Any updates on Sid Wilson?

Anthony Latina is doing an admirable job at Sacred Heart. I see no reason for him to leave unless he wants to bigger stage.

No.
I meant what about Sid Wilson to Sacred Heart
 
This is nothing but intuition, but I really don't think that Sid is transferring so that he can get more playing time at a mid-major. I really think that he's transferring because he can contribute minutes to a legitimate P7 school. I also think its not crazy to say that he will be able to do that either.

I ask this with complete sincerity. What is it that Sid does real well? I saw a guy that was very athletic, but sorely lacking in basketball skills like dribbling and passing.

I wish Sid the best wherever he goes, but wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he's a guy who continues to show flashes but that's about it.

Given Sid's athleticism, there is no question that "if" things come together he could contribute as a rotation player to a major college program. But given his track record to date, including the fact that he couldn't get minutes on a team that only had 8 scholarship players, and the fact that it will take two scholarship years to have him on the court for one season, I'd be surprised if a major wants him. If you're Fordham maybe you take a flyer, but I'd be surprised if he ends up at a higher level than the bottom of the A-Ten.

There is an all too common difference between having D1 talent and being a D1 player. No one could watch a Sid highlight reel and say he is not a D1 talent. However if you watch a five or ten minute clip you see a lack of commitment (or lack of BBIQ) to playing as a team.

His BBQ would certainly improve at a Southern school.

P7?

I bet that kept Jim Calhoun and Dan Hurley up at night, worried about Chief’s dangling prepositions? This is what you are up against at UConn, while the academics here want us to clean up prepositions to booster recruiting; UL is having stripper parties, LSU is buying cars and UNC is fabricating classes. No wonder why Chief’s Grind is 24/7.

It wasn't your prepositions they were worried about...... :rolleyes:

Sid recently posted a picture with Isaiah Washington basically saying they wanna get the band back together. Where one goes, the other may follow.

Almost no chance he gets to the NBA, so as long as he gets his degree it'll be a successful college experience. If he does so while with buddies, that's something we can all appreciate.

Has to get that degree though.

He rebounded an blocked shots plus improved his shot trajectory . He had productive minutes playing at a high level
He did a heck of a lot more his sophomore year than Whaley did in his, so belittling him is silly.
That he can’t contribute at a high level is basketball nativity. That he actually does contribute is just a question of how hard he works at it.
 
I think Sid could be a real contributor on many D1 programs including some P5/P6
He needs to screw on his head correctly and go out and work his butt off
Athletically he is a rare player, I've seen him do things in practice that Bouk would find extremely difficult at best. I've seen him drain countless 3s in practice with hands in his face.
He isn't a Dan Hurley type player, that being said, as AZHuskyPop stated, belittling him is really poor. Much of this sentiment comes to him being a KO recruit - childish take IMHO
 
.-.
He really is an athletic freak and would standout in the right conference. I think he fits nicely in the A10 at a school like VCU, URI, St. Bonny, or even Dayton. Some of these schools have big holes to fill.

I wasn't belittling him in any way I just didn't see enough skills for him to contribute sustained minutes. I saw a guy who would offer flashes and highlights but never good fundamentally sound basketball.

Sending games to overtime with last second corner threes.
Small sample size admittedly.

True, but I know guys who went four years and never did that.
 
Sid is a curious case and I find it really interesting that he only has one offer.

I see Sid succeeding best in a school that generates offense by pushing the tempo, specifically a team that plays five-out. On that note, I think of Saint Joseph's out of the A-10 being a nice fit.

Good conference, a 2nd year coach with a lot of commitment to the team and a nice recent of haul of transfers between Ryan Daley, Dahmir Bishop, Greg Foster, Myles Douglas and Jack Forrest.

I think URI and Sid would be a great match.

Like others here though have expressed, Sid could hoop at any P5, P6, P8, or even P9, school.

Got to disagree though with the poster who said he’d fit in at a P7. Takes a special type of player to make it at a P7. :rolleyes:

Only a D+ homecourt advantage??

It's either because the roster import had UConn as the Knicks so that is MSG (for the Knicks of course, UConn would be A+) or that they used FedEx Forum to built out the XL Center so it's a D+ for the Memphis Grizzlies. I don't think the design import on Xbox assigned that.
