Clingan and Rosa excited about continuing journey to UConn (Keefe @ The Day):

-> "We're both competitive and we both love each other's sports," Rosa said. "He works his butt off in basketball and I work my butt off in football. And we're both accomplishing our dreams and it's a blessing that we are."

Rosa kept his commitment to UConn despite a coaching change, with Jim Mora being hired to take over the program last month.

Clingan's happy that he'll be able to share his college experience with Rosa.

"Just having a best friend like that being on the same campus as me, it means a lot to me," Clingan said. "He thought about switching and going to a different school. I told him, stay in your hometown, make a name for yourself and build your brand, that's big. <-

Nice to see Clingan making assists already. Both players should be exciting to watch. Rosa looks to be very fast and strong as well.

Yes, apparently it's possible we lose Rosa if not for Clingan. Lucky break for the football team.

I think Victor made that decision on his own after speaking with Mora. He liked what he heard.

That’s my sense too, but having the BFF also planning to be on campus didn’t hurt.

If he played at a big time high school in a football state, then he would have had lots of offers from the top football programs. We are very lucky to have him.
