Sidney Wilson's first visit: St. John's

[lange10]

No offense to our insiders but at this point with so much flip flopping I won't believe anything one way or another. We'll find out in just over two hours from Sid himself. Hoping the good guys pull this one out. We need some good news on the recruiting trail to get this thing up and running again.

With you and Goodman coming in at the same time things are looking a bit rough I guess, family may win out. Happens not a lot you can do in that case at all despite what some may think.

I think it may end up UConn won with the kid himself but location, Mullin and Richmond may have won over the closest to him. We will see

He posted a few minutes after Goodman though.

Im gonna check back after some more margaritas on the beach.

I don't understand how people can change their minds so much about something. It's like those presidential election polls. How do the numbers change that much over time? Also, if it's the week before the election and you're still undecided, then you haven't really given it much thought.

Sorry to bring even a passing nod to politics into this. Let's just grab some popcorn and see what happens. Or doesn't happen. Or happens at some future date. Or whatever is going on here.

 

[Mr. French]

No flirting - look back earlier in this thread. Always a longshot at best.

Dang. I was getting excited. Zionn, the grim reaper of recruiting.

 

[superjohn]

Why sj you gonna fire him?

Pay attention to what's going on with our program and what's going on behind the scenes. It's not the fanbase Ollie has to worry about.

 

[sportsart]

If the kid is not sure who to choose and he is going back and forth over the last 48 hours, he probably needs to step back and not make a choice at all.

If he was for UConn last night and he changes to St Johns today, he probably is basing his decision on emotion instead of looking at the big picture.

I'd postpone the decision if I were him.

 

[UCweCONN]

Wow, how quickly things turn!!

Cheez!

Maybe he likes sleeping in his own room at home and doesn't want to leave it?

 

[husky99]

Not sure this will swing our way. Of my top 3 guys. It is 2 to 1 with st. Johns winning

 

[bazz&boujee]

have we said please?

 

[Huskyforlife]

Maybe we told him he's a center?

Fans are whipping back and forth. I'm sure the kid has decided whatever he is going to decide.

[KingAG]

I'm at 90%.

Im curious as to who your source is that has you confident. I will say your standing alone here on an island with cheif and thats admirable. I hope your right

 

[UCweCONN]

have we said please?

No, but I hear he's going to a UConn Baseball game at Dunkin Donuts field and KO will hook him up with a beer bracelet......

 

[sportsart]

So you are saying all these "insiders" and their sources are just spewing nonsense based on their feelings and they're not getting info from the kid's inner circle?

If the kid made his decision before the last 2 days, where is all the back and forth coming from?

Is "this" the opposite of "next"

If my source is wrong, he's wrong. If people want to get mad at me for posting what I'm told, they can have fun with that. If he chooses St. Johns, it means he changed his mind very recently.

 

[Chief00]

LOL - any four letter word other than NEXT works

 

[bazz&boujee]

my source is saying UConn

 

[sportsart]

Fishy said he already knew and so changing his mind is not an option.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Also completely random, but since we're all desperate for info. Killings liked Wilsons most recent tweet, although it's just some random inspirational quote, you have to wonder why he'd bother if Wilson isn't coming here.

Grasping at all the straws here.

 

[bazz&boujee]

my source is chief

 

[upstater]

I will be surprised if he picks UConn and I've felt that way after reading his father's quotes yesterday, especially after what Jr. said about Chillious being his "man, even if he doesn't go to UConn."

Those two quotes combined tell me he is headed elsewhere.

All info is appreciated. Im choosing to go with your source because its good news. Lol

That assumes he would have told the "losing" school he's not coming.

It could be that just like 100% of this board, no one knows where he's going...including the UConn staff.

You didn't see the quote that says "Even if he doesn't come to UConn, Wilson is still my dude" from Killings?

That was just a way of saying that he likes Chilious so much he would still be like family even if Sid were at another college. It's not just basketball in other words. It's personal closeness. It doesn't imply anything one way or another about where he's going, except that if he is so close to Chill, he'll be more likely to choose UConn.
