JuJu had media hype, and Paige had media hype. Caitlin, we discovered on our own, like a band right before they became famous. (Then the media jumped on the bandwagon)
@ juju is still on the come up .. nobody cares for cc .. it’s more the class she’s in .. and the matchups.. juju is by herself .. she has mj potential.. cc has Larry bird at best
I’m tired of hearing people make excuses why NOBODY showing up. We went Wed. night to Univ. Texas volleyball v. Tennessee and it was packed (students too). 5100 but they are very exciting to watch (back to back ncaa champions and have a rabid fan base. This is why Clark’s games were always packed (college and pros). Exciting to watch. Simple. Give them a reason to come and fans WILL COME
I actually think its AMAZING for JuJu that she is struggling. Life is proving to her it's not as easy as maybe she thought. I watched the game vs Seton Hall and on one of the possessions in the latter half of the game she ran up behind one of Seton Halls guards and tried to pick pocket her like she was Hannah Hidalgo (She didnt get the steal). I think that was a very humbling experience for her the game vs Notre Dame but it's actually a very good thing because it showed her to some degree how hard she needs to be working on her game.
Juju had 8 TO's in that game... come on folks no one is here to see Juju, Paige or anyone else. CC had more people show up to play Golf and she isn't even a pro. People would pay to see CC play chess and out draw everyone else combined in their own sport. Clarkmate!
@@Brloder is she is better, why is nobody coming to watch her exciting play? Ju Ju's first 6 games in 2024, are averaging 4,470 in attendance. excluding her trip to the Bahamas,,,
@@audrasforest people are focused on attendance?? lol that has nothing to do with actually playing the game.. the NBA has lower attendance and doesn’t sell out games as well. Juju has a more rounded game than cc and has more upside .. cc just shoots 3s.. outside of that her came is pretty much basic
A lot of the holiday tournaments will have smaller crowds but 500 is VERY small. The WNBA media has put tons of pressure on JuJu, calling her the female Michael Jordan. Dial back the mega hype, media.
You cant expect everybody to shoot 3s like Clark. And nobody fills seats like Caitlin. Comparing Juju and Paige isn't fair. Looking for the next one may take a while...
I missed that time when people decided what they like and the media just jump on it to milk every ounce of it. Today, it seems like the media decides who must be a celebrity (mostly on DEI credentials) and everybody must follow.
How in the hell, does Catlin deal with, feeding Kelsey, keep Boston, involved at a high level, and make it look so damn simple, that no one notices. How many 30/30 games did kelsey and CC have coming down the stretch? JuJu and Kiki, gotta figure this out.
I feel bad for JuJu, They were playing in Palm Desert, California, which is only two hours away from Los Angeles so even USC fans weren’t there to watch their team.
@@BigJasonHenderson My problem is the clickbait title which sounds like Mick has never been to LA, doesn't know where Palm Springs is, has no idea how Thanksgiving works and that College students are all at home with their families this week. Mistakes all day long.
It is thanksgiving time to be fair. But yeah she's obviously not near the draw the media tries to hype her up to be. The way Iowa fans got behind CC with overwhelming support rubbed off on people everywhere and grew her fanbase. They were not hating on other player's success. If the people hating on CC spent more time actually getting behind JuJu and supporting, maybe she would be a bigger draw. Telling us to support is different from showing us your support.
Dude, Iowa just played in an empty arena. It means NOTHING. These are holiday tournaments that mean very little. Teams are solidifying their rotations, seeing what works before conference play begins.
Honestly, most thanksgiving week College hoops games are usually empty because students are on break and alumni are dealing with the holiday and football. If she is still playing for empty stadiums in mid January then I think it will really mean something.
