Jason Whitlock, a one-time sports analyst turned conservative radio host, believes he has an optimal suggestion for Caitlin Clark’s future trajectory.

The collegiate realm witnessed Caitlin Clark’s final appearance on the NCAA court last Sunday, marking the conclusion of a remarkable journey. Jason Whitlock perceives this journey as too valuable to end just yet. The former ESPN figure, expressing his views on X this week, proposed that Caitlin Clark reconsider her decision to join the WNBA and instead return to the Iowa Hawkeyes for another season. His rationale includes the potential to further capitalize on Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities. Whitlock further recommended that she retire from basketball altogether and tie the knot with her current partner, thus steering clear of the perceived challenges and negativity associated with professional basketball, particularly in the WNBA.
“Caitlin Clark should return to Iowa next season, make about $20 million in NIL, retire from basketball, marry her boyfriend, and avoid the nastiness that awaits her in the WNBA. I’m not joking.”— Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason)

Whitlock is speaking strongly on this due to the many current or former WNBA players throwing shade towards Caitlin Clar and how many records she has broken as well as the media attention she gets for being a great player.
Whitlock even called out the WNBA ladies for their behavior towards Caitlin Clark before her final collegiate game.
“There are just some women who can’t be pleased no matter what, and are NEVER satisfied. We’ve never had an American women’s basketball player offered $5 million, $4 million, $3 million, $2 million, $1 million to play basketball here in the States. And this woman has found a way to be offended by it? Can’t be satisfied, it doesn’t matter what you do.
This is a great opening opportunity for American women’s basketball players. Caitlin Clark can drag all of these angry women to the financial Promised Land that they’ve been begging for. If Lexie Brown was smart she’d be saying ‘AWESOME CUBE! NOW, WNBA, WHAT’S YOUR COUNTER? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? SOMEONE IS OFFERING TO PAY CAITLIN CLARK $5 TO PLAY IN THE BIG3!’… I think Lexie Brown makes only $80,000. Ice Cube is elevating the market for all women’s basketball players, but Lexie Brown is upset?, Whitlock stated on Fox Sports Radio.”

With Iowa’s loss to South Carolina in the national title game, Caitlin Clark has officially played her last college basketball game and now a bunch of players in the WNBA are waiting for her.
WNBA legend Diana Taurasi found herself in hot water after she insinuated that Clark looks “superhuman” now because she’s playing against teenagers, but will have a much harder time in the WNBA. She declared that “reality is coming” for Clark.

“Reality is coming. There’s levels to this thing, we all went through it,” declared Taurasi. “…You look superhuman playing against some 18 years olds but you’re going to come play with some grown women that have been playing professional basketball for a long time.”

Sheryl Swoopes erroneously stated that Clark had completed her fifth season with the Hawkeyes, drawing a comparison to Kelsey Plum’s achievement of the all-time scoring record. Breanna Stewart, a former UConn player, argued that Clark couldn’t be considered the greatest of all time (GOAT) without a national title, while Lynette Woodard, a Hall of Famer who once held the NCAA scoring record, suggested that Clark’s reliance on three-pointers cast doubt on her breaking the nearly 50-year-old record.

Lexie Brown, a WNBA Champion and guard for the LA Sparks, also raised concerns about Clark after Ice Cube offered her $5 million to play in the BIG3 league.
