Shortly before entering fifth grade, in the summer of 1996, Clinkscales—standing 4 ft 8 in (1.42 m)—was noticed in an ABCD Camp in Teaneck, New Jersey. The camp was designed for college-level basketball hopefuls, but Clinkscales dribbled on the court in between games and drew attention from coaches. His performance at the camp led to his national recognition, after he was featured by Slam, was labeled a “prodigy” by the New York Post, and appeared on the TV programs The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Rosie O’Donnell Show. Thereafter, Clinkscales received college recruitment letters from the Kansas Jayhawks and USC Trojans.

The freshman commented, “The best thing I can do is pass. I really don’t have to look at them (my team members). I just tell them to be ready.” On December 18 he put up 13 assists, along with seven points and three steals, to help beat UIC. It was Clinkscales’ first career start, as he substituted for Drake Diener. In a win over Old Dominion on January 2, 2005, he replaced Sammy Mejía and scored nine points for his best scoring performance of the season. Clinkscales also recorded six assists and a season-high four rebounds in the contest. He closed the season averaging 2.5 points, 3.4 assists, and 0.9 rebounds in 15 minutes per game.