Aja Wilson may be an likeable person off the court or at least I perceived that way, but she is no doubt a generational talent. Marketability and talent aren't the same thing. Lots of professional players have talent and are clutch. Generational talents possess a skill set complimented by physical attributes and execution that far exceed their competition and sometimes their contemporaries. Juju plays a high skill position at the 1 whilst also having the size of of a 3 or stretch 4. That is incredible versatility. You can't teach size and natural speed. You can only teach decisions making, skills, and preparation. Clark has a much better story. She is the underdog story of the girl next door. Everything that has occurred in the media has fed into this story. It's a Cinderella story. A small town girl at mid college program shocks the world. Then gets drafted by one of the worst teams in the W. So bad in fact that they got multiple 1st rounders in the W draft system without tanking. A team that was a winner at won't point in time. So the existing fan base was hungry for a glow up. Then Clark arrives with immediate impact. People follow her story from college to see how the fairy tale ends. To see how far she can soar. That's a story that you can sell. What is Aja's story? I was born into winning. I grew up privileged. I grew up with physically dominant attributes that I polished by nourishing my natural talent into a bag to dominate players that cant keep up with me. Only I can beat myself. You don't matter because I'm the best. It's my destiny. That story is not a heros tale is it? How do you sell that story? How do you market it to a mainstream audience without being willing to double down on being an anti hot at best. What is Steweys's story? Coming from UCONN she is the pinnacle of manufactured excellence. At least to hear Gino tell it. Not a very interesting story. Angel Reese has clout chasing narrative that has some appeal to a modern urban audience but no cross over appeal. The problem isn't that their is a lack of talent. It's that the best story told right now belongs to Clark and has turned everyone else into a side character or antagonist. Juju doesn't have a story yet and nobody is helping her get a good one.
Best way I’ve seen Clarks appeal stated. The underdog story you just described is what makes her so appealing to follow we have to see the end of that story! 😊
When USC travels to Iowa City Carver will be packed. Iowa/Caitlin fans can appreciate JuJu’s talent and will support her while cheering on their Hawkeyes.
Don't know how you expect her to pick it up. This is the soft part of their schedule except for ND. ND showed the blueprint to frustrate Juju. B1G will give USC a battle almost every game. USC has 7 games in the East and Central time zone. 6 of the games are a pair of Sunday and Wednesday closer games. I wonder if USC is not flying home after the game and staying in the area for both games. Do online classes. Definitely would be helpful for the players.
What the Iowa fans, and that women's basketball team all of them have done for the sport will be looked at in 10 years. It was indeed something special and Catlin is a special player and talent. We quickly just expected her to drop 30 because that was almost her average. Turns out hey the scoring record stood for that long for a reason. You got to be very good very consistently to break records. They want Ju Ju to be the face so bad but tbh I just don't see it. There is no manufacturing what happened in Iowa.
I don't understand why you all are comparing everybody to Caitlin f****** Clark. I think it's a disservice to not only Caitlin but to the other players. Just let them be great. In their own way their time will come
because CC fans are a cult and refuse to let any other player get any type of compliment or glaze or enjoy their career in anyway whatsoever. God forbid if they do it someone is "disrespectful" to CC or "unfair" or whatever else they call it. They are deranged af and these video makers like Mic the Prick literally just scum the internet for content and exploit people's idiocy on the topic
The game where Clark had an empty arena was her Sophmore season, the same as Juju, but he talked about Clark her senior season after the media push, let’s see if they push Juju the same way her senior season.
Iowa (6-0) average attendance for 1st 6 games in 2024 , is averaging 12,031 while USC (5-1) in 1st 6 games in 2024, is averaging 4,470 peaking at 7,894 for the game versus Notre Dame ( at home ) in The Galen Center, home of the USC Trojans women's basketball team, which has a capacity of 10,258 seats: Stats exclude her vacation trip to the Bahamas.
I only started following Clark when the media started to talk about her being she on pace to break the scoring record, amongst others, otherwise i wouldn't have really bothered.
Its good that JuJu has Kiki in the team, since learning how to work efficiently with another good player will prepare her more for the W than if she was the only main attacking player. When entering the W, it is unlikely she will be the centre piece and will have to quickly adapt to the team she joins.
