NIGHT. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, SCOTT. THANK YOU. THERE ARE A LOT OF HAWKEYE FANS IN CENTRAL IOWA, BUT ONE GROUP IS CHEERING, ESPECIALLY LOUD FOR CAITLIN CLARK. ����vlog. BEAU BOWMAN LIVE AT DOWLING CATHOLIC IN WEST DES MOINES TODAY, WHERE CLARK HAS SOME FORMER TEAMMATES STILL PLAYING FOR THE MAROONS. THAT’S RIGHT, JAMES, AND TALKING WITH SOME OF THEM TODAY HERE AT DOWLING. THEY ALL TELL ME THEY SEE IT AS NO SURPRISE TO WATCH CAITLIN CLARK PLAY ON THE SPORT’S BIGGEST STAGE. IT WASN’T THAT LONG AGO, CAITLIN CLARK WAS HITTING THREES AND DISHING OUT SWEET ASSISTS THAT DOWLING CATHOLIC. HER OLD TEAMMATES STILL REMEMBER THE WAY SHE DOMINATED IOWA GIRLS BASKETBALL. LIKE, EVEN THOUGH I WAS HER TEAMMATE, SHE WOULD DO THINGS IN LIKE, OH, WOW. LIKE, YOU JUST KIND OF SOMETIMES DIDN’T EXPECT THAT SHE WAS GOING TO DO, BUT IT MADE IT FUN TO WATCH. NOW, AS A JUNIOR AT IOWA, CLARK IS IN CONSIDERATION FOR NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR. CARRYING THE HAWKEYES TO A BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP AND NOW A SWEET 16. HER COACH SAYS SHE STARTED GETTING CALLS FROM COLLEGE RECRUITERS BEFORE CAITLIN’S FRESHMAN YEAR AT DOWLING. WE DID A TEAM CAMP OVER AT CREIGHTON AND SHE HAD A COUPLE OF PASSES IN THE LIFE PLAY THAT EVERYONE IN THE GYM JUST KIND OF STOPS AND STARES. SHE TOOK US UNDER HER WING. YEAH, SHE WAS A GOOD LEADER, BUT DEFINITELY INTIMIDATING AT HER LEVEL. HER OLD TEAMMATES WHO JUST FINISHED THEIR SENIOR SEASON AT DOWLING CATHOLIC, SAY IT’S BEEN CRAZY TO WATCH CAITLIN BECOME THE QUEEN OF COLLEGE BASKETBALL WITH THE SAME STYLE SHE PLAYED WITH WHILE DOMINATING IN HIGH SCHOOL. SHE PLAYS THE SAME WAY, BUT SHE’S OBVIOUSLY IMPROVED A LOT. BUT IT’S REALLY COOL TO SEE THAT THAT WAS YOUR TEAMMATE. I KNOW, I KNOW. TELLING PEOPLE. I’M LIKE, YEAH, I’VE PLAYED WITH HER FOR. NOW. THE TEAM DOESN’T HAVE A PLAN FOR ANY KIND OF WATCH PARTY RIGHT NOW, BUT BOTH PLAYERS THERE TELL ME THEY’LL BE WATCHING AT HOME. WE’RE LIVE IN WEST DES MOINES, BEAU BOWMAN
