from the article:

Bueckers, who became the first freshman in women's college basketball history to win the John Wooden Award and be named the Associated Press Player of the Year and the Naismith College Player of the Year, has filed for a trademark on her nickname, "Paige Buckets," according to a document from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

The trademark filing, which was first reported by the New Haven Register, was made on July 13, about two weeks after the NCAA approved the clearance. Buecker's filing includes future revenue from athletic apparel, namely, shirts, pants, jackets, footwear, hats and caps and athletic uniforms.

Bueckers filed for the trademark using a Los Angeles address that's associated with the Wasserman Media Group, and the Wall Street Journal reported that she will be represented by agent Lindsay Kagawa Colas.

In that same story, the newspaper reported that Bueckers could have earning potential over $1 million, which Bueckers wrote was "a big number for a small town kid."

For someone that grew up in a town of 700, its crazy to see someone that lives in a decent sized suburb 5 minutes from downtown Minneapolis calling themselves a small town kid.