I am watching greatness. Juju and Paige are like seal team 6 and CC is The Unit (DELTA FORCE) If only these people who hate CC for being the best of the best as a rookie and leave all their worldly triggers at the door when watching sports they took will know. Sad part is in 20 years from now the haters are going to brag that they watched her from one
It's going to be Hannah Hidalgo. Everyone recognizes her talent but she's on slow burn because of Paige and Juju. Once Paige leaves we'll have two juniors battling it out.
I think the empty or half empty arenas are starting to become an unnecessary harping point about Juju. The primary issues with Watkins is her game is not that efficient, she doesn't make her teammates better, and her coach's handling of her leans into a lot of her weaknesses, but that's also kind of the USC strategy in whole. Granted, this last game they moved the ball a little better, but of course the competition was not on a Notre Dame level. Juju in a lot of ways is a raw all star level prospect that has the potential to be great one day, but she's just not there yet. She's not the first person to be in this position, she's just one of those rare cases where she is in a position that her game is not developed enough to be in. She embraces the fact that media sees her as the face, but having confidence in that isn't exactly a bad thing for her. Her game is not there yet, but she'll get there soon enough... but this has already been said. You'll probably be making videos about Juju playing to nearly empty arenas for the next month, but that's just something I don't think people need to be so hyper focused on. She's not Caitlin, I don't think she's trying to be Caitlin, and it's not like she's saying she's better than Caitlin. I think people should just treat Watkins like any other really talented player, and just move on from the media push of her.
Juju's ceiling *might* be a better version of Alyssa Thomas someday, because without a solid 3 pt threat teams will be able to pack the paint and deny her any lanes to the basket. And because she's not really a great passer like Thomas she'll defenitely have to go above and beyond in all other areas to eclipse Thomas
If you look at Clark's game during a holiday tournament game her junior year, it was NOT sold out. The game vs. Oregon State there were clearly empty seats in an arena that had a capacity of 4,850 (The Moda Center in Portland, Oregon). That was right before the Clark bandwagon train started. The next game against UCOnn the UConn fans came out along with the Iowa fans and there were a lot more but I'm using the Oregon State game as an example, holiday touranments always struggle to get fans to go, especially ones that are far from the school's home state.
Juju is a better all round player than Clark.( Offensively and defensively) If fans decide not to show up, that's on the fans; it has nothing to do with juju's talent as a basketball player. Candace Parker played in the WNBA when fans didn't show up to watch games but that doesn't in any way mean that clark is better than Candace Parker because Candace is miles ahead of Clark offensively and defensively.
@@charisdiscuss7889These people don’t care about basketball, Clark is nowhere near Candace or Juju. Let’s wait until Juju’s senior season to see her impact, Clark was in empty arenas her sophomore season as well until the media started pushing her in her senior season.
It's too early. Look at Hailey Van Lith's transformation! She elevated once she hit the right team. Those stacked teams will diminish many potential stars.
Why does it matter if they don't pack the house for games. It's not like any team is playing anyone worth a lick at this point in the season. Nobody wants to pay money to watch a clear blow out. So talking about this this early in the season is crazy
Iowa played Rhode Island in Cancun tonight there weren’t many more than 500 fans in the crowd. It’s the first game this year Iowa played that wasn’t sold out.
Mike, don't you need to do something to be labeled great? Now it only takes a game or season? You don't now have to lead your team to anything? Being a great scorer does not make a generational player, nor does one pop up every year.
The only female player that can be compared to Clark is probably in elementary school somewhere and nobody knows her name yet. But current notable players… Nada. Clark has the it factor. You know it when you see it. 🤷♂️
JuJu is 19 years old, technically still a teenager. Let this young lady play. CC is sensational, an unrivaled draw, but I don't think she would like the narrative you fans are constructing. CC played in Iowa. The University is the biggest draw in the State. USC is in Southern, California. A girl's basketball game won't make the Top 10 attractions. Their men's basketball team doesn't draw. Don't target a 19-year because of a few CC haters.
