If she can bring in a 4/5 star PF or C with size to compliment Caitlin that team will be complete.Damn well deserved. How could someone justify not giving the C2 Rocket a roster spot. Whose a better scorer and passer on the roster?
This can only help Lisa recruit even more 4 and 5 star recruits to an already pretty highly team.
All of the games are going to be carried live on YouTube. First one is this Saturday at 1:30PM CDT against Italy. (All three pool play games occur in the early afternoon in Iowa, which is a nice change from the Olympics)

Will be nice to see her play. I just hope the play by play is in English. I tried to follow the warm up game against Spain but it was in Spanish and I'm not fluent so it was very hard to follow the action.All of the games are going to be carried live on YouTube.

Hopefully she makes some good money from NIL
I disagree, but we will see. She is one of the top 5 or so players in women’s basketball. She will have opportunities.Define "good money"? I can't imagine a female college basketball player is going to make much. Harsh, but the truth.

She seems to be a little out of sync. Her shot is not dropping, and shes maybe pressing a bit?(reposting this from the WBB 2021-2022 thread)
Here's the boxscore for today's U19 game.
USA leads 27-11 after Q1. Minutes being spread quite evenly amongst the whole roster thus far.
Clark, when she's in, seems to be playing the 2, or at least off the ball more than running the point. Quite a contrast from how we're used to seeing her play for us.
Not playing well today but also hasn't gotten a lot of minutes or many opportunities to touch the ball. She seems to be forcing her shot and shooting too quickly. Team USA does not seem to play very team oriented when on offense but they are winning because the defense has been spectacular and they've scored on fast breaks. Citron and Betts have scored the most points and both are fantastic players. Notre Dame is getting a fantastic player in Sonia CitronShe seems to be a little out of sync. Her shot is not dropping, and shes maybe pressing a bit?
Clark is much better when she has the ball in her hands reliably. That said, there are other players on this team that have better ball handles and play better defense. Clark is probably the best at passing the ball inside (maybe because she developed that playing with Monica), and when shes on shes a much better at looking for her shot.Hard to believe Clark not starting at point guard.
I watched most of the game, and only saw a couple of buckets. Did she score a bunch in a short stretch?Italy v USA boxscore - FIBA U19 Women's Basketball World Cup 2021 - 7 August - FIBA.basketball

Agreed she has one really nice interior feed where the player was fouled (so no assist). It was a pass only Clark could make. She hit her first three on a post kickout and that seemed to get her more in the flow. She did get into foul trouble, although some of the calls were suspect. There was a Technical in the 3rd that I think was called on Clark. Not sure who it was assessed to as the announcer did not explain and I didn't see anything. Coach Close seemed to laugh it off so I think she thought it was a pretty weak call too. Coach seemed to say don't worry about it. Also was called for a couple of charges that probably would have been blocking fouls in the college game.Clark is much better when she has the ball in her hands reliably.

I believe Diamond Johnson started at PG with Clark at the 2. Clark played more PG in the 2nd half, at least once the ball crossed half court. Sonia Citron (ND commit) played the majority of minutes at the PG coming off the bench and she is already an elite player. She was the best guard on the court as far as today's game.Hard to believe Clark not starting at point guard.
Agree with you about everything except that Tehina Pao Pao was the starting PG. Johnson and Citron shared PG duties once they came in. Given the depth at the PG position on this roster, it doesn't surprise me that Coach has Clark, with her height, playing predominantly as a wing / off guard.I believe Diamond Johnson started at PG with Clark at the 2.

Thanks for the correction. I wasn't paying attention to the starting lineup. I just remembered seeing Clark playing the 2. And I'm sure playing a new position also had some effect on the way Clark played today, particularly defensively. Her size is an advantage on the boards but it also can be to her detriment trying to defend the wing against stronger players. She was bull rushed a few times in the first half. She had good position but there wasn't much she could do. She has added muscle since the beginning of last season but she's still very slender and she's going to get pushed around when bigger players with more girth are bodying her up.Agree with you about everything except that Tehina Pao Pao was the starting PG.

Check your time stamps. The comment you are quoting was made after the first half during which Clark was 0-3 with 2 fouls.Not many opportunities to touch the ball yet took 13 shots...no one else took more than 7.

I can say for certain that you are a complete douchebag and that's definitely grounded in reality.Oh, I am sure he felt the same after the game as well. He is the one who said Clark is better than Bohannon. His takes are not based on any sort of reality or common sense.
I’m fairly certain it’s 20 points.
They corrected the box score to credit her with the 2 that she made in the 1st quarter.I’m fairly certain it’s 20 points.
