'Morning Quickie': Women's hoops phenom Caitlin Clark going pro

She could be in Cleveland for the women's Final Four Apr. 5-7

Women’s collegiate hoops legend Caitlin Clark has decided to skip her senior year at Iowa and go pro, according to a post on her socials. She announced yesterday that she will be finishing her college career this year and won't be coming back for a fifth season via the COVID-19 waiver. Clark, who is projected as the WNBA's No. 1 pick by the Indiana Fever, broke the women's major college scoring record Wednesday with a 33-point performance at Minnesota. She has 3,650 points and is 18 from passing LSU's Pete Maravich, who holds the Division I overall record between men's and women's basketball with 3,667 points. Clark is 235 points shy of Pearl Moore (3,884 points), who set the AIAW overall/small-school record at Francis Marion from 1975 to 1979. "While this season is far from over and we have a lot more goals to achieve, it will be my last one at Iowa," Clark wrote. "I am excited to be entering the 2024 WNBA Draft.
