She has two years of eligibility, but I don’t think she’ll be at Iowa beyond the 23/24 season.

She should have won it last year as well. And maybe the year before.
It's pretty funny the ceremony looks like it was held in the hallway of a hotel conference room. Or maybe it was I don't know.
So to keep up trends which Iowa men's player is gonna win the Naismith in 2025? And will Hannah Stuelke win it as a fifth-year senior in 2027?

Well deserved and the only truly obvious choice. She is the greatest players we've ever had in any sport since I've been watching. Certainly, at least, the most dominant presence that I can think of.
Except we know the guy will receive it CHA since they give it out after the first two days of the tournament.
Especially since there are some on here who say elite players can't be recruited to Iowa.So, since 2019, Iowa has had 2 womens POY and 1 Men's. Not bad for poor little old Iowa.
Pleasantly surprised. Well deserved, and hard earned! Congrats CC! Now go win some more hardware!!!!
This may sound moronic, but I only want her to play four years.
If she plays 5, all the records she breaks people will always have the "well she played 5 years" excuse.
Paige Bueckers - Natl Champ
Aliegha Boston - Natl Champ
See the trend? Not based on bility but what your team does.
Caitlyn Clark- Natl Champ??
N
No doubt. Love the old style flying Hawkeye.....
Not if she breaks them all next season.....
She currently has Nike, Buick, Topps trading cards, H&R Block and Hy-Vee. I am probably missing 1...or 2....
This is great.
Clark added AP Player of the Year honors this morning, too.
New day, new award -- same great Caitlin Clark. A day after receiving Naismith Player of the Year honors, Iowa's Caitlin Clark was named the AP Player of the Year on Thursday. She received 20 votes from a 28-member panel in a vote that was conducted before the NCAA Tournament began.
Clark, a junior guard from West Des Moines, Iowa, averaged 27.3 points per game, third-best in D-I, while also leading the nation in assists per game (8.6) and three-pointers made per game (3.5). She's the first Division I women's basketball player to ever score 900+ points and distribute 300+ assists in the same season; her 984 points are sixth-most all time Division I history (and 17 shy of Megan Gustafson's Iowa single-season record of 1001 points) and her 311 assists is a Big Ten single-season record.
Clark is the second Iowa women's player to earn AP Player of the Year honors after center Megan Gustafson also received the honor in 2019. Clark and Gustafson are also the only Big Ten players to win the award since its inception in 1995.

I'm a sucker for that logo. If I see it, I have to buy it.
Is the "being" on top modeled after the alien in annihilation? I can't seem to find anything about why it looks the way it does.
4 more to go: USBWA, Wade, Wooden and Honda (oldest). No BIG player has ever won the Wooden (only given since 2004).
If the same schedule is followed as last year, Wade and USBWA will be announced today or tomorrow.

When was this video filmed? Seems like it must have been at least a week ago because the team has been in Seattle and not Dallas this whole time. I didn't realize that the coaches and players are informed who won the award so long before the public. Honestly surprised we don't hear about the results being leaked more frequently.
It must be similar to when they win the Bachelor/Bachelorette and they can't say anything until after the season finale 😉 Sorry, I have no idea when this was but I'm glad they found out before this trip as I feel this kind of thing happening every day leading up to the game can be distracting for CC and company in not a great way. Not saying they can't handle it though. Go Hawks!
We all know who has class.Super casual now adays. Check out Dawn Staley, to CC's left! LOL
I'm so proud to be a Hawkeye. Caitlin and her teammates, coaches and fans are the greatest. Win, lose or draw we Hawkeyes are winners to have a team like this.
this is great.
and I guess i am confused. this seems to have been announced to CC, the coaches, team, family, etc before the NCAA tournament even began and it was officially announced today?
@RossWB , do you know?
Ap player of the year and Naismith award must be two different awards. The only thing I can think of.
it's interesting, too, that D1 women's basketball did not start until the 1981-1982 season. 41 years. That's it.
Certainly South Carolina would remember that that players and coaches find out a week-ish early about AP POY, so they already knew that Boston didn't get it this year.
We started attending Iowa women's basketball under its first coach Lark Birdsong (1974-79) tho' probably not the first year or two. Here's some background info on how the NCAA took over women's sports from AIAW.. Iowa's Christine Grant was a founding member of the AIAW. https://andscape.com/features/forty-years-later-the-ncaas-takeover-from-the-aiaw-still-isnt-perfect/
How Christine Grant Changed the Game
On the 50th anniversary of Title IX, the University of Iowa celebrates the legacy of the athletics administrator who helped level the playing field nationally and sparked a women's sports revolution.

Outstanding and well deserved. Maybe Lisa is right, and this IS Iowa's destiny. WE'll all find out Friday night. GO HAWKS!!!
One consequence of the NCAA takeover is all but writing the early legends out of the record book. Franisdaman is counting down Caitlin Clark's assault on Kelsey Plum's NCAA scoring record of 3,527. I don't blame him for that, because that is what the NCAA says the record is. But Lynette Woodard scored 3,649 points at Kansas in the AIAW era, and that somehow seems not to count.
I had no idea but they really ought to keep these records on the books like you said.
