Sid Wilson now eligible...

It will be interesting to see how he fits in now.

I know many have high hopes for sid, but not playing these first games is tough because he doesn’t have the time to mesh like everyone else. I would guess we won’t see valuable production until after winter break.

Sid has to make extraordinary efforts outside of basketball.

What elite competition has Wilson created anything? There is a big difference between high school and college.

How do we know this? I think some people need to dial back the immediate expectations with Wilson until we see some evidence. Remember, he also hasn't played in a real game in a year and a half (senior year of high school).

Can’t see him playing the 4 at all. He’s barely 6’6” and is 180 soaking wet. Perfect college wing

It's the same as the people who wanted to bench Vital for Tarin after 1 game. When we actually have depth and have good stuff happening (finally) people gotta start trouble suggesting people lose their starting spots. As if starting even matters anymore. I am hopeful Wilson will be a contributor and am intrigued to see how he fits in. To suggest right now he should start over Polley and Vital like cowboysnation did is...absurd.
 
Having Wilson join now may be a bit of a blessing. A lot of good has happened with Smith, Carlton, Polley, and both B and J Adams that might not have developed the same way. He will need to blend himself into the team concept to make his biggest impact.

Suggesting that a Top 50 recruit should start over two guys who weren’t even ranked in the top 150 doesn’t sound absurd to me. I like Vital and Polley. I just think Sid is on another level talent wise. I’m not saying that Sid is gonna come in and start on Day 1. Just saying eventually I would like to see that lineup.

Well consdiring we were playing a 6'4 B. Adams and 6'2 Jalen at against Iowa it wouldn't surprise me. We will be playing small ball a lot this year as that is where our strengths exist. Remember Loyola-Chicago played that was last year and did very well with it. We have lots of depth to play it this year unlike last.

i think the majority of wilson's minutes are going to be at the 4 -- borges already tweeted that hurley sees wilson as a small-ball 4. as it stands now, we play almost exclusively three guards, sometimes four guards with carlton, cobb, or even polley.

2006 Villanova started a 4 guard lineup with guards about the same size as ours(maybe even smaller) and was one of the best teams in the country.

The game against Florida state is going to be interesting. I read somewhere that if Florida state was in the NBA they would have the biggest starting lineup in the league. Their center is 7’4 and their PF is 6’11. Guards are all 6’4+. Will be a test!

It does sound nuts but our best players are small so we will be playing a lot of really small ball at times. Certainly not ideal but until we bring in some real big men you have to patch together what you think will work best.

Of course I don’t know definitively...just an opinion based on Wilson’s superior talent and play in high school vs Vital

Would love to see [QUOTE="Dove,
We just moved and I was going through my stuff recently.
Deciding what to toss and I came across a plastic tote of UConn stuff.
On top was a Newspaper with the headlines UConn best Duke 77-74
That paper is older than Sid .as is most of the stuff in the tote.

Making too much out of recruiting rankings. Wilson has to prove himself on the court. And I think he will. But look how well Polley is doing. A 3* if I’m not mistaken.

Question. How do we know that Sid Wilson will do anything valuable for the team this year? All we have to go by is his HS record and nothing from competition like he’s about to face. He will be trying to take Polley’s minutes and Polley has been pretty good, right? What’s his handle like, can he be on the floor at the same time as Polley?
