Sid Wilson Transferring

[Stainmaster]

Any word as to the programs that have officially inquired about Sid? I know people have suggest Iona but...

He has an offer from Bryant and social media activity from Iona and Hofstra.

 

[David 76]

Iona with Pitino is an entirely different beast than Iona without Pitino. I'm not fond of Pitino but he is a fantastic college basketball coach. He kids improve and his teams win a lot of games. Why wouldn't Sid want to go there?

I
Patino might screw him. On a restaurant table.

 

[David 76]

I’ve never heard that saying. If you are hearing this from Yankee fans, might want to look at how jacoby Ellsbury is being treated...

oh please!

To me what's funnier is the tendency of every fanbase to think every recruit in the next incarnation of [insert former great player name here] until they verbal to someone else and then they

1. Are afraid of competition;​

2. Weren't seriously being considered;​

3. Have an attitude problem (locker room issues); and/or​

4. Have rickets.​

We are not as bad as many. Syracuse is absolutely the worst. It is hysterical to see the 180.

#4 made me laugh out loud

People–yourself included–didn't seem to think so at the time: Sid Wilson (UConn Wants Him to Reclassify to '17)

Also, while it's not surprising you didn't get my point, Wilson was sought after by programs in the Florida/Texas echelon. It's disingenuous for you to suggest he was some crazy reach whose burnout potential was obvious.

I honestly don’t care how he was rated by some click baiting sites. Here’s the reality. He was not a high major player. Full Stop. Highly ranked limited players were a Kevin Ollie specialty.

Adding an unnecessary degree of difficulty to layups probably isn't the wisest style of play. IMO.

Quite frankly, there’s two old sayings in basketball - “you can’t get closer than close” and “you don’t get an extra point for degree of difficulty”.

Don’t drink and boneyard

That is exactly my problem.

So many parking tickets...

So many parking tickets...

Maybe this was one of the reasons he was suspended. I mean that is a crazy amount of tickets to the point of just being ignorant.

Yes, but UConn parking is ruthless. Once parked outside a building in pouring rain to drop off a paper. I came out less than 2 minutes later to a ticket.

So many parking tickets...

That's over a grand in parking tickets.

 

[uconngb]

So many parking tickets...

thats about as equivalent to how much time he was parked on the bench

 

[Huskybass]

So many parking tickets...

Any scooter infractions in that pile?

 

[Huskyforlife]

So many parking tickets...

That would make coach mad.

 

[Dean Wormer]

Same thing happened to me. Except I was actually sitting in the car waiting on someone, didn't see the POS writing the ticket behind me, and then watched as he pinned it on my windshield and walked away.
I swear I lost my religion for a second. Couldn't understand why he just didn't ask me to move before writing the damn thing! Bad memory.

 

[Fishy]

Whatever the number is, it’s gotta be nuts.

Son....park your car somewhere other than where you‘re parking it.

Some parking department is eventually going to own that car.

 

[HuskylnSC]

Will those have to be paid to release his transcript for transfer?

 

[freescooter]

Do you know anything about where he was ranked coming out of high school?

I don’t care where he was ranked coming out of high school. How did it help UConn? Answer: It didn’t. He was badly over rated. It happens. He is a MAAC level player. But it fits a pattern for Ollie, too. His supposed top recruiting class that got us a top 20 preseason ranking before losing to Wagner and Northeastern turned out to be largely the same. Looked impressive on recruiting vids. Not so much in real games. I guess I don’t get your argument. Are you saying he WAS a good player in his time at UConn? That high school rankings matter more than college performance? Can we at least agree that his UConn career was disappointing?

Of course you don't get my argument. You're constantly too angry to think clearly.

My argument is that Sid was highly touted out of high school and coveted by much of this board. Nobody, not even you, had any notion he wouldn't pan out.

Maybe he can give the tickets to Pitino’s strippers and they can handle with UConn police?
