Sucks he won't be able to play this year, but basically redshirting for a year getting stronger and better, and coming in a class with hopefully Carey and/or Akinjo and Carrigan?? Thatd be dope

I feel like taking summer classes, just in theory, at another school shouldn't make it that you must sit out a year if you do decide to transfer.

Do a lot of kids don't take 12 credits over the summer? Think he was with SJU? Because if not, he may not have been considered a full-time student

Possible he could be eligible in 2nd semester? Very interesting situation no doubt. Poor kid should be already practicing and getting ready but was swayed. Never too late to make the right decision though even if it is to just go to class, practice and get stronger. Good for him wherever he may land.
 
From Borges:
The New Haven Register Blogs: UConn Men's Basketball Blog: Sid Wilson leaves St. John's; UConn should be back in picture

Wilson’s primary option at this point would seem to be to sign with another school and sit out a year as a transfer, since he already took summer courses at St. John’s. It’s not unprecedented for players to take summer classes at a college and then return to prep school. In fact, Jakarr Sampson and Ron Patterson did so at Brewster, though there were extenuating circumstances – Sampson didn’t get through the NCAA Eligibility Center, and Indiana had oversigned for Patterson’s recruiting class.

As a full-qualifier who has already taken college courses, it seems unlikely Wilson would be able to return to Brewster or any other prep school.

If he's going to another D1 school he would have to sit the year unless he gets a waiver that would grant him immediate eligibility

Hmm, wonder if the school would put this type of effort in for a recruit that is "not coming" to UConn.
I hope this is goods news.

If he enrolls for second semester at uconn then he wouldn't be eligible til second semester next year to play I believe

That isn't correct. If he enrolled at St. Johns, he has to sit out one year before playing somewhere else. I don't know of a requirement that he needs to be at UConn (or anywhere else) for that one year.
 
He needs to spend a year in residence at whatever school he chooses.

If he sits out this semester and joins a school for the second semester, he's going to have to sit for a year and be eligible second semester in 18/19.

There's really no wiggle room here and there's no chance at a hardship waiver. If he didn't enroll at St. John's - no problem. If he did, it's a run of the mill transfer with the year in residence requirement.
 
This is what I hear. The staff in best case scenario gets him this year to play. (Long long shot). They do not want him to prep but sit out a year at Uconn and work with our staff. Have him work with the players and then play in a year. They do not want him to prep and possibly pick another school next year

If he's enrolled at St. John's, how exactly is he going to go back to a prep school?

That doesn't mitigate the year in residence requirement.

Borges mentions it in his article
 
I have sympathy for the kid but we don't want KO & staff wasting alot of valuable time and brain power on this.

If you want to come Sid great, you know all you need to know about UConn.....nothing has changed since you made the wrong choice a couple months ago.

This isn't how recruiting works.... The staff will absolutely be spending time on Wilson convince him to come to UConn if they want him.
