on for Chicago and where you're from.
How important was it to you to have an opportunity to keep playing ball and not have to go overseas?

Speaker 2 It's very important. I have little nieces and nephews that I want to be able to be around and watch them grow up.
And I feel like in college, you don't really get to do that.

Speaker 2 And like in the W, after that, you know, know, college season, everything moves so fast and so, you know, quick.

Speaker 2 Like I have to take advantage of the opportunities to be able to spend holidays with them and things of that nature and still be able to be proactive and chase my dreams.

Speaker 2 And I feel like when you receive an opportunity like that, you have to be grateful. And AU like

Speaker 2 has that opportunity for me. So just being able to take advantage of it.
And like how I said, they welcomed me with open arms. And it's been great since I've been here for Welcome Week.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And you also come up, speaking of family too.
Like Like you come up in a family of hoop of athletes. Yes.
Mom and dad were athletes at Nebraska. So dad played football.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 1 And mom played basketball. What was it like coming up in a family where, you know, it's led by athletes and maybe have they influenced the way you are as a player in person.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I would say it was very competitive in anything, but it was very healthy. Like, I would say like it was very like competitive and healthy.

Speaker 2 But also like growing up with, you know, an older brother and my little brother is way bigger than me now. And I have to let him him know, like, I'm still your big sister.

Speaker 2 Like, it was always competitive playing in the backyard. My mother would beat us almost every game.
Like, can you see your mom now? She retired, you know, like she said she's going to retire winner.

Speaker 2 So now that we got older, she can't keep up for real. She's like, I'm done now.

Speaker 2 She left on top. Every strategic.

Speaker 2 But it was great. Like, the mindset, they're very driven.
Both of my parents are very driven. My mother is a Hall of Famer at Nebraska.
My father won a natty with the football team in 94.

Speaker 2 So just being able to see like you can win at the best, you know, levels and be able to make it out of your city.

Speaker 2 I feel like both of them kind of have that same story of being that underdog and kind of being looked over.

Speaker 2 And like me growing up and being born and raised in Chicago, I feel like I have that chip on my shoulder.

Speaker 2 Like anywhere that I go, like I want to make something shape because I feel like you have a lot of people that doubt you or might like kind of look over you.

Speaker 2 But everywhere that I've been able to go and put my mind to something, I've been able to accomplish. So just continuing to do that.

Speaker 2 Girl, yes.

Speaker 1 And in some ways, I mean, you certainly have had to overcome things on the basketball court.

Speaker 2 You're only 6'1.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Technically, you know, for the position, you're smaller, but there's just something about you in a rebound.

Speaker 2 You know, there's just something about you in a rebound.

Speaker 1 Like, what is it that makes you so dominant on the glass?

Speaker 2 I would just say, like, a lot of times, like, how you just said, like, I'm 6'1 ⁇ , I might be smaller for my, you know, my position. You always told in life, like, things that you can't do.

Speaker 2 And I feel like for me, it's not really proving like other people wrong, but for me, it's like proving to myself that I'm always right. And it's about like the heart.

Speaker 2 It's about the will to want to get something done. And it's going to take extra work.
Like, the unseen hours is what really matters. I also cross-trained.
Like, I played volleyball in high school.

Speaker 2 So it's just being able to have that ability to be so versatile on the floor, but also in another sport and just taking advantage of that opportunity.

Speaker 2 So it's been great, but honestly, like, I just have a knack for rebounding. And I know that if I could rebound, like, there's not a bad rebound for a team.

Speaker 2 Like, it's being unselfish in a way, but it takes extra effort and work.

Speaker 1 You mentioned volleyball. So do you think you're faster off the ground than your opponent? Or is it more about positioning early? Are you stronger than the other opponent?

Speaker 2 I would say all of it.

Speaker 2 I would say it's a mixture of all of it. I know I just talked to Izzy and she was like, Girl, you strong.

