I agree that anyone judging a young big based on one game, whether he was injured or not, is an idiot. As someone who follows UConn and the fan base pretty closely I get the impression of the following things regarding DC:

- His ceiling is as high as just about anyone UConn has recruited in the past decade but  as any 7+ footer would be, he’s still figuring it out.

- The fan base really wants DC to come to UConn but people have been split on whether it’s likely. If he continues to want to be near his family, that’s really good for us.

- Not to be argumentative, but the only school we view as threat to land him (other thanis Michigan. The reasons being that he grew up a fan, Hunter Dickinson, and Juwan Howard. That’s a really tough thing to go up against. Assuming they prioritize him and he’s willing to leave the state, no one else has a chance.

- How does Clingan fit in defensively on a Hurley team? For those who don’t know, Hurley’s teams are very similar defensively to Houston. They require athletic, mobile bigs who can hard hedge and switch along the perimeter. That’s why Samson Johnson and Akok Akok are perfect for the team. Even Sanogo developed as the year went on. Can he develop into a hyper mobile big? I honestly think that from a defensive standpoint Syracuse would be perfect at this stage in his development. He would be a monster on the back line.

These is just my general sense of the fan base.
