Sid Wilson Transferring

[UCDaveD]

I liked Sid. Too bad. Fresh start is probably best for all parties.

 

[sledog]

must have been a helleva 'chat'. who's next?

 

[KingAG]

Disagree, I think it's a pretty open and honest quote from Sid. Don't see what's bad about it

“Somewhere I can be myself” was a petty shot imo. Could be reading too much into it

 

[Huskybass]

Best of luck, Sid. Hope you find a great fit.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Damn

 

[businesslawyer]

Good luck to the young man. This should come as no surprise to anyone.

So we have two openings. One of them has to be someone who can play the 4 given the injuries to Akok and Polley.

I guess I can see that interpretation. I don't view it as a shot at Hurley as much as an acknowledgement that their styles just don't mesh

 

[Ratso]

iona is gonna be a hell of team

 

[HooperScooper]

So if work ethic is the issue is there a D1 coach who puts up with a poor work ethic? Lol

 

[NJHoops]

Nice young man, who has had some definite struggles in his life. I wish him well and hope it all works out for him!

I agree with you but I also see where polycoms coming from. It all depends your interpretation of that last sentence. I took it simply as my personality & Dans didn’t mesh, I’d like to go somewhere I can be myself. I don’t think it’s that harsh.

Yeah that was my next post with Ant. I interpreted it the way you did but can see where they're coming from re-reading it now

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

Just disappointing all around. When we got Sid, it was a nice departure from the majority of the dudes we were talking ourselves into liking as Sid had some next level traits. The program and talent level rose exponentially when Dan came in and Sid just never really could put it together on or off the court.

He was so fun to watch in the spurts where his motor was active. I sincerely hope he lands in a great spot and can play with a clear mind.

 

[StepbackCity]

It’s gonna be fun watching this recruiting process unfold w/2 spots left in quarantine

There are plenty. Some guys take "players coach" as "let the kids do whatever they want"

See: KO.

I think it's a throwaway comment. I'm sure it's awkward to explain why you're transferring and he is a college kid so he probably didn't rehearse any of this and he just said what came to mind. I really hope that he can find a role somewhere that allows him to display his talents and help him get a pro spot somewhere.

 

[formerlurker]

We may never know what the disconnect was but the kid never hung his head, was always a great teammate on the bench and although lost at times, never didn't hustle when he saw the floor. I wish Sid nothing but success on and off the basketball court. Husky for life.

 

[MDHuskFan]

As a program we’re in a good spot. I hope Sid finds a good spot as well

 

[Apollo]

This quote is so bad... its incredible.

Why?

 

[RichZ]

There are probably quite a few who don't use the same definition for it as Hurley.

He’s 21-22, who gives really. Keyboard jockey.... just wish him well

You are reading too much into it. Deep breaths

 

[Fishy]

Sorry to see it, but I understand it.

Also don’t think Iona makes a hell of a lot of sense...he can play at a higher level than Iona, but I guess things could be worse than playing for Pitino.

His Jelly Fam boy Washington is there also. Could help him to have a support system.

Two quick points:

1. This only happens because the staff hasalready filled his scholarship.
2. Sid is way better than Iona.

No but staff has options they are zeroing in on.

Sid hasn't shown he's way better than Iona.

Yes he has. His athletic ability alone screams high major. Someone will take a shot on him. Iona is for high majors out of shots. And if the staff wasn’t confident, they wouldn’t have let go of Sid. They know something which is why he announced now and not a few weeks ago.

You must have missed the end of regulation of the Wichita State game.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Kids got a world of potential. I hope he lands somewhere where he realizes it. Too bad it didn't work out but the writing was on the wall. Wish him nothing but the best.

 

[UconnU]

He can definitely end up at Iona. He’s not too good for a top tier midmajor program.
