The user speculated that Reese could've convinced the Sky to sign Morris if not for her behavior. Morris shared the X post on Saturday and responded, alluding to unresolved tension.
"Truth is, most of y’all have no idea who the real snakes were/are. It was easy to paint me as the bad guy because of my history with Kim. lol it was easy to make me the scapegoat. But I stood on my own ten. Never played victim. Never folded. Carry on…" she wrote.Morris revealed that her strained relationship with former LSU coach Kim Mulkey led to her being used as a scapegoat to protect others. However, she refrained from naming any of her former teammates or members of the coaching staff.
