Great hearing from Kate Martin’s Mom and Dad. Matt Martin is right. “It’s not just about the winning. It’s about how they conduct themselves.”

[@fry5family]

Kate is integral to the magic of Iowa's NCAAW Finals legacy teams these last years. Yes, the glue, but also a teacher and leader on the court and a classy winner off the court. Congratulations on your draft selection to an amazing team!!! We will continue to follow your growth. God bless you and protect you in your journey!

They how to be so proud of their daughter. She’s an amazing person and an amazing player. We love Kate Money Martin!

[@jamienodell7109]

Love the dads comment about how it's so much more than W's. It's about how the girls and Kate conduct themselves off the court. Class and gratitude.

Sweet. She is one of my favorites, maybe my favorite.

Entertaining enjoyed watching Iowa women basketball they play full speed without the crying the guys do

CS from ACC Country in the US; Maybe I'm Wrong, but If I'm a GM / Coach, I'd Love 2 Steal Ms. Martin Late 1st or Early 2nd round in the Draft, and if I had ties to a European Club, make her a #1 Team pick if WNBA draftees are taken and / or pass on "Doubling Up" 2 play for a Euro team, where btw, the base salary" is more lucrative than the WNBA Average, and the players are Treated like the Rock-Star Ms. Martiin is... Very good player in her Own Right; Nice Fadeaway J, Deep 3 Range, Always Hustles, which is Appreciated, Good IQ, Floor General / Point Guard capable, and in certain Matchups able 2 help @ the 2 / Shooting Guard. Feedback is Welcomed on Ms. Martin holding off on "Full-time Coaching to Play Professionally.

[@jasonhawn1908]

They seem very kind in Iowa 😊... it'd be cool if indy drafted Kate Martin along with Caitlin clark.

[@csracingreport2024]

CS from ACC Country (NC) in the US; That thought crossed my Mind a couple of Months back before CC opted for the Draft, thinking she'd go Pro; If I'm the GM / Coach for INDIANA, or any Club, I'm calculating Late 1st, Early 2nd round steal, on the premise she'll likely be Available; 1st pick if I'm w/ a European team, where on a Hunch, the possibility of them being on the same Club may be stronger, but Like Yourself , I Agree w/ You, they could very well pair up @ INDY; Very Good Player in her own right... Good Fadeaway J, can shoot from Deep, and she Always Hustles, which is appreciated.

[@jasonhawn1908]

@csracingreport2024 I became a fan during the tournament. Kate Martin definitely hustles and seems like a player's player. Her and CC would definitely be a nice duo.

[@jc2333]

K-mart with the fadeaway .

[@davidtaddeo7695]

More Than BB😎😎😎💯🇺🇲

HATERS AND BITERS IN THE CITY...CC 22 🐐 just stop crying and EMBRACE y he new QUEEN...OH! her and Alliyah Boston will win multiple titles in the WEAK WNBA!🏀❤️ CC 22

[@shawnhenderson6861]

Heard she was a little bossy on the court that's too bad people have to be like that. Maybe she will make a better coach.
