Caitlin Clark has been in the spotlight for the entire season. The Iowa guard made history during Sunday’s game against Ohio State and became the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer, surpassing LSU legend Pete Maravich’s previous record of 3,667 points.
Clark now sits at the top of the scoring charts at 3,685 points and it will take a special feat from another collegiate player to beat her record.
However, CBS analyst Tracy Wolfson believes that USC rising star JuJu Watkins might be a potential threat to Clark’s milestones.
While speaking on the “We Need to Talk” show, Wolfson said:
“And you talk about JuJu by the way, I mean she could wind up beating Caitlin Clark’s record. She is just a freshman.”
