Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

Probably? Something along those lines. I would imagine her max is probably similar to a JV player or maybe at best a varsity high school player. I could be wrong but I would be a little surprised.

And again its no knock on her. Division 1 athletes - male and female - are not "normal" people. There's nothing normal about being 6+ and 210+ and running and hitting like they do, let alone the ones who are 6'5, 320 and can move. Or in a basketball since, there is absolutely nothing "normal" about the 6'6 small forward who can run and dunk etc

She wouldn't be competing against some average 22 year old dude just off his parent's couch. That's the part people seem to forget when they say she could compete against the men's team. These guys are training and are athletes also

Do they even test women basketball players in any of that stuff? 40? Agility? Vertical? Clean?
 
I'll call my shot:

Hokeye WBB will finish in the bottom half of the Big 10 and the crowds at Carver by the end of the season will match the crowds for Hokeye MBB games at Carver.
 
Re: the comments of CC complaining to the refs and the coaches telling her to stop, I don't see this happening. She has been doing it for years. I never watched her in high school, but I have heard horror stories of stuff she did. I understand she is an elite athlete, however to act the way she acts, to me, would be embarrassing.
Her constant complaining and yelling at officials is gross. Every once in a while I'll watch a few minutes of her if on TV and sure enough she does it somehow someway. Then you have Hawk fans that cannot believe she got a Tech in the national title game "for nothing". Yeah.....it was probably a build up of her non stop BS that the official was finally sick of it.
 
So all the local shows today have had their own little segment on Clark and why we should all be in awe of what she’s doing. No doubt attendance and ratings for her games are up but it’s not really spreading out.

They keep harping she’s growing the game but womens basketball participation is dropping in favor of volleyball. Which had a very good finals.

Trying to phrase this in a way I don’t get likes from the darkside. If Clark broke her leg tomorrow I wouldn't care less.. That said nitpicking an AA is embarrassing for our fanbase.

Actually, at the high school level, the creation of girl's wrestling is really hitting the HS girl's basketball participation hard. Numbers have dropped considerably as many girls just want to try something new.

Is it growing nationally or just in Iowa? Like I know girls hockey is growing in Minnesota.

I know it’ll never happen but they should honestly lower the rims to 9’6 or 9 foot. I think the game would be way more entertaining. The average womens big is a guard in the mens game.

This segment by Murphy last night was downright embarrassing.


The 3 biggest needle movers: Jordan, Tiger, and Caitlin? Come on now.

They kind of talked about this on the radio show today, I wanted to call in but I knew they won’t take it.

Okay. Tiger and golf. His impact on the game and what he did from about a decade to start his career literally changed the sport of golf. The amount of new golf course, CC memberships and merch sales went up so much and it was practically all because of tiger. I remember as a kid hearing my dad say he’s big into golf because of Tiger.

MJ. I mean, it was before I was alive but his name will live on for a long, long time.
 
I think most of the nation doesn’t know or doesn’t care who she is. I understand Iowa media hyping her up but there’s a limit. At least Williams pointed out she’s a hot head on a podcast. It’s like everyone avoids the topic and Hok fans deny it completely.
 
2GNC again slathered on the love for Clark today. I finally figured out the player comp I was trying to think of. Allen Iverson.

Clark is a talented basketball player. As an Iowa State fan I can admit that. However, just like AI, she's selfish AF and from everything I've seen not someone I'd want on my team.

She's going to finish like top 5 all time in assists.
