It might excite Tar Heels fans to know that Iowa women's basketball star Caitlyn Clark once wore a Carolina uniform and was a huge UNC fan. That uniform, though, was a Harrison Barnes jersey. Clark marveled at Barnes when he was an Ames High School star while she was in elementary school in West Des Moines. "I was also a big Mia Hamm fan, too." (Tar Heel Tribune)
