I noticed they list Donovan at 7'1 now which seems a bit strange because he looked to measure at 7'2 during the summer, normally they add an inch or two to your height.

Bill Walton effect?

Walton infamously wanted to be listed at 6'11" so as to not be stereotyped as a 7' player and expectations of what 7 footers are supposed to do and how they are supposed to play.

Friend of mine lives in Burlington, CT and said their high school, Lewis Mills, is playing Bristol Central tomorrow. Said Lewis Mills isn't very athletic and the tallest player is maybe 6-2.

That’s certainly how it was when I played there (class of ‘00). Then again, that’s how the whole Berkshire League was.

Fixed it for you:

Donovan,

"Enjoy the ride son, and choose where YOU feel most comfortable. It's not about me, your friends, or high school classmates having access to seeing you play in person in college. You'll be spending four (three or less if you become the NBA-ready stud many predict) of the most precious years of your life in a campus environment that you will appreciate forever. I know Hurley, Izzo, Boeheim and Ewing, among many others, want you, and that must be pretty heady stuff. And I know how much you loved your mom, and would like to do what she would have wanted. But understand this son........................................what your mom would have wanted most is for you to choose for yourself. Whether that be Storrs, East Lansing, Syracuse, Washington D.C., or elsewhere, your mom and I will always be in your corner."

"See you Gampel Fall 2022"

Love,

Dad

You can bet they're drumming Dickinson into his head. You know, we made him what he is today otherwise he'd be at some D2 joint sweeping floors after games.............

How can someone who has seen him play not be impressed, I mean what about his game is not impressive? 34 ppg and 14 rb pg has to count for something and he’s far from finished with high school. Bristol Central’s league, the CCC is not exactly chopped liver.

Plus he's a JUNIOR. And, he seems to be a thoughtful, intelligent, respectful and hard working kid who values those close to him.
Some people here don't seem to pay attention to the trajectory on which kids develop, especially kids over 7 feet tall. Look at the Purdue center (7'4"?). He can barely run but is making a contribution as a freshman.
DC is so much more able as a junior in high school and is improving each year. Imagine two years from now, after a summer in the S&C program at UConn, nearing the end of his freshman year, being named Big East Freshman of the Year!
Hang on to your hats as it could mean #5 or #6 are on the horizon.

1) I spelled it incorrectly.
2) It's often incorrectly used, when "supposedly" would be correct.
3) In this particular thread, "supposed" was incorrectly used, when "supposedly" would have been correct.
4) I quoted Mau's post when I think it should have been Chin's.

Otherwise, I see nothing wrong.

Maybe you don't, but supposeably there's a petition being circulated to ban you for spelling errors. :rolleyes:

Is there one to make missed layups OK too, "because they're so close"?

Whether intended or not, you used supposeably correctly, though you misspelled it, and used the incorrect tense for the verb "to be."
 
Seeing that only 4 out of the Top 50 recruits have committed so far, when’s the next “big wave” of signings expected?

I think people confuse it with supposeable. As in the difference between us and most non-primates is that we have supposeable thumbs.

What is TOS? I know it's in reference to another message board, but I am wondering where the name came from. Is it an acronym for "That Other Site" or something like that?

TOS = "The Other Site" = Rivals

Beyond that, Tom doesn't want us talking about this subject any more and I think that's a very good idea.

In the Mid -West when having a conversation with someone and they agree with your view point/premise . They will simply say " I s'pose". Have personal experience in this highly nuanced regional folk term as I'm married to a Mid-Westerner who uses this phraseology frequently.

Hans-- I agree with your succinct analysis.

Bristol Press:

It was Senior Night for the Bristol Central boys basketball team on Monday, but it was a dominating performance by the juniors that helped the Rams stay perfect.

Led by Donovan Clingan’s career-tying 37 points, Bristol Central beat Plainville 74-41to improve to 9-0 on the season.
Clingan scored 16 of his points in the second quarter as the Rams built a 23-point halftime advantage, but the Blue Devils clawed their way back with an aggressive pressure defense that flustered Bristol Central in the third period. Plainville was able to cut the gap to 12 as the game headed into the final period.
It was all Rams in the fourth, however, as Bristol Central outscored Plainville 21-2 to put the game away. Clingan capped his 37-point night with his first 3-point basket of the season before head coach Tim Barrette moved to an all senior lineup for the closing minutes.
Clingan had a strong supporting class from guard Damion Glasper and Victor Rosa, who scored nine points each, while Carson Rivoira and Sean Wininger who controlled the board.
Tyshawn Johnson led Plainville (1-8) with 19 points and Omarion Miller added 10.
 
He’s not coming here so no sense worrying about it. He’s going to the lumbering big man conference that doesn’t win championships. He would be much better served at UConn playing in a faster, physical conference, but the heart wants what the heart wants.
