CAITLIN CLARK’S JERSEY TO BE RETIRED

Sometimes someone comes along and changes everything. Usually they are honored near or at the end of a long and illustrious career. Their impact is felt far and wide though and is undeniable. Caitlin Clark is definitely one of those people even though her professional career hasn’t even started yet. There’s no telling how that might go, but her college career is undeniable and her impact on bringing wider awareness to Women’s Basketball and women’s sports as a whole has been felt country wide. With that being said Iowa is retiring her number 22 jersey! Again, this is not uncommon, but it usually isn’t something done just days after her playing career at school has finished. It is well deserved and I think it makes more of an impact now then it would 10 years later. Congratulations to Caitlin on this great honor!

There will never be another @CaitlinClark22 & there will never be another 2️⃣2️⃣.
