Caitlin Clark

[Stryker]

The best player on South Carolina, Aliyah Boston, said many times - including a couple times in interviews just last night -
that she was contemplating returning to South Carolina next year, and that she was going to go home and discuss it with
her family. Then, just a couple hours later, she declared for the WNBA Draft, even tho she's already said to be making several hundred thousand $ in NIL deals.- https://www.espn.com/womens-college-...res-wnba-draft

Yeah guess I just don't know enough about the WNBA and the players to make an educated guess on their earnings potential etc.

As an Iowa grad it's been a blast to watch Clark and the women's team. She's a joy to watch, but what I might enjoy even more is watching how the team interacts with each other on and off the court. They clearly love playing together and are an extremely tight group. In this day where everyone seems to transfer at the first sign of adversity it's fun to see a team that truly enjoys the team they are on and the university where they go to school. That's a huge credit to their coach (UNI grad and former coach at St. Ambrose) Lisa Bluder. A lot of coaches talk about "culture" but she's really built one. Other than Clark, Iowa isn't in the same league as South Carolina talent-wise but they are really well connected as a group. I just wish the mens team had the same culture. Of course it doesn't hurt to have the best player in the country on your team either.

This has been one of the worst officiated games I’ve seen, makes Valley officials seem good.

That technical foul call on Clark was terrible. Should have been no call, and at worst, a delay of game warning. A total of 30 personal fouls called so far, and 4 fouls each on Iowa's three best players and top scorers.

Amen to that. Not sure I’ll ever complain about valley refs again! This is pathetic.

Idk, I've only heard of two WNBA players, ever. Candace Parker because she could dunk and I knew who her brother was of course, and Brittany Griner for her Russia issues. I think it is debatable on what is higher profile, University of Iowa and a perennial NCAA title contender, or another good player in the WNBA. I think being in the NCAA might actually be a higher profile, especially if she is already getting shoe deals etc. Instagram/influencer income is also probably greater.

Really? only 2? I've honestly never watched a full WNBA game or even more than 5 minutes of a game at a time, but I bet I could name at least 20 WNBA players just from hearing names watching other sports. Now as far as what they make/earnings are I have no idea. Not poking fun at you at all Stryker, that just struck me as funny, only 2 players EVER. ha ha

[Fetz86]

I don't know if I could name more than two active players, I think everyone I knew of is retired now.

[Old Coach]

Oh no, probably not her whole game, but more her shot is what I was referring too. I think that shot release would play. It is very quick if she was open at all as a spot up shooter.

She is an awesome women's college basketball player. Maybe the greatest of all-time. The Pete Maravich of women's college basketball. That said, I just don't think the women's game transfers to the men's game at any level.
