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.