Juju is good but not in the top 6 or so players in college. When I watch her she makes me nervous of how she plays. Contrast that with watching the calming effect Paige Bueckers gives me and the excitement Hanna Hildalgo offers Sorry, Juju is not even close to being enjoyable to watch
That is a BS excuse. We went last night (Wed. NIGHT before Thanksgiving) to University of Texas Volleyball v. Tennessee and there was 5100 fans there. Texas is back to back NCAA Champions , are super exciting to watch and have a rabid fanbase. If you give the fans something exciting they want to watch they will come out. STOP with the excuses.
@@jeangrey5952 Couldn't find in season tournaments, but two of the top four attended games in the 2022 NCAA tournament were games involving Iowa in the 1st and second round (where Iowa lost). Only higher rated games were the final and semifinal. They were held in the Target Center, a place where Clark was able to top that attendance TWICE when she brought her Fever to town this WNBA season!!
@ I’m talking about the regular season, once the tournament hits everyone is watching, if that’s the case let’s see when these players do in the tournament. Clark had plenty of empty games her sophomore season but I don’t remember anyone on here making videos about it.
@@jeangrey5952 First off, Clark's Sophomore season was coming straight out of Covid. People still weren't traveling and foreign countries had stricter Covid protocols (still seems like CC dang BUSTED JuJu's #'s). Second, there are TRAILBLAZERS and there are those who follow the marked trail. Who is who in this scenario???
Juju this is laughable you can have all the fake hype you want but if you don't generate ticket sales I feel like stadiums all that fake advertisement don't mean nothing because when you ran a business you need paying customers, this is disgustingly stupid they bragging about somebody and they can't even pull in revenue, they should get penalized for gas lighting so much, it would never be another player like Caitlin Clark that's why she is called a generational player what's in a generation that's when a certain player exists, stop the BS, it is nothing impressive about her game I'm not gravitated to watch her play😊
She needs to play like aja be selfish shoot every time the ball gets in her hand she is one of the best in the preimiter but forget post and threes then other teams will double her then she can pass to the open player
Wrong. I thought the same would be true but we went Wed. night to U Texas volleyball v. Tennessee and there were 5100 in attendance. Exciting product (back to back champions) rabid fanbase makes people come out no matter when.
An empty arena in PALM SPRINGS - a small town in the desert three hours from LA with a population of 45 thousand residents the day before Thanksgiving. lol. Sit down.
Where there is a will, there is a way. CC had people driving from Canada to come see her. They didn’t fill the arena in LA either. I hate that they are doing this to this young lady. All the noise online means nothing if you aren’t putting butts in the seats.
So what does this mean? You guys are already starting on JuJu, why? So this means she’s not amazing player? A lot of is, she doesn’t play in Iowa. I love CC, you guys are just as bad as the people you hate
Even if it's on a urban overseas area, if you ate a grnuine fan and you are a genuine famous player fans will always show up no matter what. So your logic is invalid.
It's an out of town holiday tournament. They're always empty. On the other hand, The Hawkeyes did sell out the Sanford Arena vs Kansas in the opposite corner of the state a few games ago.
I think that's the main difference: JuJu has hype, Paige has hype, other players have hype. CC had a "mania".
JuJu had media hype, and Paige had media hype. Caitlin, we discovered on our own, like a band right before they became famous. (Then the media jumped on the bandwagon)
Paige or Clark isn’t better than juju
@@Brloder That could be the case, but we won't know until Paige and JuJu end up in the WNBA. At this point, it is all just speculation.
Nah. CC is miles ahead of Paige and Juju.
@@Kokobazonkos no she isn’t
There is one Michael Jordan. There is one Caitlyn Clark. There is one Tiger Woods. It is what it is.
Caitlyn Clark is not better than juju
CC is not even close to Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan status. Please allow her to actually win a championship before graduating to that status.
@ but nobody cares enough to watch juju play. CC’s got that it factor, I’m sorry.
@ juju is still on the come up .. nobody cares for cc .. it’s more the class she’s in .. and the matchups.. juju is by herself .. she has mj potential.. cc has Larry bird at best
Stop it there’s a million little girls out there and there’s another CC too look up Special K
You cannot artificially manufacture fan engagement. You cannot force the fans to support someone or something they do not genuinely care about.
