Caitlin Clark, a standout player for the Indiana Fever, recently took a playful jab at her former Iowa teammates, Jada Gyamfi and Hannah Stuelke, on social media. The three athletes, who played together at Iowa, have a history of friendly banter, and Clark couldn’t resist making a light-hearted comment when Gyamfi posted a video of herself and Stuelke dancing on TikTok. Rather than simply enjoying the video, Clark humorously responded with: “More film and sleeping. Less TikTok.” Gyamfi, not missing a beat, jokingly threatened to block Clark on social media for the comment.
This playful exchange reflects Clark’s strong connection with her former teammates and her tendency to have fun with her friends on social platforms. The trio played together at Iowa for two years, and their shared time on the court is something Clark clearly still enjoys reminiscing about. Gyamfi, in particular, has been one of Clark’s closest teammates, having joined Iowa in 2022, the same year Clark was already a key figure on the team. Now, as Clark embarks on her professional career in the WNBA, the bonds she formed during her college years remain an important part of her life.
Clark’s first year in the WNBA has been nothing short of spectacular. After being selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft, she quickly made a name for herself as a dominant force on the court. She was named Rookie of the Year, contributing an impressive 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game. However, despite her success in the professional league, she still seems to enjoy the time spent keeping up with her former Iowa teammates.
On the other hand, Gyamfi and Stuelke are continuing to make their mark at Iowa. As of the 2024-2025 season, Iowa is undefeated with an 8-0 record, and both players are playing key roles. Stuelke is averaging 14.5 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, while Gyamfi, though contributing fewer points, is still a significant presence for the team. The Hawkeyes’ success is something Clark is clearly keeping an eye on, as she continues to show support from a distance.
As the 2024-2025 season progresses, the friendly rivalry between Clark and her former teammates is likely to continue. With Iowa gearing up for a challenging game against Tennessee and Clark preparing for her second year in the WNBA, both sides seem poised for success in their respective careers. While Clark is enjoying her offseason, it’s clear that her connections with her former Iowa teammates remain strong, and their playful exchanges are a testament to the lasting friendships formed during their time together.
