Another blow to Big East: Olsen in transfer portal

[Bjbod]

Being the replacement for Caitlin Clark ( and she will be labeled as such ) is like replacing Jeter at SS for the Yankees. Not an enviable task. No one can succeed at that.

No one in the state of Iowa expects her to be any kind of replacement for CC. Iowa is losing 66% of their scoring next year. Additionally, their freshman point guard and their incoming freshman point guard both suffered season-ending knee injures late in the year, so will be doubtful they can play in the first half of the schedule. They were desperate for a point guard who could also score, and Lucy Olsen couldn't fit the bill any better. By all accounts she is thrilled with the opportunity. People unfamiliar with the program and from afar will talk about this topic, but it's a misguided line of thought. Will be interesting to see how she meshes with the rest of the team.
