So many knee injuries in girls basketball and girls volleyball.

The knees cannot support excess weight in female athletes.

Men have more length and strength to absorb the shock.

One plus for the ladies is the lack of torque compared to the men.

Derrick Rose ruined his career with one too many violent stops on the hardwood.

Stay in school- nothing beats the college experience. Another year with your teamates, a chance to win an NCAA title, playing in front of 17k at Hawkeye Arena and sold out campuses. What is better than that. Nothing compares.

That shit league will still be around the following year. (If the NBA continues to fund it) You’ll still play in front of 5,000 people who got a free ticket with a 10 gallon gas purchase.

No brainer- go back for another year.

This might happen. Nut as I stated - her bf is a coach for the Pacers. Because of that I think she leaves and goes to the WNBA so she can be close to her bf. If they break up - now she might stay but I sense she leaves so they can be together.

The real money for woman in the pros is made in Europe. It far outdistances what can be made in the WNBA.

Not only that.....her endorsement money in Europe will be enormous as well.

She has done all she can do in Iowa. Time to cash in.

Fever will be a fun watch with Boston inside and Clark shooting from 30 ft out

I'm excited for the upcoming wnba season to see who can challenge the aces

"Clark’s jerseys and shirts bearing her name are flying off the (virtual) shelves at Fanatics, with the guard becoming the online retailer’s top-selling college athlete since it began selling collegiate athletic apparel in 2022"...

Caitlin Clark's seemingly unlimited range will help her adjust to life in the WNBA.

That's what Sue Bird says.

Makes sense.

My initial thought: I'll probably be betting against Clark's team when facing teams with tough-minded lockdown defenders like Natasha Cloud or Betnijah Laney.

If all goes right for Caitlin Clark, she could compete at the Final Four in April and debut in the WNBA in May.

Like any shooter, they can keep you in the game or shoot you out, Caitlin shot them out of the game last night v. Indiana.

You know the ncaa is going to give iowa a walk to the final 4

Watch lsu and south Carolina to be on the same side of the bracket so iowa doesn't have to beat both of them.

It would be a ratings disaster if clark didn't make the final four

I have seen a bracket where Colorado is in the same one as Iowa. I will admit I am biased because I hold a 66-1 ticket on the Buffs - but Colorado Beats Iowa (if they meet) and I am 100% sure of it. The books will make Iowa a slight fave and even though I have my play on the Buffs I will ML Colorado...............the only question is: Will the Buffs make it that far.

CLARK more than just scoring.......................think about this, CLARK averages a mere half point a game more than PLUM in career and 10,000x more well known.

----------------------------------

Woodard averaged about 3 assists a game.

-----------------------------------

THREE things set CLARK apart from both and it's not PTS PER GAME.........................

1. CLARK LONG RANGE SHOOTING
2. ASSISTS coupled with scoring
3. Her personality traits


HER EASE OF SHOOTING BOMBS #1 reason led to popularity.............followed by assists/PTS/personality.
This week, I spent an outrageous amount of money to see you in person with my 5-year-old daughter. You were electric as usual and we jumped and danced and cheered. At one point, my daughter leaned over to me and said, "She hits that shot in the game because she works on it a lot in practice, right daddy!" It was worth every penny. You even graciously stuck around and signed our jersey and literally hundreds of others at the end of the game.

I said, "Thank you! You are amazing!" I wanted to say so much more, but there were hundreds of other little girls with their moms and dads waiting to see you.

Allow me to try one more time now that the throngs of adoring fans are gone....................

Dear Caitlin Clark,

If you read this, I want to say thank you.

Thank you for being an electrifying, transcendent athlete who is actively changing the world of sport. But mostly, thank you for helping me be a better dad.

Iowa marked the spot on the court where she broke the record...the other day her teammates tried to make that 30 ft shot. Most couldn't hit the rim. 😆

Let's also acknowledge one other thing: She is a rather attractive looking woman - who is dating a man - not another woman.

Do not discount this aspect.

So a NCAAWB player needs a police escort to the locker room after a halftime interview? That's Clarksanity!

Nice to put Pistol Pete back in the limelight but Pete didn't have a 3 point line but breaking his record makes
good ratings.

What's interesting about these prolific scorers coming out of high school and leading the nation in scoring, are
white. They don't make a big impact in college, going to smaller schools, but 80 percent are white (men/woman).

There's no doubt in my mind Iowa's game on Fox gets higher ratings than the NBA on ABC. And it won't be close.

You would think the announcers for the game would say Caitlin is in the conversation for best college alltime.

Nope without hesitation Taurasi for one, Miller for the other......lol

Clark's record might be short lived. Ju Ju Watkins of USC is averaging 26.2 as a freshman. And one thing she has over Caitlin is turn of foot. She quick.
