“Clark with another three!” “Number 22, Caitlyn Clark for the win…IT’S GOOD!!!” Caitlyn Clark is a women's college basketball player who is taking over women's basketball HISTORY. Also the one with whopping NIL deals, NBA level average PPG. Did you know she is possibly coming to Indiana Fever (WNBA) We all know her. If you didn't do well you will after reading this article.
Clark is doing a three point celebration in this picture.
Clark when she is young.
Clark attended Dowling Catholic High School in her hometown of West Des Moines, Iowa. "I didn't get to wear (22) in high school because Dowling always wore odd numbers," Clark said. She grew up with her parents, Brent Clark and Anne Nizzi-Clark, and her brothers, Blake and Colin. She “started” basketball at age 5 and played with boys because they couldn’t find a league for her. She is studying marketing and leadership as a senior for the hawkeyes. Here is what Amos Mobley has to say about Clark, “I think she is the best in the big 10 by a longshot. She is good at shooting, defense, and rebounds.
Caitlin Clark could be going to Indiana Fever! Here is what Ezra Grile has to say about her coming, “I would like her to go to the Fever. She has potential to be one of the best.” While she has not announced her future plans she'll have two days after Iowa's final game this season to decide if she wants to go to Indiana or stay for her fifth year. While us in Indiana really hope she comes to the Fever, she is earning around $3 million as of 2023 in the WNBA she will make a lot less than that.

The video of Angel and Caitlin.
Clark is currently fourth on the all-time women's college basketball scoring list with 3,389 career points and appears to be on track to break Plum's record by the middle of February, if she keeps at her current pace of 32.0 PPG this season. Speaking of her PPG at 32 and when Michael Jordan was in college his PPG was 17.7. LeBron James is averaging 25 PPG. That's a le-fail. Here is what Ty Wadsworth has to say about Clark, “I do like Caitlin because she is a good shooter. But she doesn’t have great sportsmanship.” She is a great player but is known for some inconvenient things like trash talking. Clark does a lot of John Cena “You can’t see me,” taunts during games but in the final game of the NCAA tournament angel reese before LSU turned into champs gave her a taste of her own medicine and did the same thing back to her.
There are so many more things to talk about with this heck of a player. She can and will accomplish so many more things in her career and we can’t wait to see what she does with her skills. Watch the video to see Angel Reese doing the "you can't see me" to Caitlin and fill out the form.
