Although they may no longer be a part of their respective Hawkeye programs, both Caitlin Clark and her boyfriend Connor McCaffrey keep close tabs on the happenings around Iowa City.

While the past few months have been McCaffrey's time to shine as he joined Butler's coaching staff as an assistant, Saturday will mark the start of Clark's time to shine. One year after winning WNBA Rookie of the Year, her second season with the Indiana Fever will tip off against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Saturday.

With McCaffrey presumably ready to cheer on Clark, he also made sure to shout out one of his former teammates, Austin Ash, who is also getting into coaching post-basketball. 

The former Iowa and Citadel hooper was named the head coach at Earlham High School in Iowa, which led to McCaffrey writing "Let's go ."

Ash played four of his five college basketball seasons at Iowa before transferring to The Citadel. He and McCaffrey, who played six years of college basketball at Iowa, played on three NCAA Tournament teams together, advancing to the second round twice.

Across his five college basketball seasons, Ash averaged 7.4 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game, with his best season coming in his lone season at The Citadel, where he averaged 15.2 points per game.

As for Clark and her Fever squad, they will be headlining an exhilarating opening weekend of the WNBA season.

She and Reese, who have been rivals since their college days, will face off in a game that is set to tip at 3:00 p.m. ET and air on ABC. ESPN BET currently has the Fever as 7.5-point favorites, with the Matchup Predictor giving them a 69.7% chance of winning.
