Clingan 7'2"

[Chantry1101]

You don't see it in the videos but he's an excellent passer out of the post, low or high. He hits cutters and he kicks out to shooters, very tough to double team. He was a very skilled youth player before he got huge too.

 

[jibsey]

He'll be a junior this fall

Woulda been better if it was this year

 

[Waquoit]

Gminski left a year early.

 

[djct1999]

hmmmmmm.....

 

[Guapo]

Is he 7’3’’ yet?

 

[BGesus4]

hmmmmmm.....

Heart skipped a beat seeing "committed to Michigan State"

 

[the Q]

hmmmmmm.....

I hate when bad news is good news.

Hope we get to throttle them in the tournament again soon. Really soon.

 

[Mooch82]

hmmmmmm.....

I think there was some Crystal Ball movement here over the last couple weeks, so I believe it was expected. Regardless, nice domino for us.

MSU has signed how many 5* in past 60 days?
3 or 4 I think
What is Izzo doing? Has he found the bank account too?

Who wouldn’t want to play with Emoni. Kid is literally a generational talent. Also the huge benefit of getting kids to commit early on.

Possibly.

But this is also Michigan State we are talking about, not the University of Detroit.

 

[Huskyforlife]

It's definitely the emoni effect.

It's definitely the emoni effect.

Young man did coach Izzo a huge favor since you have to figure there's almost zero chance he plays a college game. Committed with a ton of time for MSU to use it on the recruiting trail.

For what it’s worth Boayke could reclass to 2021 and be a one and done, which would likely mean MSU would still have Clingan interest

 

[Ricker]

I hadn't noticed Clingan is up to #39 in the 247 composite. Alex Karaban, (6'8 Giffey as a Sr comp) , is the kid I like that everyone else in the Big East but us has offered, is now #56. Kyle Filipowski 6'10 who can go coast to coast is now #157 Composite #81 247 (which suggests he hasn't been seen by some). Riley Mulvey 6'11 that played center with Jackson is now composite #179 while NR by 247, (so others must have him higher than 179). I would love him if we missed on Clingan. Filipowski and Karaban can easily be on the court with Clingan. I want one of them. I really don't understand the rating changes with no games being played. Maybe the raters are watching as much of last seasons games as @husky429 and making changes from that..

He's a 2022 four-star. He's not likely to be a one-and-done as a 2021 recruit.

 

[UConnKev]

South Carolina just offered

[CL82]

I say it a lot but as big and as skilled as this kid is, his character is his best attribute. I'd love for him to be a part of what Hurley is building in Storrs.

'22 Center. Has the nosepicker seen the writing on the wall??

I'm ready to poop

No surprise the folks over at SyracuseFan are calling the 3 star with offers to schools like Albany a better player. Reminds me of our recruiting under Ollie.

Cuse board already trying to talk themselves into him over Donovan. A few posters saying they like Mulvey’s tape better.

Boeheim and Izzo won't be coaching much longer. Any 2022 recruits could have a new coach and will be looking for new homes (or having a new coach at some point in their careers). Boeheimo turns 76 this season and Izzo turns 66. Not many coaches above the normal retirement age coaching D1 basketball.

Izzo is 65. There are a ton of coaches in their late 60s.

Thanks @ToolzieFan that's a real nice clip of Donovan, sounds like a win win for the UConn program, both as a person and a player.
