Class of 2022 C Donovan Clingan (CT) Offered

[jdubs30]

With his family back story, this seemed to be a logical and forgone ending. Glad he can be near his family for a while longer, until his NBA career.

His mom passing obviously was a huge deal in his life ... gotta respect honoring what she wanted

 

[Cusesky8214]

best of luck to the kid...I understand it but man...it will be interesting to see how it plays out for him.

 

[PauliePeppas]

And Shifty will disappear now haha...it was ALWAYS Uconn

 

[orangefog]

Good for UConn. Nice player.

 

[UpstateSM]

Four beers deep right now come back in 8 more to tell you guys he wasn’t a take

 

[Bulldog04]

I’m actually surprised. It was Michigan talk for a long long time. We knew it wasn’t going to be cuse, but man how do you go play for that lunatic... best of luck DC I’m actually glad this is over with

 

[Scott11]

I always roll my eyes when we don’t get a recruit and people fall all over themselves to say what a great kid he is and wish him well etc. But as much as I hate UConn I feel happy for this particular kid and his family and hope he prospers despite the garbage coaching he will receive.

 

[50YRsofCuse]

Sorry but understand his decision to play close to home. Wish him well and also glad that he did not drag the decision out over the summer and into 2021-2022 season.

 

[Orangezoo]

Wish the kid the best and for his sake, not UConns I hope Hurley learns how to coach a real big. Otherwise he might be portaling next summer.

He picked his family he didn't pick the pups

All the "walk on" accounts are trolling accounts by UCONN fans.

I know this is old but I’m just new here and not a UCONN fan (although I am from CT)

I think what he meant was, it is pretty obvious when a "walk on" poster starts posting on only UConn related posts. I don't know why they come on and pretend to be Syracuse fans, it's pathetic. Just come on here and say "I am a UConn fan" and then let's have an intelligent and respectful discussion. I can't stand UConn, but I don't dislike a person because he or she is a UConn fan.

 

[Orangezoo]

Let's hope Hurley doesn't figure out though that with the recruits coming in and the current roster he could have a team he could run zone with to keep DC on the floor longer. Teams will absolutely run him through PNRs until he can prove he can defend it

 

[DoctorBombay]

Stop.

 

[Briancuse]

Sucks he went to uconn but never really thought he was coming here. We have some good options at center.

 

[tee1222]

This one is appropriate as if memory serves me correctly, Chubbs offered this at the Waterbury Open in CT.

 

[jgeorge322]

He’s staying home to play for the in-state school. He seems very close to his family. Good for him. I think he will be a good player but it takes more than one good player to win games.

 

[Dinkyspond]

Don't forget to say hi to mau. And don't forget to tell him that over the last 10 years, UConn has at best a .500 in league record. That is a program that isn't what it used to be. And quite frankly, it isn't s surprise that no one, I am mean no one, wanted them in their league when expansion came. But please, post often.

They do have 4 national championships. We have 1, quite a bit of catching up to do.

If playing at UConn makes him happy, then I am ecstatic for Donovan.

There is no disputing that. We are ahead on a number of other measures of success. One clings to the things that most puts us in a good light. We love the orange they love the huskies. Who cares?

Doesn't mean much now. With all that glory, not one P-5 conference wanted them. And as I said, for the last 10 years, they have been a .500 league record team. They are yesterday. When I look at a old calendar, I think of them.

Half of them were giftwrapped to them.

The kids they're recruiting now don't remember most of them

 

[Dinkyspond]

The kids they're recruiting now don't

That would be like saying our national championship of 2003 doesn't mean much which I disagree with. Their last championships were in 2011 and 2014, not very long ago. We hang our hat on a 2013 Final Four, also during that timeframe, I don’t think of that as old. I am no UConn fan or apologist but it's not like their national championships were 40 years ago. They are recent enough to be relevant today.

Also, Syracuse has not exactly set the world on fire since joining the ACC, hovering around .500 in the conference as a middle of the pack team. We have been a bubble team for 7 consecutive years. I will reiterate that I am no fan of UConn but you can't discount or diminish what they've accomplished since 1999. If we had their 4 national championships we would be rightfully gloating.
