Clark compared her decision for next year to being recruited out of high school. The 21-year-old said she knew there were several “good” options for where to play college basketball, but she chose Iowa because it felt right.
“It’s really not something I think about every single day,” Clark said of her upcoming decision. “It’s not something I let weigh on me.
