Adama Sanogo or Donovan Clingan

[Cardiac]

Out of those two, who's your choice and why?

Fight.

 

[Caronimo]

Both

 

[Cardiac]

Both

Who has the higher ceiling?

 

[ctchamps]

Who has the higher ceiling?

The taller guy!

 

[uconngb]

The taller guy!

Wouldn’t that be the lower ceiling??

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Sanogo. Sanogo is a skilled beast. When's the last time we had a skilled beast?

 

[mauconnfan]

Tough call but I will always go with the skilled 7 footer.

 

[JonathanX]

They are in different classes so I think there is a legitimate chance at landing both. If Sanogo reclassifies they are separated by two classes. But if I have to choose, Sanogo would be my choice due to his physicality; which would go a long way in the big east.

 

[superjohn]

Sanogo is over 2 years older than Clingan and is either a 2021 or 2020 recruit, Clingan is a 2022 recruit.

 

[tennmike]

...who will be 8' by the time he gets to college.

 

[Caronimo]

Who has the higher ceiling?

Take whoever commits first. Would kind of like the local kid but trust the staff in whoever they can get. Let's just make sure we get one!

 

[ctchamps]

Wouldn’t that be the lower ceiling??

Not if you're considering the structure of living and work quarters.

 

[Austin316]

Would be happy with either but I would be emotionally invested if we got a commit from Clingan.

 

[husky429]

Sanogo is 2 years older. Tough call to make. He's a much, much better player currently--but that's expected.

Gut says go with the local talent.

 

[ToolzieFan]

Sanago as a reclass in 2020, then Clingan in 2022. Ideally, Sanogo would be a three-year player, giving them a year together while Clingan adjusts to the college game.

 

[pj]

Yeah, they're in different years, so it's not necessarily competitive. If Sanogo is willing to commit you have to take him and then try to bring Clingan in to join him. If it had to be one or the other I'd go with Clingan, but I don't think that's the situation.

 

[navery12]

Both. They're not in the same class, and unlikely to even be 1 year apart when it's all said and done

 

[Spaceman213J]

As several have stated, why not both? I'm sure battling everyday in practice help Mourning and Mutumbo at Georgetown.

 

[ucawn]

Sanogo is 2021 and DC is 2022. Likely both are targets, especially if Etienne re-classes to 2020.

2020:
RS: Akok, Javonte Brown Ferguson

PF: Whaley Springs
Center: *Etienne Carlton

*If reclass

Obviously if Etienne doesn’t reclass Javonte Brown Ferguson doesn’t redshirt.


2021

PF: Akok Springs
C: *Etienne/Sanogo Javonte Brown Ferguson

*If Etienne were to reclass Sanogo is not a target. If they both stay 2021, then you choose 1 or the other.

2022

PF: Springs *Akok
C: **Etienne/Sanogo Javonte Brown Ferguson Clingan

*Probably NBA bound
**Etienne may test the waters after 2 seasons if he reclasses to 2020

So if Etienne reclasses to 2020 you target DC since Etienne may be gone after 2 seasons. Dan has the chance to absolutely load this team with talent the next decade is gonna be exciting

 

[GHSWolverines]

both because they are in different classes. I think Sanago will be tough to get bc he will have a lot of suitors. Clinigan would be nice bc he is a ct boy

 

[bfs3]

I'll take both obviously. Otherwise I would take Clingan. He seems like he could be a four year player, future CT legend and maybe start two 7 footers when Javonte Brown Ferguson is a Junior. In my dream scenario we take the transfer from Nolley and Sanogo this year. Jackson/Bouk/Nolley play between 20-25 minutes a game with Jackson likely coming off the bench for the beginning of the season. I don't think Jackson will stay at Uconn if he plays less than 20 minutes a game on the wing. Next year we have Gaffney/Jackson/Nolly/Sanogo/Javonte Brown Ferguson - Incoming Clingan and whoever else we land at the guard spots for depth and make a run. I made the mistake of looking at Hunter Sallis's Rivals page today and the forecast bummed me out. A Nolley commitment would definitely cheer me up. The thought of signing Sanogo would freeze my internet with all the refresh clicks so I don't want to get my hopes up right now.

I'll take the over on 25 minutes a game for Bouknight.

Clingan is 2022, not 2021. So we need a big to pair with Javonte Brown-Ferguson for 2021. Sanogo or Etienne as reclassifications this year or coming in 2021 would take care of that.

 

[UconnAlum04]

Yes

 

[Watchdog]

As several have stated, why not both? I'm sure battling everyday in practice help Mourning and Mutumbo at Georgetown.

It may have helped Mourning and Mutombo in games against other teams, but it didn't help them when faced with the fearsome tandem of Dan Cyrulik and Toraino Walker in the 1990 Big East Semi-Final........

 

[Brochacho]

Whichever makes Cuse fans more sad.
