I didn't mean to call anyone out, but from his dads response he very clearly said not impressed with the fanbase. For all the bad posts on this board theres just as many good posts regarding current players and recruits. I obviously know that one or two bad posts or fans aren't representative of the whole fanbase so my point was just to be a little more careful cause you never know who is reading.
Unfortunately, i won't be at the game this Sunday but maybe fans attending can show some love to Donovan much like RU did with Cliff.

How about we stop telling the kid he has to leave BC for a prep school. Stop trying to manage his high school career. We all know that playing against better competition makes you better. Let the kid enjoy high school and play AAU ball in the summer. He is a talented 7 foot sophomore who will have his pick of schools in two years. I live in Chicago but if I was in state I would make as many of his Bristol Central games as I could and I would be smothered in UConn gear and cheering my rear end off for the kid. Let the positivity flow people.
How do you know he is enjoying his career at bc? Tripled team every night. Can't even walk up the floor without getting fouled by two players all night. Then fans calling you overrated all night even though being tripled teamed and fouled. Two more years of that doesn't seem enjoyable. Prep seems like a relief

Ya never know who is watching. Absolutely horrible look..
Understand the comments and thoughts but he isn’t doubled or tripled up the court at all or even in the post. As soon as he touches the ball he is smothered. Big difference. Tough to get in his head and bother him. Tough to body him too and play him tough. Just very tough all over to defend him. He is fine at BC right now. Just needs his supporting cast to play like they have the last three games for the rest of his career and BC will never lose his junior or senior year.

Personally, I don't know but there are many boneyard contributors who have stated that it is his and his family's intention that he stay four years at BC. Whether it is enjoyment or some other reason there is no need for boneyarders to tell the kid what is best for him. It's not as bad as a joke gone wrong but somewhat condescending considering the kid has been tall and pretty good at basketball for a few years now. I'm sure the kid and his family are aware of all of his options.
Pros: Hes only a sophomore, but shows nice touch and good footwork. Usually keeps the ball high.
Cons: Doesn't appear to have much of a vert (not at all unusual for 7' tall HS sophomores). Not getting better playing against kids 6'5" and shorter.
Definitely one to keep an eye on, but the numbers don't impress me. Even against Windsor. They're quick and athletic, but they aren't big or tall. Hopefully he enjoys the game Sunday, and his dad meets one or even two rude Memphis fans and cuts them from his list too.

They did against Maloney. His team made shots but Maloney didn't allow him to catch the ball

Life isn’t all basketball. A 15 year may want to spend his high school years with the friends and teammates that he grew up with. I am sure life for a 7 foot tall 15 year old has some challenges and being close to the people that care about him and have helped him through some very tough times has great value. Let the kid live as a teenager.

I am all for letting a kid live his life which is why I don't understand when people say he should stay at BC. Who knows what he really wants to do. He may prefer a life at a prep school. But to assume what he values more isn't really letting him live his life. Its projecting your value system onto his. Kids at his age in similar situations in the past also place a high important on basketball and a future career making a living off basketball.
