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

[80shusky]

Look buzzards!

 

[uconnphil2016]

At this point, there is no more bad news. There's good news and there's news that gets us closer to being rid of Ollie.

At least it's Grit Week

 

[HuskyHawk]

Looking forward to next year when he decides to transfer to UConn

Just like Purvis. St. John's is a pit.

 

[djct1999]

Where's Waters going?

Not here.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Buy football tickets and pray Edsall makes us relevant again. Basketball is done until we're P5 (if ever).

 

[Vuce]

No the staff has. Oz is just saying what he hears from them. Be pissed at our lack of recruiting on the staff.

That is pretty scary that the staff thinks they have recruits locked up and they aren't. They need to keep their mouths shut instead of talking to Oz and others

 

[Kathy]

When do we start to critique "Chills"? I would think such a wonderful salesman would have been able to land a kid over a program that has complete sh_t over the same 2 decades we won 4 titles.

Big East vs. AAC where would you want your kid. AAC catching up to us. Look at where transfers from AAC end up

 

[JMick]

So it's pretty clear now that Glen Miller wasn't the reason we thought we had Diallo until the last minute, right?

 

[Drew]

it literally has nothing to do with this. but sure. start throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Do you really think that oaf is talking to the staff? Or is he pestering the 15th guy on the payroll?

No coach is going to hand news to this guy so he can go play on the internet.

That should be pretty clear given his track record...

 

[Jaybo]

I really #king hate him!

 

[TRest]

In a few years we will lose recruiting battles to A10 schools.

 

[BUConn10]

so are people finally realizing "gross incompetence" may be a fair label.

For what it's worth I've seen Oz and KO laughing it up in the basketball practice center before. They're close, there's no denying that.

I get the Big east is better then the AAC but their games are played on a channel that 4 people watch. And a great salesman should be able to convince someone to look past that one item. Storrs isn't 12 hours away from the kids house.

 

[Chief00]

Oz is talking to the staff. Be pissed at the staff not oz..

I noticed Sid never put the St. John's stuff on - even the hat. It's about $15k a year in cash; can't blame the parents.

Having said that, an embarrassing miss - at least Warde was in the Tropics - and not watching the YardGoats. KO never successfully leveraged his Team USA coaching. I appreciate people sharing stuff with me - just difficult when the people who are suppose to know with certainty don't - but there are no guarantees in life.

 

[uchusky32]

We're in some bad times no doubt!

 

[upstater]

Oz is talking to the staff. Be pissed at the staff not oz..

That is pure bull. And easy to prove too. The fact people believe it is half the problem. It was obvious he was going to St Johns. I could see it from a mile away. And Oz once again showed how laughable his sleuthing is when he actually relayed the actual quotes from the staff. "We'll be good when Wilson commits," is not 100% official. This is silly beyond belief. In fact, Oz's claim abo Vance Jackson also showed he had misinterpreted whatever the staff told him. Vance's own father contradicted his claim.

I'm going to get yelled at for engaging with you, but I can't let this go unchecked.

The baseball game had nothing to do with Sid committing to SJU.

 

[jojipoji]

Shouldn't you stop posting for a while since your wrong a lot

 

[BUConn10]

Anyone shocked by these recruiting outcomes this late in the 2017 game after fumbling your entire class away last year doesn't understand NCAA recruiting or college athletics in general.

 

[superjohn]

We have major internal problems that start at the top. People can joke about it all they like and make excuses as our program continues to look less and less like what JC spent over three decades building. It's sad what's happening.

Finally someone with some Brains.

Now would be a good time for Chief to be Brief.

St. John's can no longer give recruits that since building on-campus dorms
