Why most Caitlin Clark been hired …..

The morning after she torched sixth-ranked Michigan for 38 points, set social media ablaze with a flurry of impossibly deep 3-pointers and catapulted Iowa to the top of the Big Ten, Caitlin Clark made the mistake of assuming she could still go unnoticed on campus.

Clark’s 8 a.m. introduction to marketing strategies class began with the professor gushing, “How about the women’s basketball team!” The professor then scanned the nearly 300 students in the lecture hall and asked, “Is Caitlin Clark here today?”

“I raised my hand, and everybody stood up and started clapping,” Clark told Yahoo Sports. “I was so embarrassed.”

The most entertaining player in college basketball will have to get comfortable being the center of attention more often. The combination of Clark’s splashy style of play, jaw-dropping stats and pathological competitiveness has won the sophomore guard a horde of new fans in Iowa City and beyond.

Clark averages 27.4 points per game, which leads women’s college basketball. Clark also averages 7.9 assists per game, which is also best in the nation. Her dual-threat ability to elevate her teammates or unleash a scoring surge of her own has transformed eighth-ranked Iowa into a Final Four contender and propelled Clark herself into the limelight.

Strangers often gawk when they spot her at the grocery store or approach for autographs or pictures when she goes out for a meal. Her Instagram following rocketed up by 30,000 in a single day last month. So many companies have inundated her with endorsement offers that she turns away more than she accepts.
