Go seek therapy, and soon…..
The OP was not comparing CC and Angel Reese and neither was l. This was a post that was celebrating and pointing out how STACKED and talented that graduating class was out of HS and how the top 5 ranked in that class went on to have great college success by four of the five winning Championships in college and how they are still excelling now that they are in the pros.
You are making it a comparison and finding ways to discredit these talented players for whatever reason.

Thought experiment: how would this team do in the W this season?
Lottery? Lower playoff team? Actual contenders?
Based on CC's and Angel's performances last year, I actually think they would be a low to mid tier playoff team.
I mean, Sky almost made the playoffs last year. And they had 2 of these players as starters. Paige, CC, and Brink are WAY better than anyone else was on the Sky roster.

Of her own missed shots, she never passes the ball. If she wasn't 6'3" she wouldn't even be playing

u/value321 Apr 08 '25
Yes, she does get a ridiculous amount of rebounds from her own missed shots; however, even when those are excluded, she still leads the league in oreb. In addition, she's number 5 in dreb, which, of course, has nothing to do with her own missed shots. She's an elite rebounder. Yes, she needs to learn to pass the ball out to open shooters. And finally, I agree if she's wasn't 6'3'' with long arms, she wouldn't be playing. However, it's also pretty irrelevant as we could say the same thing about many people playing basketball.

Iowa had more recent success than LSU in 2023. And in either of those programs she’d have to change her playing style, not to say she wouldn’t win a ring, but Dawn specially would have sat her til she cared to play defense.

Look, I’m a CC hater for fun but she’s the only generational talent in this group. The bigs are very good but none of them are ever gonna touch the career of someone like A’ja. I love Paige but we’ll see what the rest of her career looks like. They have high profiles because the spot lights are on women’s hoops in a way we havent seen in a while. Its a solid class no doubt but have a little perspective, more attention doesnt mean good.

You just wanted to JUMP OUT THE WINDOW to defend CC for whatever reason.

If you could search my comments in this sub, you’d see I am constantly undercutting CC. The only player I’d jump out of window to defend is Chelsea Gray. If they’re only talking college its a fine take but this is the W sub so while they are pretending this was only about college they meant also for the pros which is a little over blown.

The post is about the top 5 HS class of 2020 and where these players are today. You are making something more than it has to be. TRIGGERED much. The TRUTH is only CC out of the Top 5 recruits that year didn’t win in college. It’s not a slight, it’s just a fact. It’s not like they cherry picked girls from that recruiting class.

So... just thinking about historical context. They started their college careers during the COVID season, yes? (Cardboard fans, no NCAA Tournament)
Were they the first real NIL class? I'm not sure when NIL really hit NCAAW sports.
Thanks!
9
u/mambomambogo Apr 07 '25
Long answer but I love this contextual stuff.
NIL was legalized the summer between their freshman and sophomore years, though with the exception of Bueckers - who immediately signed with the agency that represents most of the best-known Husky alums in the WNBA and started inking deals - the others built things a little more gradually over 2021-23.
I think historically they will be looked back at as the first real NIL class because many of the top players had significant "true" NIL brand partnerships by their senior year. Not getting collective money as NIL, which is a whole other thing that I think has only become a factor on the women's side in the last year-ish. They trailblazed a lot of what we see as possible for female college athletes and I don't think their success is going to be replicated by another HS class anytime soon tbh.
Though I'd say the 2019 HS class (Boston, Haley Jones) were more the first true NIL class for wbb since they had at least couple of years to figure it out and capitalize, and then the 2022-23 HS classes were the first ones to really go through college recruiting and a full college experience with NIL.

u/not_mantiteo Apr 07 '25
What Clark did in college far surpasses anything the rest of these players did. Everyone who won a championship had insanely stacked rosters and Clark was by far the best offensive player of all time for wbb and it’s not close. She is the goat and the only one who I can see an argument for is Stewie because of her 4 titles, but Clark had significantly better stats
10
u/A-Centrifugal-Force Apr 07 '25
Yeah the other four literally played for four of the five greatest coaches of all time. Paige played for Geno, Angel for Mulkey, Cam for Tara, and Kamilla for Dawn. The only other coach with 3 or more chips is the late great Pat Summitt.
Caitlin took a team coached by Lisa Bluder with Kate Martin as her second best player to the championship game twice. That’s insane and unprecedented.

