Unrivaled's latest signing may be temptation Caitlin Clark can't resist

The Indiana Fever had zero players in Unrivaled before Wednesday’s announcement of Lexie Hull being the 29th player. The 6’1 guard is fresh off a breakout season and best friends with Caitlin Clark. She will bring her elite shooting to the new league, but is it enough to convince Clark?

Unrivaled is making a hard push for Clark after agreeing to a television deal with TNT. They are willing to offer the bag, but it seemed unlikely with none of her teammates among the first 28 players. Adding Hull is a massive boost for Unrivaled’s chances at landing Clark.

The Fever’s superstar had a whirlwind last year. She led Iowa to the NCAA championship game before immediately jumping into the WNBA. Clark was instantly the biggest draw in the W and wants a relaxing offseason to work on her game. Is signing her teammate and best friend enough to convince her?

Unrivaled signing Lexie Hull may be the final temptation Caitlin Clark needs

The player-backed league is reportedly offering a gigantic amount to Clark similar to what the MLS gave Lionel Messi. The money and publicity will be there, but convincing number 22 has not been easy.

She now has the chance to play with a Fever teammate and close friend, while making millions. Unrivaled needs one more player to complete their first 30 and the league starts in January. They are clearly waiting for the final word from Clark. She has resisted so far, but this could be the thing that convinces her.

Napheese Collier is part owner of the league and announced there would be four rookies in year one. They have already announced four, but Clark can certainly alter plans. If CC wants to join the league, Unrivaled would be foolish not to sign her.

Caitlin Clark is already in the gym working on her game, and the Fever do not play again until April. It would be a positive to see her get some game action before her second WNBA season.

Unrivaled is a 3-on-3 league featuring some of the best players in the world. It would be a chance for Clark to compete for a championship and get ready for the WNBA season. Fans will certainly be excited if she takes part, but the decision rests with her.

Getting Lexie Hull certainly improved Unrivaled chances of landing Caitlin Clark. Stay tuned to see if she is the final player announced or if the Indiana Fever’s superstar decides to keep a low profile this offseason and focuses on improving her game in the gym. We are all waiting.
