WTH?? Media Runs With CRAZY Angle On Juju Watkins “PASSING” Caitlin Clark For NCAA Scoring RECORD

Media Spins Juju Watkins’ Scoring Feat to Overshadow Caitlin Clark – The Truth Behind the Headlines

Caitlin Clark passes the torch to next college hoops star in classy fashion

The sports media world is at it again, twisting narratives to fit agendas rather than facts. This time, the latest headline frenzy involves Juju Watkins allegedly surpassing Caitlin Clark’s NCAA scoring record—except that’s not exactly what happened.

Several major media outlets have framed the story as if Watkins has already outpaced Clark in the race for the all-time NCAA scoring record, conveniently leaving out key details that change the entire perspective.

So, what’s the real story?

The Headline vs. The Reality

WNBA Shit Talking !!!

Recent reports claim that Juju Watkins has passed Caitlin Clark for the most points scored through a player’s first two NCAA seasons. On the surface, this sounds like a huge accomplishment, and it is—Watkins is an elite talent who has proven herself as one of the best young scorers in women’s college basketball.

But here’s what the media isn’t telling you:

Clark never held the record for most points in two seasons.

That honor actually belongs to Kelsey Mitchell, who had more points at this stage in her college career than both Clark and Watkins.

Clark’s scoring exploded in her final two seasons.

While Watkins has a slight edge over Clark after two years, this is not an indicator that she will automatically surpass Clark’s historic 3,951 career points.
Clark significantly increased her scoring output in her junior and senior years, averaging 31.6 points per game in her final season—a level Watkins has yet to reach.

Watkins’ scoring pace isn’t as dominant as it seems.

Despite having more total points in two years, Clark actually averaged more points per game (26.8) than Watkins (25.9).
Watkins also took more shot attempts than Clark did in her first two seasons.

Media’s Clear Agenda Against Clark

The way this story is being pushed isn’t surprising. Ever since Caitlin Clark took over women’s basketball, certain factions of the media have made it their mission to downplay her impact and boost alternative narratives.

Instead of allowing Clark’s historic achievements to stand on their own, they are grasping at every opportunity to make it seem like someone is already outshining her legacy—even when the facts don’t support that conclusion.

This is not an attack on Juju Watkins. She is an incredible player, and she absolutely deserves recognition for her achievements. But the way the media is framing this narrative is misleading, setting unrealistic expectations for Watkins while simultaneously undermining Clark’s historic run.

What’s Next in the Scoring Race?

For Watkins to truly pass Clark’s all-time record, she will need to:

Maintain a scoring average above 28 points per game for two more seasons.
Play deep into the NCAA tournament every year.
Increase her efficiency while taking on a heavier workload.

It’s not impossible, but Clark’s record remains an extremely difficult milestone to reach.

Final Thoughts – Let the Players Shine Without the Narratives

The forced comparisons between Clark and Watkins don’t just do a disservice to Clark—they also place unnecessary pressure on Watkins.

Instead of manufacturing rivalries and twisting statistics, the media should let both players shine in their own right.

For now, Caitlin Clark’s legacy remains untouched, and the media spin machine needs to take a break from the constant Clark vs. Everyone agenda.
