2022 Recruiting: Donovan Clingan

[BigErnMcCracken]

Yeah. Howard isn't going to be a fan of this quote.

“I thought it would be a lot bigger than it actually was,” Clingan said of Michigan.

Might as well have said it was "okay" in size and felt good.

Is it the biggest I've seen? Well, it's the nicest.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I can't see how his stopping by "fresh off" his Michigan visit can be interpreted any way but positively.

From reading every posted article, I regard his re-visit to Storrs as a sign of DC's maturity in evaluating options. His quotes about Michigan reflect a thoughtfulness and patience in the process, which strikes me as very positive for him. I find that quite appealing.

 

[uconngb]

He's said that since day 1.

I make absolutely nothing of it. I said it was gonna make people on here nuts.

 

[Chin Diesel]

According to some of the other threads Mich St is bigger but not as nice as Michigan.

Watching you people trying to parse the meaning out of these throw-away quotes is one of the more the more painful things I can do with my time.

... lol, and yet here you are. That is the nature of these threads.

One interesting takeaway, IMO, is how carefully neutral Clingan's statements are. He's determined not to tip his hand and smart enough to know how to avoid doing it. I respect both of those things.

Think Dad may be coaching him on his choice of words at this point in his recruitment.. Smart kid.

For people who worry when Donovan talks about the proximity of UConn. Really means nothing. He’s just exploring options.

Now some will say the fact that he went out of his way to clear that up is a positive lmaoo. No matter what they say fans are going to read to much into it

I'd have that look too if a school dressed me up as a fruit.

As he should.

Has Cuse outsourced their recruiting pictures to JC Penney's or is the background of that shot the Syracuse skyline?

[Hey Adrien!]

Pretty cool that part Syracuse's recruiting visit process involves visiting a wax museum where you can dress up like a real Syracuse basketball player (jersey and all) and pose with a wax sculpture of the Hall of Fame coach himself, Jim Boeheim:

I'm not a recruiting guy,,, and I may just be an overly simple person. But seeing this picture , I understand this young fella is from Bristol? I have to think there is zero shot this guy is even considering coming here

 

[Ajs120102]

Seems like a kid going on official visits going through the motions every kid goes through. But he’s visiting UConn twice in a month and those other schools just once. So if he’s not interested in UConn as much as the others then that’s news to me.

Could have stopped after not a recruiting guy, because everything else after was wrong

Haha fair enough. Like I said I have a small brain so I'm a picture guy. Dan hurley could tell me to my face he was strongly thinking of coming here, I just don't buy it., something stinks with that photo

And I'll shut up now

 

[ConnHuskBask]

No, KO’s performance started to drop off before we won the title.

That's an interesting take.

 

[brihman]

That's an interesting take.

Interesting tell us more

 

[Woodson]

That's an interesting take.

Not that hard to follow, See Prince Ali

Guy loses one recruit.. and then goes on to win a national title. Clearly, all the signs were there!

You weren’t a little concerned when you heard a guy decommited after the staff went months without talking to him? Or was that the other guy who decomitted

We were two months removed from a national title? So, no, I wasn't concerned.

Anyone who claims they saw this happening is completely full of it.
