I’ve been burnt enough to know that nothing is ever done until the player signs. That being said, I do think that it is very likely that Clingan is UConn bound by the end of next week. Here’s why:

- Michigan was seen as the biggest competition because they were his childhood team and their recent success with similar players. After that visit came and went it became pretty clear they weren’t the leader.

- Michigan fans seem to think they’re out. I honestly think Juwan Howard botched this one with his comments about not knowing anything about him until recently. I’m probably reaching a bit there though.

- Clingan is still scheduled to go on his official visit this weekend after going on an unofficial a few weeks back. I’ve heard of kids going on an official as a courtesy but not after they were just on an unofficial.

- Alex Karaban will be coming for a last second unofficial during Clingan’s visit. He was just here and is seen a pretty strong lean. I bet there is a commitment from him in the next week as well.

- Clingan wants to be done with the process soon and that doesn’t leave time for other players to get involved. Relationships with coaching staffs seem to be very important to him.

- He’s very connected to home. To be honest, with his background story, the local team should never lose.

Just some thoughts from a UConn fan. Feel free to pile on if I’m wrong.

Oh and as a “dog” I can smell other dogs and I suspect there are at least 2 additional UConn (or non-Syracuse) fans hiding in this thread and each has different tactic. What gives?
