--Have Bluder6's teams sucked much? Sucked as in losing records?
That damn Connor!
Kidding, oc.
Welp, guess I'm a WNBA fan now 🤷♂️.
Go Fever! Who's on our team?

I’m just saying Iowa post CC22 will be taking a few beatings with no mercy by opposing teams after the beat downs Iowa has been giving out these last few years. I.e, I’m going to miss watching CC22 make opposing teams look bad so will miss this high level of play.
They may not suck but it will be payback by a lot of teams and be a very tough year For Iowa women BBall IMO.
CC going pro really puts a damper on my day as I was hoping for another year.
The WNBA doesn't have the "hoopla" that college basketball does. Interest takes a big hit and so does sponsorship as a result. The Fever crowds will surge for a little while and then dwindle back down once the initial thrill is gone although higher than what they were but nothing like the Clark Crazies in college arenas.
I agree with your summary for the most part. I have zero interest in the WNBA (nor NBA) other than watching clips of Iowa players.
Wise.
Another season would have been anticlimactic.
I'm afraid Clark fatigue would have become a factor.
She is going to be an assist machine playing with better players.

Former Hoosier Grace Berger is on the Fever and she’s not a Clark fan. Interested to see how the team dynamics play out.
Then teams like Minnesota and Rutgers, typical bottom feeders, need to play like they deserve to be in the B1G.
Minnesota's coach needs to look in the mirror.
Well, Fuerbach, McCabe, Hannah at forward sinking treys, a new center which might be the new recruit, Affolter.
I dont know about you but I think they can be a pretty good starting five. I like the way Fuerbach is shooting now, she is quick and plays pretty good defense, abd runs the floor well, and seems to handle the ball decently. McCabe can score, Affolter will take Kate Martin's spot as enforcer, haha, and do well. Hannah is very good.
Dont we have a highly rated center coming in at about 6' 4" so start her if she is the best we have.
This. I can't put an exact explanation on it (fewer teams in WNBA, second class to parent nba team, don't know) but I feel like Clark's star will fade a bit in the WNBA, through no fault of her own.
This is what you are worrying about or the first thing that comes to your mind? Berger is very good
I think that NIL and getting highend players deal wasn’t near as easy as our fans thiught it would be.
But not every “super star” wants to go play in college with someone who is an even bigger star than them…🤷♂️
If Fever mgmt sees a problem between Clark and Berger...which one do you think wins out?
I’d think a few of them would want to get paid while also winning a natty while getying fines from CC22. She would lift player profiles by being an assist machine first, scorer second.
Trade off is there are not a lot of Grace Berger fans out there. So there is that.
The right decision. A athlete like Caitlin needs to be at the highest level of competition. Nothing more to prove at this level except an NCAA championship and that honestly requires a more complete team than Iowa.
It‘s been amazing to watch her.

Told my no pic wife Tuesday during the PSU game that there might not be a lot of fans at the men’s game but things will change next year with CC22 gone. Some fans will move their game experience back to the men’s games.
It all depends how much national exposure she'll get playing for the, ummmm whatever Indiana's WNBA team is. At Iowa she plays on national TV nearly every game. That's a big deal to companies like Nike, State Farm, Bose, etc. I don't know that she'll lose any money by turning pro, but she probably would have made more by hanging around another year.
That said, good for her. She's got nothing left to prove by playing another year in college, and like others have said, it would have clouded her records.
I haven't watched WNBA since my team folded. Really looking forward to it. Go Fever! Hope they give her #22.
To cash in those receipts you need to be good enough to do something about it.
I would say that Grace might want to change her tune otherwise she will be looking for a new location.
She's great for the game. I agree for you. I have never watched an WNBA game. Maybe catch one when Clark is on.
Likely the right choice. As much as I'd love to see her be in a Hawkeye uniform one more time, she has nothing else to prove in college. Thanks for everything, Cait!
Please let the Lakers draft her.

At least Iowa WBB won't be subsidizing all the other conference teams in away games.
Looking at you Nebby, Minnesota, and the like.

Next year's team will be over .500 in conference.
