Caitlin Clark left Iowa as one of the most decorated college basketball players in the history of the game.
While she failed to win a national title, Clark racked up just about every personal award possible all while setting the all-time scoring records – in men’s or women’s NCAA history. Following her record-setting Hawkeyes career she became the No. 1 overall pick by the Indiana Fever, which she helped to the playoffs for the first time in eight years.

After winning Rookie of the Year in her first season in the league, Clark is making a brief return to Iowa before her second WNBA season kicks off. She and the Fever are hitting the court against Brazil at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, IA on May 4.
Ahead of the game her teammate, Lexie Hull, whipped out a tribute for the Iowa superstar. “Lexie Hull reppin’ Caitlin Clark’s 22 for today’s game in Iowa,” the Fever said, showing a photo of Hull’s mid-riff revealing outfit.
The comments second was flooded with love from fans over the look.
“Lexie looks great reppin 22,” one person said.

“Our girls are soooo beautiful Rep that Lex!!!” offered another.
“YEA BUDDY REP IT LEXIE,” added a third.
Clark missed the team’s first preseason game against the Washington Mystics with a leg injury, but head coach Stephanie White loved her communication from the bench.
“Her communication was outstanding,” White said. “She was really engaged, and I felt like at one point she wanted to go back and put her uniform on and come out and play.
“As far as a status update, she’s had a lot of progress in the last 24 hours, and that was our goal. We’ll see what happens and how she feels after the workouts that she went through today. Hopefully, she’ll be ready to go [Sunday].”
