Class of ’22 big man Donovan Clingan visits Michigan, Syracuse up next
By ADAM ZAGORIADonovan Clingan, the 7-foot-1 big man from Bristol Central (CT) and Team Spartans, took his first official visit to Michigan this past weekend.
“It was fun, I enjoyed it,” he said. “They like my game and think I’d be a good fit.”
Clingan said he watched film of former Michigan big man star Hunter Dickinson, and Juwan Howard and his staff compared the two. The 7-foot Dickinson was just invited to the NBA G League Elite camp in Chicago ahead of the NBA Draft.
Clingan will next visit Syracuse (June 19-20) before tripping to Ohio State (June 24-25) and UConn July (1-2). He also plans to visit UConn unofficially later this month.
Syracuse has recently had visits from Class of 2022 wing Justin Taylor and big man Kyle Filipowski.
