USC women’s college basketball star JuJu Watkins had an intriguing conversation with Paul George on “Podcast P with Paul George” recently. He praised her iconic high bun hairstyle, saying that it has the potential to start a new generational trend among girls. Watkins, however, had a comical response, saying that the bun is not just limited to girls and can be “handsome and cute” on men as well.
“Men en can wear buns too the bun can be ‘handsome and cute’,” Watkins said. “It’s co-ed.” (Timestamp: 4:20)
Watkins’ hairstyle has become somewhat of a mystery, with its origins dating to high school when her mom first introduced her to it.
“But ut it’s crazy to think about,” Watkins said. “I don’t know, just creating like a new kind of swag. It’s cool.”
Despite having the option to style her hair in various ways, Watkins has stuck with her iconic bun, which has even landed her a co-starring role in an AT&T commercial alongside NBA player Joel Embiid.
“I just think it looks good,” she said on the podcast. “So, I just wear it. 66 It’s been a thing since I’ve been doing it for a long time. My mom put me on.”
JuJu Watkins, hailing from Los Angeles, opted for USC over South Carolina and Stanford. She guided the Trojans to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament but lost to Connecticut.
Renowned NCAA player JuJu Watkins’ aspirations for the draft are postponed until 2027 due to age restrictions. Despite her breaking the NCAA Division I freshman scoring record, Watkins must wait until 2027 to fulfill the WNBA draft’s age prerequisite before becoming draft-eligible.
As per the criteria, athletes must reach 22 years of age by the draft year or complete a four-year university program. This age stipulation has been integral to the WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement since its establishment in 1999, encountering minimal resistance.
Chris Koclanes, an assistant coach at USC with experience in both the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun and LA Sparks, advocates for granting players the choice if they are prepared to pursue a WNBA career and prefer not to continue their education.
Reported by the Los Angeles Times, potential alterations to eligibility regulations in the league’s collective bargaining agreement, extending until 2027, may be on the horizon by 2026 if early negotiations occur.
