Donovan Clingan is the 7-foot-3 face of UConn basketball

[CL82]

Would 7-3 be more of a "curiosity" than 7-2?

Yes. 1 inch more, to be exact.

Wow, great article and great kid. Uconn is extremely lucky to have him.

That's about where I fell apart.

Same!

1.15% more to be exact. Not sure what that converts to in Hilton units.

Incredibly touching piece about Donovan and his family….thanks for posting

 

[Hey Adrien!]

If you have about an hour and want to know anything and everything about Donovan Clingan, then read this Mike Anthony article. Longest UConn article I've ever seen.

“Am I going to perform the way I want to this year? Am I going to live up to the expectations?” Clingan says. “In the back of my head, it’s just [that] I’m going to go out there and prove them all wrong and do more. I get nervous at times but I just try to flip my mentality, like, ‘I’m going to dominate. This is my year.’ My future, it’s not really something to be nervous about. I’ve just got to put the work in. It’s all up to me to determine where I go and what I do next.”

Donovan Clingan is the 7-foot-3 face of UConn basketball. He's still a small town CT kid at heart.

The Bristol, Connecticut, native has been labeled a lottery pick in the 2024 NBA draft for his size, athleticism and the promise he showed in his freshman year.

Fantastic piece.

I think this article should be pinned until it gets at least 100 reactions. What a story. Thank you Clingan family & Mike Anthony for telling the tale. We UConn hoops fans are #Blessed
