You know our staff will get him right physically too,

Looking at the before and after pictures of the guys, particularly Sanogo, I was thinking the same thing.
 
Once he grows into his body..His coordination and foot work will improve.. Two or three years in our Strength Program will almost make him unguardable at the college level.. Not sure if he's the type of kid who is looking for offers from other Programs or not.. Would be nice to wrap up a commitment sooner rather than later so that Dan Hurley/staff can work on roster construction around him for future years.. Our stable of Bigs will present problems in the BE for a long time....Most of them will have NBA level talent.It's been awhile.. All good..

Anyone who says they don’t want him at UConn is a chode. Kid is a monster.

Right? His size is unreal. He's the kind of player that if he can even be an above average player, you can build a Final Four team around. The only downside with Clingan as a recruit is if he shows up and is able to hit 3s and isn't a dumpster fire on defense, he's a lottery pick after his freshman year. Good problem to have though.

samson has the same wingspan if his measurements were accurate even tho he's 4" shorter than clingan. nosepicker would love two guys with 7.5' wingspans in his zone. too bad.

16, this big and I don't care who's guarding him there (although the kid had some size 6'4-6'5 and athletic) thats a 2 dribble move and a slam by a big boy. Athletic move, impressive. Hope Dan Hurley is smarter than a couple guys here LOL

Actually, 90% of the talent at this camp play Nepsac, private or some other prep or private. That kid he banged on was 6ft 9 and goes to a prep school. So, apparently, even when he DOES play against "better competition" it still isn't good enough. Also, there was a 7 footer from New York there that was guarding Donovan and got hurt during play. I spoke to his dad last night and he told me it was a pretty good camp and filled me in on alot of the action. Lot's of size. This camp was for small forwards to bigs so there were no guards here. Kid is 16......16! Lol, many of you have seen that he is staying at Bristol Central and have commented about how he MUST play against better competition. Guess what, he isnt going anywhere. We have all seen the articles in ESPN and the Courant. I think we need to get past that and just stop hitting that dead horse with that stick. Alot of our fans are good with it, but for some reason, there are those that just can't get past it. Not for nothing, I have seen consistent improvement in his game and I believe he is more than good enough to be a Husky. But I guess there is no pleasing everybody.

It's basically one person, kid is awesome and a really great kid from everything I've heard. 2 seasons at Bristol Central and then less than an hour away to represent his state U. Sounds like a plan.

Don’t let one guys ridiculous comments paint a negative picture. We want Clingan!!! #1 priority!! hometown hero!!!
 
It's not my decision, it's his. His.father told me it's like this on almost all of the boards for the teams that have offered. He told me not to comment on them. It's just the way the world works he said. Can't please everyone and there are alot of keyboard coaches out there.

Tell his pops to not worry about any fan bases and fan boards, even Michael Jordan had critics. This is a great kid with a great gift for basketball. They've been through a lot, things are going to only get better for pops and son.

Nice input thank you. Happy he’s staying put at BCHS says a lot about him. Hope we get him because that’s a good kid with a monster ceiling. And home state kid to top it off!

It's a shame @TopDogCamp was taken and he had to go with @TopDogCamp1.
