Sid suspended

[Ajs120102]

All in or get out. Like Hurley said, if AG or Sid can't find minutes on an 8-man team, it ain't happening. Sid couldn't figure it out or didn't have his own system in place to show that he wanted to make an effort, or so it seems.

Kills our chances at making an AAC tournament run, so for a fan this is just another season down the tubes even before it ends.

This season has been such a success in so many ways. AAC tournament aside. this wasn’t a season down the tubes.

JellyFam been a real success everywhere

Brought NYC basketball back! Back to the MAAC.

Sid seems like a nice kid with a fun personality, hope things work out for him elsewhere.

Disciplining Sid is the opposite of throwing the season down the tubes. It's Hurley laying down the law and setting an example for the younger players.

Not at all down the tubes, this season has been great. We'll see it all coming together starting next season.

Feel bad considering what he's gone through. Hope he can turn it around, if not here then somewhere else.

this has been the best season since 2013-14

Exactly. Kinda glad the season is ending soon. Ride the positive mojo into next season. Let the injuries heal. Get back 3-4 more players. This was a huge success of a season. Now if we do get an NIT bid but Sid Wilson isn’t back, does Hurley opt out of the invite? Matt Garry is out for the season we are down to 7 Schollys and one walk on

Well for postseason play. Obviously we're now on a fantastic long-term trajectory

I like Sid, a lot. He just struggles with some stuff. Hurley fights so hard for his guys. To get to this point, they felt they really didn’t have a choice.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Can’t handle your crap with your squad down to 8 guys?? Really really disappointing

 

[polycom]

Indefinite suspension at the end of the season. Missed curfew or failed drug test(UConn test not NCAA) . The betting starts now.

2015-16 was definitely more enjoyable with the AAC tournament run and first round NCAA win, but easily the best in the last 4 years

FAM not farm. As in family. They are big on fancy layups instead of dunks.

What is Jelly Fam? The movement bringing NYC basketball back to the top

The force of their movement has the possibility to grow into a brand well beyond just basketball.

I was thinking about this (what to do with an NIT bid) a week or so ago. It would probably lead to a heartfelt conversation with the team. If CV and possibly AG really wanted to play postseason, would Hurley shut them down?

Jelly fam was a "movement" started by some NYC kids to put NYC basketball back on the map. They were big on social media. Their signature move was making layups much more difficult than they should be. None of the kids panned out on the high major level unfortunately.

we're winning the aac tourney with 7 guys. thats all you need. cant turn down an auto bid.

 

[UCDaveD]

Lol if we get an NIT invite, we play. Tournament experience is important, especially for the younger guys.

From his IG earlier today

Kinda cryptic - young man has had a tough few years - losing his mom, going to St. John's to be close to home, hating it, transfering to UConn where he wanted to go to begin with, having to sit out, the coach he came to play for getting fired and then just never seemed to fit in. I hope he finds some happiness and peace with himself.

 

[cohenzone]

An aside. Rothstein is a writer who said “has went”?

 

[krinklecut]

Heart breaking really. Loses his mother, gets screwed by the NCAA and has to stop playing basketball. I would imagine having to sit out and watch a team from the sidelines isn’t the best place to grieve.

I don’t know what he did to get suspended or what he’s been doing all year, but folks with a “good riddance” attitude don’t have their priorities in line.

Hope Sid is able to figure it out.

 

[HooperScooper]

His 2nd suspension, I believe?

Hurley’s references to Sid have been less than glowing recently, so I wonder if this has been building for a while or due to a recent occurrence. Disappointing that he just has never figured out a way to build on his insane athleticism. I would imagine his future here is very much in doubt

Remember Hurley's post game press conference a few games ago where Hurley was going through the box score and praising most of the players about how they've improved and are good building blocks for next year? Didn't mention Sid or Alterique even after scanning the box score again and saying something like, "Yeah, that's everyone." (something like that). You could tell from that there was something going on.

It's disappointing. For Sid and for the team.
