Syracuse basketball was the first school to offer 2022 four-star big man Donovan Clingan, with that scholarship offer coming nearly two years ago.
The Orange high-priority target has spoken highly of the ‘Cuse program on many occasions, and he’s noted the importance of Syracuse basketball coaches believing in him early on.
Will that help catapult the Orange toward picking up a commitment from the 7-foot-1 center? That remains to be seen. As we’ve noted more than once of late, the buzz among some analysts is that Michigan and Connecticut are the teams to beat in this recruiting battle, although Clingan keeps things pretty close to the vest.
