I played a little college basketball back in the day. Actually sat the bench mostly, lol. But I love college BB. This girl....she's money. Cold blooded. I'm a fan.

Watched the past few games, her range is ridiculous, she is hitting 3 pointers from the court logos, not many NBA players could hit from there regularly like she does and the big difference from the NBA is they are actually playing defense against her and she is still hitting everything.

I don't like her as a player, just like I didn't have an affinity to Bird.  Doesn't take away from the player she is now.  I  wish her no ill will, but hope she learns some humility, just to be an example.

Basketball players are different.  Name one all time great basketball player outside of Tim Duncan who was completely humble.

Women are different. They're not supposed to have swagger like us. Or opinions. It's damned off-putting.

I'm not sure that's what BigAl meant, but yeah some dudes think this way. Swag is one thing, but Clark sometimes doesn't come across well to what I think is BigAl's point. I don't care personally, she's a hell of a basketball player.

Yeah, there are a lot of athletes that I don't care for their game presence.  She happens to fall in that category, and I'm a Cyclone fan on top of it.  Great player just not a fan.

One of the best college basketball players I have ever seen, man or woman. Her basketball IQ is off the charts. Everyone knows she's a great scorer but she's also great at feeding her teammates and rebounding. 

The swagger comes with the territory and you see it with so many great athletes.

Yeah, I didn't mean to suggest Al's a misogynist. I meant it in a joking way. Probably should've just used a GIF.

She is the most compelling player in college basketball. She is more than enough reason to go watch Iowa play.

I hadn’t heard this, but she can also take a COVID year of eligibility if she’d like and come back to play next year. So at that point, assuming she stays healthy, she’d obliterate the record and likely post something that’ll never be broken. Factor in NIL $ that’ll be comparable to WNBA bucks, I gotta think she’ll be back at Iowa next year. Impressive player.

She can take a 5th year and would be crazy not too. Going to the WNBA would take her out of the spotlight. It also pays nothing. As a top 4 pick she’d make like $72k a year. She’d keep NIL amd they would turn into endorsements, but since the WNBA would redice her exposure, will she keep them? 

She should return and will probably get a $1 million in NIL. She’ll probably see more commercials too.

She will be done with the college game after this season.  Iowa doesn't have a roster spot for her next season unless somebody leaves the program.  She is already making more than $1 million in NIL money and her endorsements will likely follow her to the WNBA.  Also if she goes #1 to Indiana it puts her in the same city that her boyfriend is who works for the Pacers.

Not saying you’re wrong but no roster spot can’t possibly be an excuse. She’s the reason they sell out every game and also the main reason they win games. Surely some walk-on can get moved to a grad assistant role or whatever to make room for quite possibly the goat women’s CBB player. If not she should transfer to a school with common sense.

there is always the transfer portal... I wonder how much NIL money some bigger schools could generate for her if she transferred for her final year?

Sydney Sweeney.  Late to the game seeing her in film, only just saw her first in "Anybody but You" with Glen Powell.  Not glamorous in the classical way, but more of a girl next door way.  And pretty well put together.  Oh, you already said that.

She’s WNBA-bound! I’m kind of surprised but good for her. Good for the WNBA too I imagine.