I’m tired of hearing people make excuses why NOBODY showing up. We went Wed. night to Univ. Texas volleyball v.

Shit Volleyball girls are hot, hell yeah I can see why.
I guess you can conclude that women's basketball is not exciting. Ergo, fans stay away !!!
I meant to add UT volleyball plays in small arena so 5100 is basically sold out with some fans standing room.
I actually think its AMAZING for JuJu that she is struggling. Life is proving to her it's not as easy as maybe she thought. I watched the game vs Seton Hall and on one of the possessions in the latter half of the game she ran up behind one of Seton Halls guards and tried to pick pocket her like she was Hannah Hidalgo (She didnt get the steal).

@@BigJasonHendersonno one is traveling to Palm Desert during Thanksgiving to see CC play. You obviously don't understand the distance and holiday.

@@charisdiscuss7889These people don’t care about basketball, Clark is nowhere near Candace or Juju. Let’s wait until Juju’s senior season to see her impact, Clark was in empty arenas her sophomore season as well until the media started pushing her in her senior season.
@@charisdiscuss7889 juju is trash
It's too early. Look at Hailey Van Lith's transformation! She elevated once she hit the right team. Those stacked teams will diminish many potential stars.
Yes Ju Ju & Paige are good players but not generational like Clark. 😏
Why does it matter if they don't pack the house for games. It's not like any team is playing anyone worth a lick at this point in the season. Nobody wants to pay money to watch a clear blow out. So talking about this this early in the season is crazy
People would spend their vacations watching Caitlin Clark. People won’t watch these other players up the street
Iowa played Rhode Island in Cancun tonight there weren’t many more than 500 fans in the crowd. It’s the first game this year Iowa played that wasn’t sold out.
why the fuck did iowa play Rhode island in Mexico?
Yep. Bad look. Doesn’t have the Mexico or Bahamas excuse either. Should be able to draw more fans than this.
So Juju needs to do something incredible to win a few games in a row.
Cc is legit CHARZARD of the WNBA 😂
If Caitlin played with Juju, Juju would score 50 a game and Caitlin would have 25 assists. She’s very much like Carmelo.
Mike, don't you need to do something to be labeled great? Now it only takes a game or season? You don't now have to lead your team to anything? Being a great scorer does not make a generational player, nor does one pop up every year.
I seen her Saturday against the Irish she is the worst yeah she's really good against community colleges
The only female player that can be compared to Clark is probably in elementary school somewhere and nobody knows her name yet. But current notable players… Nada. Clark has the it factor. You know it when you see it. 🤷♂️
JuJu is 19 years old, technically still a teenager. Let this young lady play. CC is sensational, an unrivaled draw, but I don't think she would like the narrative you fans are constructing. CC played in Iowa. The University is the biggest draw in the State. USC is in Southern, California. A girl's basketball game won't make the Top 10 attractions. Their men's basketball team doesn't draw. Don't target a 19-year because of a few CC haters.
Its Thanksgiving and the game is being played on the Beach in Ft Meyers FL.....
Ummmm everything I’ve heard is the game was 2 hours away from LA not in Florida. Stop making excuses.
Juju is good but not in the top 6 or so players in college. When I watch her she makes me nervous of how she plays. Contrast that with watching the calming effect Paige Bueckers gives me and the excitement Hanna Hildalgo offers
Sorry, Juju is not even close to being enjoyable to watch
7:15: When you say "people" you're including yourself, right?
american thanksgiving is why nobody is there all the students are home
Exactly..This shiit is getting old
That is a BS excuse. We went last night (Wed. NIGHT before Thanksgiving) to University of Texas Volleyball v. Tennessee and there was 5100 fans there. Texas is back to back NCAA Champions , are super exciting to watch and have a rabid fanbase. If you give the fans something exciting they want to watch they will come out. STOP with the excuses.
@@chad85100 who gives a fuq?
@@chad85100 BS the game wasn’t at a neutral site!
Back to back champions and only 5000 fans? How pathetic!!!!!