Speaker 2 From a vet like Izzy, yeah. And I was just like, Yeah, like I've kind of been strong majority of my life.

Speaker 2 I would say, like, it's probably my genetics from, you know, both of my parents, but also just being able to go in there, have a mindset, you know, like coming in there as a rookie and playing against some of you know, your peers that, or superstars, best players in the world that you looked up to your whole life and being able to play against them.

Speaker 2 You like, I gotta hold my own. Like,

Speaker 2 I can't just come up in here and like be like, oh, you just a rookie or get punked in the pain, especially being undersized.

Speaker 2 So that's been the biggest thing for me, like, just playing with that grit and that competitiveness.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I also feel like you won't let anybody punk you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, where does, how does that manifest itself? Where does that come from for you?

Speaker 2 I would say how I was born and raised. Like, and I'm from the south side of Chicago.
Like, you don't want like that. We don't, I don't do that.
My parents are not going for that.

Speaker 2 So it's just like, you got to be ready for like what life throws at you. But on the floor, like it's bragging rights.
Like, that's kind of what I was talking about with my brothers.

Speaker 2 Like, if they beat me, they could talk about it for a whole week until we get to play again. I'm like, come on, come outside, let's play.

Speaker 2 So, I feel like it's more of like those bragging rights, but also holding your ground.

Speaker 1 Let's go back to the rookie year in your WNBA season here with the Connecticut Sun. Like by the end of the season, you really established a very nice role for yourself on this team.

Speaker 1 And also, like, kind of people could see the vision for what your career is going to look like. And in general, that's kind of how it looked for the Connecticut Sun.

Speaker 1 And that the way you guys started the season was not the way the team looked when you finished it.

Speaker 1 How was that for you going from a very dominant college team in LSU and you get drafted and picked up by a rebuilding young team with a new coach in the Connecticut Sun?

Speaker 2 Yeah, it just showed me that I had to adapt. Like, and I had to change my perspectives on a lot of things very quickly.
Like what?

Speaker 2 Giving myself grace, I would say that's the biggest thing.

Speaker 2 Like when you come from winning and being able to, you know, get on the floor and play all these minutes and be able to be so productive for your team right away. It's like you have to adjust.

Speaker 2 I had to grow up and I had to change my perspective just about the game and try to learn from different different ways.

Speaker 2 Being able to talk to, you know, players or vets and ask them just simple things. It doesn't even have to be about basketball.
It could be about life.

Speaker 2 And being able to to do that really helped me a lot. Like giving myself grace, understanding it's my process.
It doesn't matter how long that it take.

Speaker 2 And if I put the work in and unseen hours, they will show when I get the opportunity.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You also had a great veteran leader on the team and Tina Charles.

Speaker 1 You know, we're talking about somebody who's the all-time leading rebounder in the history of the WNBA. She's also here at AU for Athletes Unlimited.

Speaker 1 What did you have the chance to learn from playing alongside Tina Charles?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I would definitely say she's very efficient. Like sometimes we always talk about pro as slow and I would give her a hard time because I'm like, sometimes you move it so slow, but it's efficient.

Speaker 2 She's able to get past her opponent. She's able to get to the basket.
She's able to do the things that she needs to get done. And I feel like that's the biggest thing.

Speaker 2 And that's one thing that I've really been working on for my game: taking my time.

Speaker 2 I know that I have a motor and I could, you know, knowing when to use my speed, knowing when to slow down, knowing when to jab step, knowing when the ball fade, you know, just trying to play around with your defender.

Speaker 2 And I would say, like, that's one thing that she does a great job at.

Speaker 1 I often hear Tina Charles, you know, talking to players about slowing down. And that's a tough concept when you're young.

Speaker 1 Um, and just coming out of college, but but let's, you know, kind of round this out, talking a little bit of college too.

Speaker 1 Um,

Speaker 1 you know, when you were LSU, you were the winner of the Katrina McClain Award. This is for the best power forward in NCA.
I just want to give a couple accolades here.

