Kimani Young is some kind of recruiter. Guy just doesn’t miss.

That’s the beauty of a grad transfer

I agree. We need a scorer wing. Unfortunately with Jackson, Martin and Hawkins that could be a tough sell. In a perfect world one of them is the answer. Martin and a transfer wouldn’t affect 22 and probably not a freshman Hawkins but Jackson would need to see some time this year. We’ll see how it shakes out.

Really love this commitment. Kid sounds smart, mature (as @superjohn noted) and humble but hungry. He strikes me as a kid ready to put in the work. On his body and game by playing flat out at both ends when he’s on the court. He fits the identity Hurley is building for the team. No prima donas need apply, just dogs who want to win.

Why is he at Villanova?

Why is he at Villanova?

It's from the post game press conference after the game in Philly last January

I wish I could give this 100 likes!! I loved it back then and I love it more today!!!

Why is he at Villanova?

Hurley recruited their arena, and it chose us over Nova.

Would it have anything to do with CFJr saying he wants to bring Clingan with him?

 

[Umami Zen]

Agent Sool puts in the work yet again...

Saw that coming back during the AllStar game.. But who am I to say that??

 

[nadavtheman]

Lil Sool could be the best recruit to recruit ever!!!!

 

[Brochacho]

This is a fun development. Hope Floyd can recruit like Sool!

Syracuse board has a 21 page thread on Donovan Clingan. There isn't a more delusional fanbase in sports.

Welcome Corey!
Life is good.

 

[UCDaveD]

Did anyone say yet?

 

[Ricker]

Now that's a good interview (Schuz). Impressive well spoken kid with objectives as a student as well as basketball. Specifically targeting Donovan Clingan. I knew he had many connections to other programs through the players he has competed with as teammates, but I didn't realize his dad played for Providence and they were a strong finalist with us and Nova. Great recruiting job by Hurley and Sool given all these relationships. No mention of Rutgers being a real threat, which seemed different than publicized

 

[Austin316]

Welcome!

This is arguably more exciting than pizza or sandwiches. And that's saying something around here, imo.

Pet insurance > Floyd commitment > sandwiches

Seriously, this is just great. We have really turned things around. So nice. WHO'S NEXT?

 

[Watchdog]

Gave me the chills.

Well done, and no fooling around with multiple hats!
Came out, sat down and showed he's picked the right school, with a smile on his face and an obviously happy rooting gallery!

Pretty subdued for an announcement video!!!

Showed a lot of class the way it all played out, especially the four trophies!