Shes not as exciting to watch. What does she do? Whats her signature move? She will not get there as long as CC is around. Let her be
just examine that photo: is that a "likeable" person? Or an 'entitled' person?
Why does he keep comparing Clark’s senior season to Juju’s sophomore season? Clark wasn’t selling out anything her sophomore season, compare that.
Iowa actually ranked third in the nation in attendance during CC's sophomore year. 3 of the 12 home games were sellouts, the first ones since 1988.
@ Show me on the road and the in season tournaments. She didn’t sell out anything.
@@jeangrey5952 Couldn't find in season tournaments, but two of the top four attended games in the 2022 NCAA tournament were games involving Iowa in the 1st and second round (where Iowa lost). Only higher rated games were the final and semifinal. They were held in the Target Center, a place where Clark was able to top that attendance TWICE when she brought her Fever to town this WNBA season!!
@ I’m talking about the regular season, once the tournament hits everyone is watching, if that’s the case let’s see when these players do in the tournament. Clark had plenty of empty games her sophomore season but I don’t remember anyone on here making videos about it.
@@jeangrey5952 First off, Clark's Sophomore season was coming straight out of Covid. People still weren't traveling and foreign countries had stricter Covid protocols (still seems like CC dang BUSTED JuJu's #'s). Second, there are TRAILBLAZERS and there are those who follow the marked trail. Who is who in this scenario???
Is that the Bahamas game.
We know nothing about her
WHO IS THAT WTF…JUJU W. SHE IS NOTHING COMPARES TO THE SENSATIONAL SUPERSTAR HER GREATNESS QUEEN CAITLIN CLARCK.
I just want to know how she looks like with her hair down
Juju this is laughable you can have all the fake hype you want but if you don't generate ticket sales I feel like stadiums all that fake advertisement don't mean nothing because when you ran a business you need paying customers, this is disgustingly stupid they bragging about somebody and they can't even pull in revenue, they should get penalized for gas lighting so much, it would never be another player like Caitlin Clark that's why she is called a generational player what's in a generation that's when a certain player exists, stop the BS, it is nothing impressive about her game I'm not gravitated to watch her play😊
She needs to play like aja be selfish shoot every time the ball gets in her hand she is one of the best in the preimiter but forget post and threes then other teams will double her then she can pass to the open player
College students are out for Thanksgiving, so that's why the stands were empty, but that empty?
Wrong. I thought the same would be true but we went Wed. night to U Texas volleyball v. Tennessee and there were 5100 in attendance. Exciting product (back to back champions) rabid fanbase makes people come out no matter when.
Excuses Excuses
Hey JuJu yawn 🥱 CC is the GOAT 🏆😉💯🤫
An empty arena in PALM SPRINGS - a small town in the desert three hours from LA with a population of 45 thousand residents the day before Thanksgiving. lol. Sit down.
It's only 2 hours away from LA and huge in golf resorts. It's not like it's a shit hole in the middle of the desert. It's touristy
USC screwed up why have games in Palm Springs? Dumb Idea.
Where there is a will, there is a way. CC had people driving from Canada to come see her. They didn’t fill the arena in LA either. I hate that they are doing this to this young lady. All the noise online means nothing if you aren’t putting butts in the seats.
@@marisoltammero3331 I drove 6 hours to see her in Phoenix in freaking June at 110 degrees 🥴
Cc has people from Australia and Africa literally flying in lol.
So what does this mean? You guys are already starting on JuJu, why? So this means she’s not amazing player? A lot of is, she doesn’t play in Iowa. I love CC, you guys are just as bad as the people you hate
🎯
It was because its located in a old peoples area. People have to drive to far.😂😂😂😂
Even if it's on a urban overseas area, if you ate a grnuine fan and you are a genuine famous player fans will always show up no matter what. So your logic is invalid.
Anti senior citizens, boy. Prig.
It's an out of town holiday tournament. They're always empty. On the other hand, The Hawkeyes did sell out the Sanford Arena vs Kansas in the opposite corner of the state a few games ago.
Snake!
i unsubs because you think your juju is better than cc 🤣
