Last Thursday Caitlin Clark announced she will skip her final year of elegibility and head straight to the WNBA a decision that obviously ignited the league owners. Fans have sold out EVERY IOWA GAME for weeks at home AND away games for those seeking a peek at history.
NEVER have we seen a women’s player with such a complete game. Caitlin Clark can not only score but she ranks in the top five women in assists and averages several rebounds each game. She is the complete player.
But what she is really known for is her halfcourt logo shots – something you will not see from any woman in the game today.
And noted celebrities frequently visit Iowa to watch Caitlin play. Today rapper Travis Scott showed up in Iowa City.
