I really hope Clarks declares after this year because her and Boston will be fun to watch.
I really enjoyed that interview between the two with the Swifties bracelets. Indiana would be perfect for her geographically and her and Boston would elevate that franchise for sure.I really hope Clarks declares after this year because her and Boston will be fun to watch.
Nope, but I did find myThe ESPN Mock Draft for women's basketball is out and I love the TOP 5:
#1 Catlin Clark...Indiana Fever
"Iowa is selling out home and away games; tickets are going for big bucks on the secondary market; and the cereal named after Clark sold out almost immediately in Iowa grocery stores. (Now it's being sold on eBay.) Analyst Debbie Antonelli refers to the Iowa star's impact as "Clarkonomics," and the Fever would love to be part of it. Clark is averaging 31.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 7.7 assists."
#2 Cameron Brink...LA Fever (imo, this girl could be a model, best looking girl in the draft)
#3 Paige Bueckers...Phoenix Mercury (ESPN thinks she stays at UCONN) HUM????
#4 Kamilla Cardosa...Seattle Storm..
"The Storm are trying to retool around star guard Jewell Loyd. Seattle's biggest need, admittedly, is point guard, although that might be addressed in free agency. Even if it isn't, Cardoso's size, strength, defensive prowess and potential make her hard to pass up. She's averaging 13.1 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.9 blocks for the undefeated No. 1 Gamecocks. GO KAMILLA, make us proud!!!!
#5 Rickea Jackson...Dallas Wings Interesting, what do y'all think of this?
I personally like Edwards from UCONN as the #5 pick....I think Rickea has been hot/cold for UT...
Lastly, has anyone seen Catlin's Cereal. I would love to order a box but I want an autograph to go with it so if Carolina and Iowa play again, I might show up with my box of Cereal and hope to get an autograph
Clark got clocked
Clark got clocked
I'm going with a flopLooked like a charge to me
She flopped. Always looking for the call.Completely inadvertent.
The person with whom she collided wasn't even looking at her.She flopped. Always looking for the call.
Clark got clocked
Great game by Eniya Russell who scored 20Speaking of flops….
Presently Bama is flopping to Aubie
and Mizzou is losing to UK
Bird was a great guard overall and Ionescu was an incredible shooter. I do believe Clark is the most explosive and dynamic offensive player we have seen to date. She and her team taking down one of the greatest women's basketball teams of all time in last year's Final Four only added to her lore. We are largely to blame for her phenomenal public profile.It seems like some posters do not remember Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore, Ionescu, Plum etc. WBB has always had generational talent. The difference with Clark is media hype. Do not forget those who made her possible

She went full MJ in the 4th. Had a bad turnover late, but she redeem herself. Like I stated before our game, I don't understand why she doesn't play more, considering UK's overall lack of talent.Great game by Eniya Russell who scored 20
It was our inability to hit shots that lost that game, not our defense regardless of how many points she had. Holding them into the 70s gave us the chance to win. Just couldn't hit shots. We most certainly fixed that this season which has me giddy.Bird was a great guard overall and Ionescu was an incredible shooter.

simp harderCatlin has rings.
She's got plenty of rings, medals, awards. Reese will be an after thought in the years to come. Clarks fame will last for all time.

100%. We held them to less points than LSU did. Offense was the issue. 3 of our 5 starters scored 1 bucket between them. One.It was our inability to hit shots that lost that game, not our defense regardless of how many points she had. Holding them into the 70s gave us the chance to win. Just couldn't hit shots. We most certainly fixed that this season which has me giddy.![]()
You can love Clark all you want, I like her and thinks she's great/fun to watch. Even said in a post earlier I hope her and Boston become teammates. BUT.. dude this is a Gamecock thread (yeah yeah you started it) and all you do is talk up Clark or bring up race half the time. Either you're being unaware or trolling at this point. WE all get it, Clark is a generational talent, and has proved that in terms of her abilities on the court with her play.And Carolina had how many drafted in the WNBA that year? How many did IOWA?
Excuses, Excuses....Catlin was the superstar of that game...that's why she is where she is with American college basketball fans, and media.
That's a little jingoistic for an otherwise well-informed person. You know that her supporting cast doesn't measure up to what would be available if she were elsewhere. And did I even say "greatest"?
All the public at large will remember is that she had 41 points and they were the team to beat us. That's all that will ever matter.It was our inability to hit shots that lost that game, not our defense regardless of how many points she had. Holding them into the 70s gave us the chance to win. Just couldn't hit shots. We most certainly fixed that this season which has me giddy.![]()
“Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.”Catlin has rings. But what does a ring have to do with being the greatest?
She's got plenty of rings, medals, awards. Reese will be an after thought in the years to come. Clarks fame will last for all time.

Lets be honest. Said person deserved that response.That's a little jingoistic for an otherwise well-informed person. You know that jer supporting cast doesn't measure up to what would be available if she were elsewhere.
What else does she have to do?“Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.”
— John Wooden
According to Wooden, Clark has some work to do.
God did his part. Work on the other two with humility.What else does she have to do?
Concussion is the rumorWhat’s going on with Janiah Barker? Saw she’s not starting.
