    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    It'll be interesting to see if they hand it off to Jensen or try to bring Baranczyk home. I would definitely go for Baranczyk but could see them feeling like the owe Jensen because she's passed up head coaching jobs to stay. Assuming she even wants to be a head coach which she might not.

    She says she was.

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    Probably depends on the school. Iowa has some basketball history and I think wants to be good in it to some extent (and always had pretty solid fan and booster support but nothing like it is now). I don't think the program was like a super high priority though, especially once they stopped...

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    Depending on who you ask in here she doesn't have that now but she made her first two sweet 16s and first elite 8 before Clark was there (first sweet 16 was also before Gustafson). But yes obviously that helps a lot. She still had to recruit her to Iowa which wasn't always easy with top in...

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    I think what he means is that she didn't make it out of the second weekend until her 15th season at Iowa (and 25th as a D1 head coach). A lot of schools would probably lose patience with that eventually but Iowa didn't and she's rewarded them and made 3 sweet sixteens in the last 5 years and...

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    Fair enough, I'll stand corrected. I wish there were better stat records for women's players, hopefully we're getting there soon. Anyway even then she's second all time in points per game and the best scorer of the of the last thirty+ years. Not much of a stretch to say she's the best...

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/leaders/women/pts-per-g-player-career.html Maybe there was someone who played before sports reference has numbers for but this is what I was going off of. Either way she's likely to finish next year with the overall scoring record and way more assists than...

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    She's got the highest scoring average of all time. By the end of next year will probably have the all time record for points and be like top 5 all time for assists. Cannot imagine someone is doing that again anytime soon.

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    Yeah some of those live dribble passes she throws to the opposite corner on an absolute rope are stuff you just almost never see in women's basketball outside of a handful of WNBA players. And even in men's basketball it's relatively rare. Really think she's one of the handful of best passers...

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    I just think this stuff tends to work itself out if you really want it too, there's usually some attrition and I imagine they could kinda gently nudge some folks who are unlikely to ever played out the door if they really wanted to ("you are welcome to stay but if you want to play it likely...

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    Yeah I expect she will be good eventually, she was a pretty big recruit and was conference sixth woman of the year as a freshman. Good athlete and she plays hard. She's always the first one up the court seemingly, she got a ton of buckets from just outrunning everyone and getting a long pass...

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    The other women's games have done well this year too. Interest in the sport generally is way up. The Iowa/SC game will be the highest rated one probably but I'd expect the title game and the other FF game to do solid numbers Anyway this doesn't have anything to do with them talking about the...

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    Why would she make more in endorsements in a less popular league where she likely won't be as dominant? And again she literally is not eligible to turn pro after this year Czinano is done after this year this was her COVID year, she's a year ahead of the other three non-clark starters...

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    I am aware that they are a minor league baseball team yes. Do you really think that is of comparable local interest to a final four?

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    The bigger ones probably will sure but she's a lot more valuable to those companies as a college player than she is as a pro player, women's college basketball is a lot more popular. All of those companies are going to want her to stay as long as she can.

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    Did Des Moines get a major league team while I wasn't paying attention? Local sports radio here is always going to prioritize college when there's a big story in one of the major sports. This is the biggest sports story in the state right now they're gonna talk about it. It's not a bias thing

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    She doesn't really have a choice for next year she's not eligible for the WNBA draft because she's not 22 and her original class doesn't graduate until next year. You can only leave early if you're old for your class or you took a redshirt year. The question would be if she does the extra...

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    It's a local show, they're the only local team still playing, and she just won an award for best player in the country and was arguably the biggest national story of the weekend games man or woman. What are they supposed to talk about?

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    She has about 30% of the teams FGAs on the year. For comparison Joens had 25% of ISU's but with an assist rate that's like four times lower. Dunno feel like playing with the elite passer who gets you tons of easy shots is probably fun

    The On3 numbers aren't actual reporting they're just estimates from On3's NIL algorithm which is complete junk. It's mostly based on social media followers iirc. Even before the recent national deals it was generally reported that she was in the 7 figure range, I would it assume it's higher...
