Hannah Hidalgo comparison to Caitlin Clark quickly shut down

As someone who fills the entire stat sheet on a nightly basis, there is no denying that Hannah Hidalgo is a high-level prospect early in her college career. However, one analyst was displeased to hear her being spoken about in the same manner as Caitlin Clark.

Last week, Hidalgo squared off against arguably the top player in women's college basketball Paige Bueckers. She had a dominant outing (29 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists), and was able to lead Notre Dame to a win over UConn.

During the matchup, one of the broadcasters referred to Hidalgo as a generational talent. This outraged Locked on UConn host Mark Zanetto, who feels the term is starting to get overused. He later went on to state why he has Caitlin Clark over Hidalgo in terms of their overall stock as a prospect.

"She doesn’t have Caitlin Clark’s range first off. At 5’6″, she needs help," Zanetto said. "I’m not trying to be a j-rk but I’m gonna tell you, when she gets to the next level, when she plays against bigger guards, they’re going to make her go to the hole. She’s not Steph Curry, I’m just saying.”

Hidalgo is off to an impressive start to her college career, but she still has a ways to go to enter the same tier as someone like Clark.