Speaker 1 Finished with third most rebounds in D1 history. I mean, we talk in record books here.

Speaker 1 And it's interesting, too, because you started at the poll, but you finished at LSU.

Speaker 1 So, what was it? And how did you know that you wanted to go and be coached by Kim Mulkey and that she could be the right person to take you to that next step of your career?

Speaker 2 Yes, I would say I stayed at DePaul because I wanted to be close to my family. And during that time, it was COVID and you never knew when you was going to be able to see your family at that time.

Speaker 2 Honestly, like wanting people to stay at home for school, you know, everybody kind of leaves and go away and play elsewhere.

Speaker 2 But being able to go there and make history, being named, you know, National freshman of the year and be able to get that done it was great because my family was there I was able to have that support right then and there but when things happened and the portal was open and there was more opportunity for me like I wanted to take advantage of that and going into the portal and being able to talk to to Moki and also Angel like she really said in my visit the whole time like we need you here and um

Speaker 2 the tradition and I would just say the love around LSU and that brand is tremendous. And I didn't really see myself getting that, you know, from any other school.

Speaker 2 And that's why I decided to, you know, choose LSU. And it was a great opportunity for me.
I was able to learn a lot.

Speaker 2 I feel like Moki taught me a lot about, you know, getting prepared for the real world.

Speaker 2 And it helped me a lot, challenging me to be, you know, like a better teammate, a better person, and not being so like closed in and so introvert and trying to, you know, use my voice to be able to guide my teammates, although I am a physical like leader.

Speaker 2 But just I Moki's seen a lot more in me than I've probably seen in myself. Those are the great people to be around and they want to see you be successful.

Speaker 2 So I would say that's how I knew like LSU is the pick for me.

Speaker 1 That's amazing. You want a coach that sees that in you and then, you know, you go get it.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So you like the transfer portal. I mean, obviously it worked out for you, but there's a lot of critique of it.
You know, do you think there needs to be a little regulation around it?

Speaker 2 I feel like being able to go to so many schools, I kind of feel like over time, it's going to kind of get a little messy.

Speaker 2 I do love the opportunity for us athletes, especially as women athletes, being able to make money very soon before having the opportunity to go pro because there aren't as many spots, you know, within the league.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 I would say my experience for the portal was great. So that's really all that I'm going to look at it from is, you know, my experience.

Speaker 2 I felt like I made the best decision for me and my family to be able to be successful, but also just be able to have fun at that, like the sport that I love.

Speaker 1 For sure. And especially at the collegiate level and college age, you know, you also mentioned Angel Reese was influential and you deciding to come.
There's very easy for me to say.

Speaker 1 There's some comparison there, comparisons there and how the tenacity and how y'all rebound. I mean, is that somebody that you look up to or, you know, just kind of admire her game?

Speaker 2 I would say that we always were competitive in practice, like all the time, to points where we was like going back and forth, you know, talking our talk.

Speaker 2 But I love Landa Brown you know like people like her like she's a dog and you know like you're you know what you're gonna get from her every night and I feel like that's great because for me like my biggest thing is to be that dependable teammate you know what you're gonna get from Anissa if not that you're getting more yeah and you know like you want your teammates to know that you know you want to go in and be reliable even if you're having a tough a tough game like what else can you do to help the team and I would say like that's one thing that she does if she's not able to get a board like she's making the the right passes passes to pass to her teammates and not being selfish on the floor, you know, being able to be that all-around player.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 What can people depend on Anissa to bring to the game every single time?

Speaker 2 Energy. I got a motor that's.
I'm blessed with. Honestly, I could run for time and time and time.
And

Speaker 2 I would just say energy. I feel like anytime I step on the floor, like the dynamic of the game changes in a positive manner.

Speaker 1 I'll get you out on this. A little fun because now you've left the college ranks.
You're a pro now. You know, we did the WNBA.

