I guess Caitlin Clark said on a radio show Monday, she is considering taking her COVID year and coming back for year # 5.
WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

Would certainly be in the cards for her to seriously consider it. The WNBA doesn't pay for crap compared to her possible endorsement deals which she can now do as a collegiate. I guess she gets more media PR, and market value for companies, in the NCAA than in the WNBA. For sure she is on TV more at Iowa than if she was playing for the Minnesota Lynx or other WNBA team.
Ava Jones will count against the limit unless she officially medically retires, AKA forfeits the idea of ever playing again. She has not done that. It may or may not happen at some point, but for now, everyone supports her trying to make a comeback.
But didnt Iowa have a football player retire, then transfer and play elsewhere?
Yeah, that was my understanding and why I counted her. I am skeptical she will ever play, maybe a token minute at some point, but there is no mistaking that she wants to try and that Iowa is honoring that. With her injures it's remarkable that she's even able to enroll and attend as a student. That accident was lifechanging for her whole family. I hate even thinking about it, it's just disturbing.
Ordinarily 15 WBB scholarships is more than most teams use but the COVID extra is having that come into play more for the next couple of years. After that it's more back to normal although you will still have the transfers complicating things each year.
Thanks for the clarification - I had not followed closely and the severity of the injuries at the time of the accident I thought definitely career ending. Good for her to keep fighting and keeping her dream alive.
I don't know about "expects", but "hopes" is true for sure. And Diew as well. And I assume Izzy will take the extra year, but she's a special case since she's really for all practical purposes a sophomore.
Running the table will be huge. I’d much rather be on the #3 side than have to deal with Texas or Baylor.
KSU screws up…gives up a quick two and then commits an offensive foul. Still up 2 with 19 left
