Okay, so I got curious the other day about Donovan Clingan, you know, the big guy from UConn basketball. He’s seriously tall, and it got me wondering just how tall his parents might be. You figure genetics play a big part in that kind of height, right?
My Search Journey
So, I decided to do a little digging. First thing I did was just a basic search, something like “Donovan Clingan parents height”. Pretty straightforward.
Got a bunch of results back, mostly articles about Donovan himself, his stats, his college career. Some mentioned his parents, especially his mom, Stacey Clingan, because she was also a basketball player. That seemed like a good lead.
I refined my search a bit, trying “Stacey Clingan height”. That seemed to hit the mark better. Several sources popped up mentioning her height. It consistently came up as 6 feet 4 inches. That’s pretty tall, makes sense she played ball.
Alright, one down. Next, I needed to find out about his dad, Bill Clingan. So, I searched for “Bill Clingan height”. This one was maybe a little less prominent in the search results compared to his mom, probably because she had the notable basketball career. But, I kept scrolling through a few articles and forum discussions.
Eventually, I started seeing mentions of his dad’s height too. The figure that kept appearing was 6 feet 5 inches. A bit taller than his mom.
Putting it Together
So, after poking around for a bit, here’s what I found:
- Mother (Stacey Clingan): Around 6’4″
- Father (Bill Clingan): Around 6’5″
It wasn’t super hard to find, but I did have to sift through articles primarily focused on Donovan to get the specifics on his parents. It definitely adds up, though. With parents that tall, it’s no surprise Donovan reached the height he did. It was just a quick search out of curiosity, but interesting to confirm how genetics likely stacked up in his favor height-wise.
