“While we've seen incredible scorers -- Lynette Woodard, Kelsey Plum, Maya Moore, Jackie Stiles, Brittney Griner -- we've NEVER seen a woman play like this…”
- Rebecca Lobo [Former WNBA Player (1997-2003) and Basketball Analyst] After scoring 18 points during the March 3rd game against the No. 2 Ohio State- the No. 6 Iowa Hawkeyes Point Guard, Caitlin Clark, officially surpassed the record previously held by LSU’s “Pistol Pete” Maravich. Last week, the senior guard also broke a pre-NCAA scoring record set by Lynette Woodard for women’s major college basketball and announced her intention to enter the 2024 WNBA draft, where she’s expected to be the No. 1 overall pick. Caitlin has been breaking records and making a name for herself since she was a kid. She has won three gold medals with the United States, including two at the FIBA UNDER-19 Women’s World Cup. After which, in 2021, Caitlin was named Most Valuable Player. She is widely considered a “generational talent” and is credited with raising national interest in women's basketball during her college career, referred to as the "Caitlin Clark effect." ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo has called her the best offensive women's college player since Diana Taurasi. The 2024 WNBA Draft happens on Monday, April 15 at the famed Brooklyn Academy of Music, where Caitlin is expected to be the number one draft pick and selected by the WNBA’s Indiana Fever. We look forward to seeing what other records she can break and the evolution of her effect on women’s basketball in the years to come. - Contributed by Tiffany Grand The Blog Tags Widget will appear here on the published site.
