Sid Wilson haters reveal yourselves

[UCDaveD]

He’s been the best player on the floor and it’s not even close.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Yes. Would be great if we could rebound against a low major though.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

This is like one of those "tallest midget little person" awards.

Edit: Fixed.

 

[YoungFree]

Can someone tell him to get somebody, anybody to rebound?

 

[Get a Job]

I thought he played like hot garbage last season. I think he is awesome tonight. If that makes me a hater, consider myself revealed.

 

[HHusky]

Whoa nelly. It's only one half of the 1st game.

 

[Huskyforlife]

I said it when Andre committed, Sid and Andre will be the most athletic wing duo in the country, he's only just begun developing.

 

[husky429]

The kid got pulled because he didn't know our zone offense. Let's not get carried away. He is physically dominating an inferior team, as he should.

I am hesitantly optimistic. Stroke still looks bad, still can't dribble or pass, but if he can play tough at the rim as a 4, he'll make his scholly worth it.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Ha. I’ve been hoping for big things from Sid. His development is key for us.

 

[444JR]

Would've been nice to seem him finish that left handed layup after the lovely spin move

 

[mauconnfan]

Just got ESPN3 back and he just had a very bad run. Didn’t see the first half but glad he played well then. Not so much just now.

Akok Akok is underwhelming based on what gamecast tells me. Looked good for a minute when we were up 19....now 11

He’s been better than the box score. Looks like he belongs. Has a good presence and had multiple blocks.

 

[UconnU]

Wilson looks great. That last rebound and put back was like nothing we saw from him last year. Brendan Adams too. Our sophomores look much improved.

Good. I like the 22 point win but the first half looked bad from stat only world

we have not tried to run him outside on the offensive end. That’s what I, waiting to see

 

[MDeL04]

As Hurley just put it “the first half was embarrassing”. Thank God they turned it on in the second half.

Yeah he's nervous on offense. The bunnies near the rim he's missing will fall. Some BIG TIME blocks today from him

He didn't show that driving ability in hs. Tried a left hand a couple times too. SOOOO much potential here

 

[intlzncster]

I didn't think Akok looked good. Challenged a few shots, couple of good blocks. That's about it. Woof on the FT

1st game, so I'm not fussed.

Never went outside either. Lots of skill, seems to lack that instinct to enforce his will on the game right now. But it will come.

I'd call 4 blocks more than just challenging a few shots.

 

[UConnDan97]

Sid is for real, and he's only going to get better...

 

[intlzncster]

I had edited that post to include the blocks bit. But this is Sacred Heart. If he had 2 blocks against Sacred Heart, it would have been a failure.

The potential is certainly there though. I think that much is evident. I'm excited to see his development.

I just think people are a little too excited about what guys can do against a team like SH. I'd expect dudes like Sid, and Brendan, and Akok to shine against these lesser type guys.

We'll have a good idea what we have after Florida.

Bear in mind, I'm glad guys performed well. Just don't know about drawing any meaningful conclusions. jmo