Speaker 1 You're heading into AU, but you're still looking back at your sisters and the girls now at LSU, who also had Milesia Fulwiley, by the way. So you guys just got stronger.

Speaker 1 You got Flage, you got Michaela.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 What are your expectations for your alma mater this year?

Speaker 2 I would say we want to go past, you know, Elite Eight. That was the goal for me trying to get to the final four.
So I would love to see them do better than, you know,

Speaker 2 I did when I was there. So final four and win that natty.

Speaker 1 What's the message you would give that team?

Speaker 2 I know that I just went to a practice and I was just telling them, yeah, I was just telling them like, y'all have to rebound. And they was like, oh, we know.

Speaker 2 You know what they're going to do without you?

Speaker 2 You gone. We know.

Speaker 2 It's the little things. Like, I feel like I just talked to them and told them, like, it's the little things.
You have to set good screens, hard screens, you know, like run the floor, just rebound.

Speaker 2 It's the basic things. It might be a little bit hard.

Speaker 1 It might be tough but like it's the extra the extra work that you put in the extra effort and i feel like this year they're going to be really good yeah yeah hands full in that sec yes well it has been a pleasure to get to know you and your journey and we it's honestly just getting started so i look forward to following you and also following the fits yes thank you so much it's a pleasure for having me and for everyone watching that'll do it for this episode of good follow show with anisa morrow coming to you live from nashville tennessee where athletes unlimited is around the

Speaker 1 Hey, what's up, guys? Welcome back to Good Follow Show. That was an awesome opportunity to talk with Anissa Murrow.
Great interview from her.

Speaker 1 And now, as we wrap up the show, I'm going to take you to our DraftKings pick of the week presented by DraftKings. Let's take it to college basketball while we're here.

Speaker 1 This week, I got my eye on the epic matchup between Southern Cal and South Carolina being held at crypto.com Arena, the battle for who is the real SC.

Speaker 1 All eyes are going to be watching the freshman Jazzy Davidson on USC. She recently called the game for the Trojans against NC State.

Speaker 1 And as a freshman, she's showing off her offensive and defensive skill in high basketball IQ.

Speaker 1 On the South Carolina side, I'll be keeping an eye on the senior Tanaya Ladson, who transferred in from Florida State.

Speaker 1 She's one of the best scoring guards in the nation point blank period i'm calling south carolina to come out on top here because i think experience matters having veteran players matter especially early in the non-conference schedule at this point of the year and when teams are meshing and they're figuring things out so the gamecocks i got them claiming the title of who's the real sc

Speaker 1 but you know making a splash right now people were wondering what happens to southern cal the trojans if juju watkins is out with the acl injury well they don't plan on falling off the map And Jazzy Davidson at 6'2 ⁇ , is long and can handle and can get to the cut.

Speaker 1 But I'm most impressed with her defense and the way that she was blocking shots and active on the ball. She's got quick feet, long arms, quick hands.

Speaker 1 She had 21 points, five blocks, four rebounds, four assists, four steals

Speaker 1 in the game against NC State where Southern Cal, the Trojans, they were the underdog. That's a huge win for them.
Also want to shout out London Jones off the bench, UCLA transfer. 19 points.

Speaker 1 She made four threes in the game. So we've got a top 10 matchup coming into this matchup, the battle for the real SC at Crypto.com Arena on Saturday.

Speaker 1 South Carolina, at the moment of taping this, sitting at the number two spot. And on the other side, it's the Gamecocks.
Last season made it all the way to the national championship game. Fell short.

Speaker 1 But at the start this season, they are ranked number two. We have a top 10 matchup coming up on Saturday from Crypto.com Arena with the Trojans.

Speaker 1 They moved all the way up to to number eight in the nation at the time of this taping. So all eyes will definitely be on that game, and so will the eyes of Good Follow.

Speaker 1 All right, guys, this segment is presented by DraftKings.

Speaker 2 DraftKings, the crown is yours.

Speaker 1 Thanks for pulling up with us this week. We'll see you next time.
