He has amazing timing. He doesn't fall for fakes and knows when to stay vertical on the ground and when to go up. Amazing instincts for an 18 year-old and someone of his size.

He’s learning and getting better game by game. Already handling defending the post better. Followed the pick amazingly the the dunk on the miss later in the second half.

UF’s best player, their center who was supposed to be good, was 1/9 in the first half and only scored 8 points from the floor all game. He and Sanogo made him look bad.

His positioning is amazing for a freshman, always in the right spot. Makes it look easy at times.

Agreed. His only fouls have come reaching over someone for a rebound or a moving screen

From what I’ve seen, Kalkbrenner is no better than what Castleton brought tonight. With our overall depth, I wouldn’t be surprised if we steamroll Creighton.

As much as we're enjoying these games nobody is enjoying them more than Bristol Central coach Tim Barrette. He kept the kid home when it seemed like everyone else was saying the kid needs to go to prep or he won't be ready. The announcers are always shouting out Bristol Central and how well schooled Clingan is.

This. I was going to start a new thread: "Boneyarders: Apologize to Donovan!" All the so-called experts here judging that he made a bad decision staying at Bristol Central rather than going to one of the prep schools for better competition. It doesn't seem to have hurt him, has it? Give his high school coach (and Donovan himself) all the credit in the world. Let this be a lesson that maybe, just maybe, it's the COACH who means more to a player's development than the opposing players?

How many high school players did Donovan face who were even 6'5"?? He has been outplaying ALL the big men he's faced...as a freshman!!!
 
I love this game so much for Clingan. The fat dude on Florida made a hook shot over Donovan and then gestured to him that he was too small to guard him and threw an elbow at Clingan on the other side of the court. Donovan proceeded to dunk all over Florida and challenged everything at the rim. One of Clingan's alley oops he put his finger over his mouth while staring down the Florida bench running down the floor to silence them and then near the end of the game he did the Gator chop.
 
I questioned once, a few games ago, if he has good hands because in one game it seemed that he fumbled a few passes or rebounds. I was wrong- he receives passes great, he is grabbing rebounds and securing them, he is really good. I don't see any weaknesses at all, and he is going to get better. Please stay 3 years!
