Is this put on for recruits like spencer?

Nonetheless, feels like the season gets closer…

 

[Storrs South]

 

[August_West]

Let 'em fly, kehd

 

[superjohn]

Is Clingan still growing?

 

[UCLJ0211]

Maybe it’s just the camera, but Clingan already looks like his upper body filled out more in just a couple months.

[TheHorde]

That kind of tough self criticism is the mark of a winner. TN is going to have a very good year.

 

[August_West]

Now that,I love.

That's really good to hear, you don't hear that kind of talk from a lot of players.

Regardless of basketball the young man is going places in life with that attitude. Give him most of the credit but also give Hurley some credit for helping to mold young men.

Is Clingan still growing?

Right? I mean , those banners have to be up twenty feet or so and his head reaches half way up one of them !!

Wondering what the G League combine and coaching staff told him recently. Sounds like his mindset is that he knows he has what it takes to play professionally somewhere, but needs to be locked in from start to finish and prove it again on the court

Time will tell but I'm very excited to see a fully focused Newton with another year of maturity and development. He was a huge reason we turned it around after January

 

[HailUConn]

That’s the leadership, right there.

We are in good hands!

 

[Mister P]

 

[huskiesouth]

[sledog]

Why the # change from last yr?

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

I had no idea who "Hash" is. Only logical guess is Hassan

 

[Deleted at users request]

Top 5 pick next year.
Going to be cool and interesting seeing 5 capable shooters on offense. Should be a lot of room to attack the paint for guys like Castle, Newton, and Ball.

“Today is the end of last year. Today starts a new season, today starts a new year and now we’re trying to achieve the same goal with a whole new, different team. It’s going to be difficult, last year wasn’t easy, but we’re all willing to put the work in,” Donovan Clingan said, sweat dripping down his face.
