I don't believe that Clark is similar to Lindsay Allen.

Much more of an offensive player and that's going to be needed because there isn't a Kayla McBride, Jewel Loyd or Achonwa waiting on her. At least not yet. This spin that there's an open PG spot somehow waiting for her is an overreaction to the young lady saying that she wants to play right away. IMO. That's an attitude you want. Claiming that somehow Hayes or Kelly (also combo guards IMO) are Plan B is right along with believing ND wasn't serious about Malu Tshitenge-Mutombo because that's what us stargazers wanted to believe with Aliyah Boston in the mix. A four year run? What do you tell Olivia Miles?

At some point it reaches critical mass and you get an Erin Boley, Megan Walker, Evina Westbrook situation (let's hope). ND isn't back there yet.




Caitlin Clark is a different player than Lindsay Allen with

more size, greater shooting range, and a more aggressive approach to scoring. Nevertheless, the reports on her AAU games emphasize her playmaking more than her scoring. In her high school games, she needs to be a high volume shooter. If she chooses ND, I am guessing that Muffet's signing day comments will emphasize Caitlin's attributes as a floor leader and playmaker. Let's hope that she chooses ND and then we can read Muffet's outlook for Caitlin.
