#Hawkeyes
Words cannot express my love for my teammates, coaches, fans and our university - Thanks for making my dreams come true. Wearing Iowa across my chest the last four years has been an honor. This place will always be home🖤
Whenever and however this ends, how does Caitlin Clark hope people will remember about this Iowa team?
"People may remember we were in the Final Four twice, but people aren't going to remembermy buzzer-beating shots versus whoever. That's not going to matter to people in the end.
"I hope they remember how we made them feel, how we brought joy to their lives, how we gave their families something to scream about on the TV on the weekends. I hope those are the biggest things people remember.
"I hope all the young boys and girls remember the joy that we played with and how we took 10 seconds of our time to sign their autograph and that inspired them to be whatever they want to be.
"I think I'm speaking for our entire team, and that's what we're the most proud of, the way we've carried ourselves through this entire process. I think that's additionally allowed us to have so much success on the court, just the team and the family we've built over the past four years.
"And that speaks to the way Coach Bluder has built this program. There's been a lot of good Iowa women's basketball players to come before us and give us a foundation to maybe take another step forward and take the program to a place it hasn't been since the '90s. For me, that's the coolest thing. I've had so many amazing life opportunities and created so many memories with some of my best friends. And those are the things that will last forever."
