Sid Wilson Commits to UConn

[temery]

TBD

Only way he gets a waiver is if he tells the NCAA he's transferring to Duke.

 

[Hurleyman216]

If he wanted to play this season he would have had to transfer to Duke, UK or UNC

 

[Guapo]

What a way to start the weekend!

Corey Evans posted on TOS there's a chance to gets full eligibility and plays this year. Not sure how that can happen

 

[AtlantaHusky]

Holy crap good news. We are in bizarro world. I like it! Welcome to UConn Sid!

Watch the vid and you will see a semblance to a thicker Deandre Daniels, and that's not a bad thing.

Hope he can shoot like Deandre!

NCAA has accommodated for family tragedies before, on top of already getting flack for summer class transfers this summer. There's a chance

I was thinking DHam with better hops and not quite a developed outside game, but that works too.

Great news! I'm a little surprised but happy. At least the kid finally got it right! Hopefully he can play this year as it would be great to see him and Larrier starting at the forward spots.

Go Coach Chillz!!!!

I am so happy this young man is making this choice. It is his choice made for good reasons with consideration of his family. I also would love to see him get a little JC time along with his "other" coaches. I nearly lost my Dad in high school and again early in college. I am 65 and I can say that time shaped my life more than any other.

Rims beware with Sid & Kwintin flying high

Seems like Ollie has perfected the art of the rebound recruitment

Sid Wilson, Sr.: "Coach Ollie’s a stand-up guy. A lot of coaches would have taken it personal, but he was very welcoming, wanted him again."

@Storrs South

Mine is better. Sorry @Storrs South

Great news. Hopefully this portends an enhanced ability to land top-100 recruits.

The question is: why do all these guys keep going elsewhere in the first place?

Is jeff Emmett drunk or incapacitated right now??? Or maybe he thinks he transferred to Kentucky.

Not to snap at you bro but if you haven't been following the last couple days Borges' article clarifies Wilson's initial decision. Purvis wanted to stay at home and Larrier had been recruited a lot longer by Shaka Smart. The fact that all three ended up at Storrs speaks volumes to Ollie's ability to connect with recruits.

Awesome, great news

Ahahahah! My "Cue the Piss in the Soup" comes true.!
The question is, why are you so unhappy?
Shazaaam!

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Oh cool! I completely missed this too busy reading football board

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!!!!!
