Portnoy reignites old Geno Auriemma remark amid Clark’s WNBA breakout

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy recently spotlighted a controversial comment from legendary Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma, resurfacing a critique about Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark's fit in the WNBA. Clark's impressive 32-point, 9-assist, 8-rebound performance in her return from a quad strain ignited a tidal wave of support-and gave Portnoy an opening to spotlight Auriemma's words from a June 6 appearance on The Dan Patrick Show.In that discussion, Auriemma cautioned that anticipation around Clark might be inflated. "The delusional fan base that follows her disrespected the WNBA players by saying she's going to go in that league and tear it apart," he said. He added that veterans like Diana Taurasi warned Clark was unprepared for the pro-level physicality: "This kid's in for a rude awakening... she's got the wrong skill set to handle the physicality of that league." Clark's return […]
