Sid Wilson Commits to UConn

[MSGSeven]

The fact that all three ended up at Storrs speaks volumes to Ollie's ability to connect with recruits.

I agree 100% but many would disagree however I guess that the divorce and the fact that some think that lessened KOs religious values/image had little to do with Sid Wilson's decision = thank God!!!

Seriously;

I really wish the kid went the direction his heart wanted to go when he first made his decision and the eligibility issue would be a non issue

I am happy that he reversed - WELCOME Sidney and family!!!!!

His initial decision probably got us Kwintin Williams now we got em both.

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Sid!!!

 

[80shusky]

Welcome aboard Sid! Looking forward to your contributions to our next championship.

This is a classic example of the importance of thinking things out and making the right decision from the start. A mistake cost him the ability to play right away. No way the NCAA grants a waiver. It sets a bad precedent if you let kids bail on their commitment without repercussions. Schools make plans based on the commitments and stop recruiting other players.

Wow just got off a horrible 12 hour shift and saw this. We finally found a little luck. Thank the lord, get a little momentum

Attitude. Love the right attitude.

all of our transfers (and 99% of our recruits) under Ollie have been high character guys. that's one thing Ollie can't get a knock on even from those who like him least

Definitely not a casual gloater.

 

[Chief00]

long shot but the staff is working!

Yeah, that would surprise me - death of mother and classification of summer classes at SJU are the arguments. Neither seems compelling to me - hope I am wrong on that but may be best to essentially work on game, strength and school for a year anyways.

If we're gonna brag about calling stuff ... from the day he committed to St. John's

You did get the direction correct - the timing was much quicker than predicted.

"He never really attended really (sic, real?) classes [at St, John's], just a couple of workouts," Wilson Sr. said, "so I think there's a great chance for a waiver. But we're ready to go either way, we're committed to UConn."

Sidney Wilson, A 6-7 Wing, Coming To UConn

Confusing.

I'm just pleased to see that Sid Jr and Sid Sr are a combined 20 toes in this time around.

Got to love Chris Mullins. I say that sincerely.
