Thanks Kong. Godspeed.

 

[Marat]

That was fast !

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I was so excited for Clingan to come to UConn and even though I had very high expectations for him, he vastly exceeded each and every one of them.

Two-time champ and now future lottery pick!

 

[Blue Idiaco]

Great kid, great representative for the school and two-time champ. Stay healthy and fit and dominate the league next!

 

[navery12]

Good for Donovan, hopefully he gets his name on the wall as a lottery pick

 

[How Sway?!]

We really about to have two top 5 picks

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Congrats! Warrior and two time champ. Thank you Donovan.

 

[80shusky]

Good luck young man and thank you!

 

[CL82]

Sorry to see him go, but I am very happy for him. He's a tremendous kid and absolutely deserving of this opportunity.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Tough day for "he's not ready" guys. Top 10 pick incoming. Probable 9 figure contract to follow about 4 years from now

 

[HuskyBoi]

Congratulations Donny.

You are a hero. I never rooted more for a UConn player in my life.

I’m so happy to be as wrong as I was about Clingan when he was first coming in. One of our more impactful players ever during his time here.

He will be immensely missed and teams will be silly to let him slip out the top 5.

#1 castle

#2 okafor
#3 gordon

 

[Fatroony5]

Top ten pick at worst, quickly quiets down all the people saying he should come back to be the big guy on campus and work on his offense. Smh. Congrats Cling Kong, absolute legend! Go crush it in the league young fella

 

[Vuce]

Legend!

 

[gsmooth]

Congrats, Donovan. Thank you for choosing UConn to play your college basketball.

 

[djct1999]

What an amazing two year run!!!! Congratulations to Donovan for all the good still to come!

He’ll always be just a kid from Bristol.

 

[ec33]

Best of luck Donovan. You will be missed, but that is a good thing.

I'll be honest, I don't think my expectations for a kid ever flipped as fast as they did for Donovan. I didn't watch much of his high school tape and figured he was a project feasting on 6-3 centers. I think it took about 10 seconds of playing time for me to think "holy this kid's a monster."

Good luck kid. What a legacy. Irreplaceable.

 

[Rico444]

That was fast !

I actually like that he did it now. Now he won't have to tiptoe around his future when talking to the crowd.

Thank you Donovan for everything you've done for our program and state!

 

[Bomber36]

DC deserves everything he has coming! Thanks for the memories!

 

[Greathusky]

As hard as it is to lose players to the draft, it is exciting to bring in new blood and watch the Carpenter mold the newcomers into Husky basketball.

 

[Wise2]

Best of Luck, you will be hard to replace. It was a special two years that we had with you. Make us proud. Go get it...

Tough day for "he's not ready" guys. Top 10 pick incoming. Probable 9 figure contract to follow about 4 years from now

realistically there cant be too many of these people left for castle or clingan i would hope

 

[ctchamps]

Best of luck Donovan. You are a giant among men in more ways than one.

Declaration to remove any doubts from bigs in the portal that we're targeting.

UConn Legend! I’m not an nba fan but give me a reason to root for Clingian again. One of my all time favorites. Couldn’t be more happy for him. Plus if he stayed that was unfair to college basketball!
