Caitlin Clark's Former College Team Gets Major Transfer News on Monday
It has been a full season since Caitlin Clark suited up for the Iowa Hawkeyes, but her legacy in Iowa City remains as strong as ever.
In their first season without Clark leading the offense, the Hawkeyes still managed to win 23 games, including 10 during Big Ten play. Her influence continues to resonate, especially in recruiting, as young players who watched her rise are now dreaming of making their mark at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

On Monday, Iowa head coach Jan Jensen shared a major roster update for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
"Hawk Fans, we added another great player to our team & you're gonna love watching her play! Plz help me officially welcome @Emyrodriguez21 !"
Jensen followed that up with a warm message:
"We're so excited to have Emely & her family join us! Thx for being a Hawkeye, Emely! We can't wait until you're here! Let's Goooo!"
The newest addition, UCF transfer Emely Rodriguez, is a 6-foot guard from Miami. In high school, she led Central Pointe Academy to an Sunshine Independent Athletic Association state championship. Rodriguez earned the Miami Herald's Miami-Dade County Girls Basketball Player of the Year honors after averaging an eye-popping 26.5 points and 15.5 rebounds per game.

Originally from the Dominican Republic, Rodriguez moved to Miami with her mother to pursue greater basketball opportunities.
Rodriguez spent her freshman season at UCF, appearing in 25 games for the Knights. She averaged 26.4 minutes and 11.9 points per game. On Nov. 29, she recorded her first collegiate double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds.
In her final appearance with UCF, she played 29 minutes and scored 17 points in a Big 12 Tournament second-round loss to Kansas State. She ended her season on a strong note, scoring in double digits in each of her final four games, including a 21-point performance against Iowa State on Feb. 25.
Her impressive debut season earned her a spot on the All-Big 12 Freshman Team.

Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky: Will Caitlin Clark play against Angel Reese this Saturday?
If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission. Pricing and availability are subject to change. Caitlin Clark's quad injury will keep her off the court for Saturday's Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky game, which is a disappointment to fans and (probably) network execs at CBS, where the game will be broadcast. That's because this Saturday's game has been touted at the first-ever WNBA game to air in prime-time on a major broadcast network, a major win for the WNBA (and about time).

Oregon WR Evan Stewart could miss 2025 season after suffering knee injury
Evan Stewart transferred to Oregon from Texas A&M ahead of the 2024 season. (Photo by Robin Alam/) Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart could miss part or all of the 2025 season after suffering a knee injury earlier in the week. Per ESPN, the injury is 'potentially season-ending.' According to On3, Stewart tore his patellar tendon. Advertisement Stewart was set to be Oregon's top returning receiver for the 2025 season. He was Oregon's second-leading receiver in 2024 with 48 catches for 613 yards and five touchdowns. Only Tez Johnson had more catches than Stewart, who missed the Ducks' Rose Bowl loss to Ohio State because of a lower back injury. Stewart is a former five-star recruit who signed with the Aggies out of high school. He was the No. 33 prospect in the country and the No. 4 wide receiver in his class behind 2025 NFL draft picks Luther Burden III and Tetairoa McMillan and LSU wide receiver Aaron Anderson. The 2024 season was Stewart's first with the Ducks after two seasons with the Aggies. He had 91 catches for 1,163 yards and six TDs over 18 games at A&M. If Stewart is out for the season, the Ducks will need to replace both Johnson and Stewart at wide receiver along with TE Terrance Ferguson. Oregon will also have a new quarterback after Dillon Gabriel was drafted by the Cleveland Browns and former UCLA QB Dante Moore presumably takes over as the starter. Oregon went 13-0 in the regular season and won the Big Ten title before losing to the Buckeyes in the College Football Playoff.
