I never met Caitlin Clark, but I'm definitely happy for her success, and wish her well in her basketball career. She's exciting to watch, and has finally made women's college basketball worth watching more this season.

So nice to see a dominant player in any sport who doesn't need to be a diva as well, and who isn't constantly craving attention and "look at me" moments. She's a humble superstar, and doesn't feel the need to constantly run her be a victim. Good for her.

Read into that what you want. I don't come back and revisit my answers, so I don't care.

Absolute GOAT! 🐐. The arguments are OVER!

[wesleyhall]

I think she's a great young lady. Handles things very well.

Caitlin is so deserving of these features!! An incredible basketball player changing the game, but also an amazing role model doing it all the right way! Go Hawks! 🖤💛🖤

One small correction, the Kinnick stadium game was a pre-season exhibition against DePaul.

[kenaldri]

Those aren't threes she's shooting. Those are fours.

The other story in this is coach bluder. The woman has been in Iowa City for twenty four years. Perseverance!

The greatest female hooper of all time

[maytaurus]

I really need Caitlin Clark documentary 😍

[johnanderson]

Does all the right things, says all the right things, perfect social graces - another Joe DiMaggio.

[jennahawk]

So her NIL evaluation was over $800, 000. Does anyone else think that's low? Look at the college football players . . . I mean. I still gender i equality is at play here. She's simply the biggest star in college sports. She's worthy of millions. Sponsors need to step up.

Caitlin Clark college records are as follows: 28.5 points per game, 7.3 rebounds per game, FG % 46.4 per game. Larry Bird 30.3 points per game, 13.3 rebounds per game, 53.3 FG%. Bird was a better scorer, a better rebounder and his field goal percentage of 53.3 was astounding!

[recifebra]

She had 35 points, not 49. But she had 9 assists and 6 boards as well!

[urex]

There is no question that the level of talent that Caitlin faces in each game far surpasses the level of talent faced by any other player in the goat conversation. The fact that she is white ruffles lots of feathers but facts are facts and some birds are just plain dumb.

[vinnymac]

With Indiana having the first pick, thr story seems to be writing itself.

[RedPanda]

She will be the Jordan of woman’s basketball