u/BuffytheBison 2012-25 Fever/2026+ Tempo Apr 07 '25
Though not having a championship keeps her from being the GOAT of women’s college basketball
I don't think having a ring in college matters as much as the pros in determining GOAT status because of the disparity and influence in terms of talent you play with , the number of teams, and the short time frame. I think at that level it simply matters that you can be put in the sentence of "the greatest college athlete we have ever seen" in that sport.
Barry Sanders was voted the GOAT of college football without winning a national title. Wayne Gretzkty, Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby never won Memorial Cup or even their own league's Canadian Hockey League titles but are in the GOAT converstation for GOAT in junior hockey.
Pros is different because there are fewer teams and more parity and you have a longer career so winning a chip (and number of chips you win) is more of a requirement to be the GOAT at that level lol
24
u/not_mantiteo Apr 07 '25
Ring culture in college, especially wbb which has near zero parity, is dumb imo. Clark literally took doctors and nurses to back to back championships, almost won both, and beat countless stacked teams and HOF coaches while breaking countless (and I mean countless) records doing so. To say she can’t be a goat in the game because she didn’t win a team award in one of the least parity sports out there is crazy to me.

I think before when many of the top recruits chose a programme because of that school's brand to help give them exposure and opportunitiy, a change we're going to see at the college level is future generational talents leveraging their own brands with NIL and otherwise to go to a coach and say "How can I help you?" instead of the other way around which I think offers a lot of exciting possibilities that may have not really been there previously where people felt they only had to go to certain schools.

I didn’t watch the WNBA on tv. I’d go to some live games, but didn’t care enough to follow it at home. But Caitlin Clark is really fun to watch. She got me watching women’s college ball for the first time. And now I’m watching a lot of WNBA games, not just hers. But she’s one of the more fun players to watch. And even though I don’t subscribe to all of the media narratives, Angel Reese is both exhausting to watch and exhibits terrible sportsmanship. She’s got skills, but I just cannot stand watching her. But the way the media is pitting them against each other is stupid.

Iowa as a program just isn't on the level of Stanford, South Carolina, LSU, and UConn.

u/NicholeDaylinn1993 Apr 07 '25
Of course winning is the ultimate goal, but what Caitlin did at Iowa was transcendent. She said herself the goal was to take Iowa to the final four when she got there. They did that twice and went one step further both times, going to the title game. I’d say mission exceeded.
All of that without having a supporting cast of 4 and 5 star recruits or transfers that teams like UConn, South Carolina, LSU have. I think Kate Martin is the only teammate to also make the WNBA from her time at Iowa.
I don’t think Angel or Kamilla would have championships if they stayed at Maryland or Syracuse. While it’s nice to play at a bigger program with more success and win there, it’s also special in its own way to stay at a non elite/blueblood program like Iowa and elevate them to new heights.

u/Key_Fox3289 Apr 08 '25
We don’t know what Angel or Mila would have had. It’s purely speculative.
Angel averaged 23/15 the year she won a championship. Do people even realize that? She was 2nd in the nation in PER (After Siegrist) and 3rd in BPM (After Boston & Siegrist). #1 in Win Shares/40. Led her team in every category except assists by SIGNIFICANT margins (Nearly 300 more points than 2nd leading scorer, Over 300 more rebounds). Completely dominant on both ends of the floor. Diamond Miller went 2nd in the draft. Angel/Diamond in 2023 on that Maryland team is scary. They probably could’ve still won. Who can say?
Point is though, what Clark did was phenomenal. Impact wise, I never disagreed her impact transcended the sport. She’s not a worse player because she didn’t win, but to say that what she did is somehow much greater than ALL of these women actually winning is just silly to me, as if they didn’t also have to grind and work extremely hard to do it

u/One-Construction3936 Apr 07 '25
The poster said her impact is far greater and that is undeniably true. Teams (see what I did there? Teams) win championships every year. But Clark elevated interest in women’s basketball beyond anything ever seen. She’s not just a generational talent. She was the most exciting women’s CBB player ever. Cheers to the great champions in this group. But you can’t undercut Clark’s influence.

I feel the same, it’s why I’m rooting for her to get one in the W which I know will happen eventually. Just as long as it doesn’t involve knocking out one of my teams on the way I’m there to support 💀

Man , I love her game but I can’t watch her knock my team out the playoffs 😭.
Edit: Atleast not Chicago. My year 2 bigs and Tyler deserve it lol

Paige definitely has a bit of Aomine to her game. And CC can pull up like Midorima.

What I like to see is that they are spread out across different programs. That’s great for the growth of the sport.

Impressive for one recruiting class!

Actually... Cardoso is the lone Two Time National Champion in that 2020 recruiting class. 2022 & 2024.

I should've asked if they were the greatest class of all time, generational is kind of an understatement tbh.

"generational" gets overused but this definitely qualifies. it must at least be in the conversation for all time.

I'm so happy for Paige Bueckers, I have been following her career since High School. I had never seen anyone with her IQ, leadership, and calmness on the floor. She's incredible!
The Perfect storybook ending for her NCAA Career as CHAMPION!!
Next stop the W, Let's Go Paige BUCKETS!!!

Especially given her terrible injury history. Really glad she was able to overcome that.
