How does he do against good players of similar size?

Even the NBA only has maybe 6 or 7 guys his size.

But honestly, he's just never really played anyone talented that's 6'10+ like the bigs will be in college usually. He certainly isn't getting that competition in HS, and his AAU team doesn't play on one of the top circuits either.

Only guy around his height I've seen him play against was Isaiah Miranda but Clingan probably had him by 2 inches and 60 lbs.

RI elite kid? Wears glasses? He's pretty talented--I think uconn has reached out.

I coach the 2023 group in aau so I will know many of the northeast kids we recruit.

How did Clingan look in that matchup?

Good, way too big for Miranda. I think Clingan is underrated, I think the people who do the rankings don't know how to rank him because of the competition.

That Miranda kid seems like a prospect to keep an eye on.

I'd like to see him in a game vs Chet Holmgren for sure.
 
I was at the game tonight. BC was in control for about 2/12 qtrs up by around 20, then what there was of a crowd energized East Catholic and they stormed back and forced OT. Had the lead but couldn't put it away at the foul line, then BC found Clingan for the game-winning hoop in the final seconds.

Having a big man like that (especially at the high school level) just changes the game. Everytime he gets the ball defenders are forced to swarm him with double & triple teams. That last play there were 3 guys on him and he still scored.

What a pleasure to see a big man catch high, keep the ball high, and turn and put it in..............let's hope he keeps it up when he's playing here.

Clingan has 4 fouls with 5 minutes left right now. Bristol up 7.

I really, really hope EC loses. I hate that they're allowed to play in a public school league. It's fricking stupid.

Disagree here. What’s wrong with having a powerhouse that’s a Catholic school? Coach Reilly develops his players and coaches better than almost anyone out there. If you really look at the roster it doesn’t scream “prep school league”. There’s something to be said for a good program that kids want to play for.

Edit: I realize now that you said public school league and not prep. But what’s the difference between them and St. Paul or Northwest?

The difference is they recruit better and it creates an unfair advantage.

I would like to know how Matt Curtiss who lives in Ellington goes to Northwest. I thought the enrollment at the Catholic high schools was based on geography? FYI, I am an East Catholic alum.

He probably wants to play for a good coach and program without having to live on some prep school campus in the woods as a high schooler.
 
So good to see a home grown stay home and not get unfairly recruited away. DC stay home at UCoñn so we Ct people can enjoy your play.

I don't think geography has anything to do with enrollment at Catholic schools other than how far someone wants to commute.

Could he go the Andrew Bynum route.

Or these kids want to play for a good coach and program and give themselves a better shot at making it to the next level. I don’t think EC does any “recruiting”...the program speaks for itself and kids are lining up to play there.
