Peyton Manning's production firm releasing a docuseries on Caitlin Clark, WBB

Caitlin Clark is phenomenal and worthy of all the attention that has come her way this season. Not only is she a superstar for the Iowa Hawkeyes and most likely the top pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, but she's become an ambassador for women's college basketball and women's sports in general.

Again, averaging 31.9 points, 8.9 assists, 7.3 rebounds per game and with a flair for making the big shot, Clark has certainly demanded the attention of the sporting world. She's sold out arenas everywhere Iowa has played and even drawn comparisons to Stephen Curry, arguably the greatest shooter of the basketball of all time. Curry himself made those comparisons.

Now it's coming out that Peyton Manning wants in on the Clark-mania. 

Manning’s Omaha Productions, which produced the Netflix series “Quarterback,” will be releasing a docuseries focused on Clark as well as several other women's college hoopers.

The series will be produced in conjunction with ESPN and will be named "Full Court Press."

"As sports fans get ready for the madness of March, ESPN today announced the upcoming debut of Full Court Press – a new ESPN+ Original Series that chronicles the ongoing journeys of senior Iowa guard Caitlin Clark, senior South Carolina center Kamilla Cardoso and sophomore UCLA guard Kiki Rice," the press release read. "From Iowa’s historic preseason game that broke attendance records all the way through the WNBA draft in April, the series uses unparalleled access, exclusive interviews, and unique game footage, to transport audiences into the lives of these exceptional athletes. Full Court Press follows them as they steer their celebrated programs towards a national championship, all while navigating the pressures that come with representing the game during a pivotal era in women’s basketball."

Senior center Kamilla Cardoso is averaging 14 points and 9.5 rebounds per game for the Gamecocks while UCLA sophomore guard Kiki Rice is averaging 12.6 points and 5.8 rebounds per game for the Bruins. She was the No. 2 ranked recruit in the country out of high school.

Clark recently broke the NCAA's all-time scoring record in both men's and women's basketball, surpassing the great "Pistol" Pete Maravich.
