Indiana Fever rookie sensation Caitlin Clark was not selected to represent the United States at the Paris Olympic Games, but it sounds like some members of the U.S. Olympic Selection Committee have since changed their opinion on the superstar.
During a recent interview, South Carolina Gamecocks women’s basketball head coach Dawn Staley, who is a member of the U.S. Olympic Selection Committee, indicated that the committee has changed their mind on Caitlin Clark and she would have been “really high consideration” if the committee “had to do it all over again.”
“If we had to do it all over again, the way that she’s playing, she would be in really high consideration of making the team because she is playing head and shoulders above a lot of people,” Staley said after the U.S. men topped Serbia on Sunday afternoon.

Clark will have more chances to make Team USA in the future, but it seems like it is now clear to Staley that she belongs on this year’s roster.
While the U.S. Olympic Selection Committee might regret the decision, it’s too late for Clark to be added to the roster now as the 2024 Olympic games are now already underway.
