Sid Wilson

[King Husky]

He has an alarm set and he's got no freaking time to waste on screen rotation - this is a no-nonsense kid we want and need.

And he's got bluetooth on so we know he's not the type of guy to conserve energy, he'll leave it all out there.

Looks like he is going to uconn with that coded message

Chill with the recent twitter follow. Let's see what he can do.

Dumb question, but is he friends with Adams?

Jalen doesn't follow him on Twitter but Larrier and CV do

Good thats all I wanted to know. That we are putting our best foot foward. Its all you can ask. Get em KO and Chill!!

They probably know each other, but i dont think their "friends" in the term you are referring to. CV, Terry, and Sid are all from NY while Jalen is from Boston so that explains it

 

[Huskyforlife]

They both played for Brewster. They would know each other.

No overlap.

Perhaps. But Jalen was gone a year before Wilson showed up.

He follows Jalen, CV, Larrier, and Mamadou on instagram. They all follow him back.

Fair, but I will say there is no UConn buzz with Wilson right now. He may be open but the only school names I've heard are Cuse and Florida (I have to admit neither make any sense...).

Considering Wilson himself said that UConn is coming with their best pitch I'd say there's at least a little buzz between UConn and Wilson

 

[djct1999]

Not true.

Confirmed.

 

[Storrs South]

Well that escalated quickly

 

[BUConn10]

Sorry, so is this kid officially a member of the 2017 incoming class?

 

[UCbcm]

Sorry, so is this kid officially a member of the 2017 incoming class?

Confirmed

edit: He's leaving 2018 open as an option, but this seems to indicate (to me at least) that he's sticking with 2017 now

He's said he's going to consider colleges for 2017 but could still go back to Brewster. In any case, he's graduating high school this year so if he goes back to Brewster it will be as a post-grad, not a high school student.

 

[BUConn10]

Thanks UC and pj.

It's interesting that throughout this kids recruitment he has repeatedly gone out of his way to say he isn't going to reclassify, then randomly one day in April he tweets a paragraph saying he is. The sudden nature in that change makes me feel good about our chances as we have had a ton of turnover since Wilson's original "no reclass" comments, as well as major minutes available relative to the competition.

 

[InKembaITrust]

Chillious recruiting Sid...

 

[Storrs South]

Sorry, so is this kid officially a member of the 2017 incoming class?

It certainly feels that way, although the did note in his reclass tweet he could go back to 2018 so who honestly knows.

Assuming he stays in 2017, this weekend will be very interesting knowing UConn is up against St. John's, Florida, Georgia Tech, Texas, & Canada.

Bear with me, but here's the current scenario: Kevin Knox is deciding tomorrow and by all accounts (247 Crystal Ball) is likely going to Duke. If he does not go to Duke, it is expected Duke would then pursue Jordan Tucker, who Syracuse & Georgia Tech are fighting neck and neck over. Tucker has apparently wanted a Duke offer all along (sound familiar?) and thus Cuse & Georgia Tech would then put more effort on Wilson if that offer ever came.

So basically Knox needs to go to Duke, Tucker needs to go to Georgia Tech, then it would come down to Florida (out of scholarships/playing behind Koulechov/Stone/Johnson), St. John's (would play behind Ahmed so same situation as UConn), Canada (competing with Brissett), and Texas (would not be playing behind anyone and I believe main competition here because of minutes available).

 

[WrenchFan69]

I feel good about this. Surely we can keep an NYC kid from going to Texas?

 

[UConnStats]

St John's guys don't like their chances.

Tucker is trending towards Cuse over GTech according to the crystal ball.
