Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

The big thing that gets me is so many people act like talking about her = talking about women's basketball and that is not the case. I mean hell, 2GNC this week talked about her and Bluder for 15 minutes and never once mentioned the score or any other players for either team. Showing a highlight package of her making shots isn't talking about women's basketball, it's talking about one person. It's a stark contrast once you start looking from what they are saying to what they aren't, and most of the time (not all), it's only one player. When she's gone the conversation is going to be gone too. It's not growing the game.

Contrast that with one of the Williams and Blum pods this week where they actually talked through how they were doubling Audi and going through the growing pains on the court and scouting. That is actually talking about women's basketball.
It's like US soccer during every world cup. People go nuts...and then it's gone.

He might as well burn it at the end of the season if CC doesn’t come back…. Iowa WBB will go back to being irrelevant and a couple thousand fans at games again like several years ago. He’ll likely never wear the thing again.

Ask him if the bandwagon dropped him off on the street or at the door.

Agree attendance will go way down, but sounds like we do have really good recruits coming in.

I wouldn't be surprised if they can stick around in the fringe top-25 level, but do you really see anywhere near the coverage once they're back to that level? I'm sure next year/maybe the one after that all we'll hear is how much different they were with Caitlin, but after that? Crickets, like it was before CC.
 
What is the over under on the number of times in the next 24 hours that Murph "rubs one off?"
Murph's been humming this tune all day so far!!
