Michigan State Basketball offers 7’1″, 2022 center Donovan Clingan

MSU Basketball has offered top-50 prospect Donovan Clingan from Bristol Central High School.

On Sunday, it was reported that Michigan State Basketball had met with 7-foot-1, 2022 center Donovan Clingan in a virtual meeting. On Monday, Clingan announced that he received an offer from MSU.

Clingan is a top-50 player in his class and an absolute statistical monster. Clingan averaged 24.8 points, 17.2 rebounds, and 6.4 blocks per game last year for Bristol Central High School in Connecticut.

Given his size and abilities it’s no surprise that Clingan already has offers out from Boston College, UConn, Iowa, Rutgers and more as a variety of major programs will definitely be trying to get in on the Clingan sweepstakes.

With 2022 recruiting in full swing, this will be an interesting player for fans to keep an eye on. Something Izzo has lacked on his teams of late is size in the front-court and a future tag team of Mady Sissoko and Clingan could be scary for opposing teams.

Michigan State basketball staff virtually meets with top-50 sophomore Donovan Clingan

MSU’s staff met with seven-foot prospect Donovan Clingan as the recruiting communication period opens for the class of 2022.

The recruiting world for basketball players in the class of 2022 is about to heat up.

Starting at midnight eastern on Monday, June 15, college basketball coaches are permitted to start contacting ’22 prospects. But Michigan State’s staff was virtually meeting with top sophomore Donovan Clongan prior to the midnight start, according to Jake Weingarten of Stockrisers.com.

As Weingarten mentions, Clingan was permitted to contact MSU’s staff prior to midnight and it’s a safe bet Tom Izzo and staff weren’t about to commit a recruiting violation for a 30-minute head start. Nonetheless, Izzo and co. are making an early move for Clingan, a seven-foot center out of Bristol, CT. The Spartans are yet to offer the big man, but one could be on the horizon soon.

Clingan is a prolific scorer, rebounder, and shot blocker according to MSU hoops savant Seouljaa.

With the communications between coaches and players now open in both directions, it’s safe to assume MSU will be starting to make it known which rising prospects they are honing in on for their 2022 class.
