Caitlin Clark's High School Teammates Share Telling Truth

While Caitlin Clark shot into the spotlight thanks to her tremendous range from beyond the arc during her collegiate career with the Iowa Hawkeyes, she's arguably the most gifted passer in the WNBA already.

During her rookie season, the former No. 1 overall pick set a record, which has since been broken, for the most assists in league history. WNBA legend Sue Bird remarked about Clark's ability - not only to see the court, but actually get the ball to where it needs to go.

"The important thing to recognize here with Caitlin, and this conversation is we’re not even bringing her name up unless she has incredible court vision, and unless she has the type of vision where she’s able to anticipate and read," Bird said at the time. "What I would add to that and what I think separates her, on top of all the qualities that most great passers have, is that she has strength. Sometimes she’s able to make passes not because she sees it or because she’s reading the defense — yes, those things exist, but that’s not why she’s able to make the pass — she’s able to make the pass because she can actually get it there."

Clark's High School Teammates Tell Different Story

While Clark is heralded for her passing ability at the WNBA level, her former high school teammates tell a slightly different story - not that she couldn't pass, but that she wouldn't.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who is part of Fox's college football coverage this season, was in Ames, Iowa for an in-state rivalry game between Iowa and Iowa State. During the lead-up to the contest, Portnoy met a group of women who claimed to have played high school basketball with Clark.

When he asked if she passed during their high school days, the group of girls paused and collectively made faces that suggest Clark was more likely to hang on to the ball.
