Wilson

[brasssbonanzaa]

Ollie is trying to save his job. If Sid is cleared, he'll pull the same move Diaco did with Donovan Williams.

The Sid Wilson situation isn't in the same hemisphere as the Donovan Williams substitution.

Every time you think there can't be something more stupid to say on the Boneyard, you get surprised.

That's a great point, if Wilson isn't even a D-1 basketball player and the whole team quits because you are going to play him (which, if you don't get it, would be the comparison to Donovan Williams).

Season is almost over? In what universe? They haven't played a single conference game yet! We absolutely need him to play. Not sure he's the answer, since he's not considered a shooter, but we need are able bodies.

I agree it’s not over, but we’re going to be pretty damn sure 90% prob by about 2 weeks from now, don’t you think? I’ve seen enough to know right now we need more talent on the floor.

If he wasn't going to play this year to reserve eligibility, they would have pulled his waiver request. If he's approved, he'll play.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Reports from practice last week have him being one of the best players on the floor, so yeah if gets the waiver he better play.

That's encouraging. My point was: if he can make a difference and help us get close to post-season, then play him. If not, then don't. Sounds like he would.

I agree we need more talent on the floor. That's the point. I think Sid will help. There are plenty of games left is my point.

 

[mauconnfan]

Of course he will play. Having 18 or so games under his belt is better for next year anyway and he will have 3 full years left, no reason not to play.

Sid Vicious.

The more this drags on, the more I cannot stand the NCAA governing body.

Are they gathering more info? Are they weighing the pros and cons of the situation? Of course not. What they're doing is making us wait so that the next Wilson to come along will think twice before transferring. The NCAA is nothing more than a glorified pimp trying to pose as an academic institution...

 

[Austin316]

We need this kid to play... I hate getting teased like this.

I like year end Biz. He's cranky and right to the point.

should've transferred from UNC

He reminds me of the late Malik Sealy in his college days.

This post really shows the level of your craziness about Ollie.

We shall see. I've been right about nearly everything else, so I doubt that this will be any different.

What does the guy at the car wash have to say? That's the only source I trust.

Imagine being such a as to actually post something like this.

 

[UCDaveD]

You saw the writing on the wall in January 2014. Excuse me for choosing to overlook your prognostications. Maybe we should find out what @shizzle787 thinks is going to happen.

That team was 17-4 at the end of January 2014.

 

[August_West]

That team was 17-4 at the end of January 2014.

Yup and you should see the doom and gloom here

 

[UCDaveD]

Yup and you should see the doom and gloom here

If this squad is 17-4 in January, I'll crap sunshine.

Ajou Deng would help us immediately right now

Greg Economou would help us immediately right now.

 

[Bryan Lord]

Play him before he transfers

Greg Economou would help us immediately right now.

We could use the speed of Cup Cormier

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

There are some really hot garbage takes in this thread.

Did I just read that this is a lost season at 7-3 therefore we should redshirt Wilson?

That ranks among the dumbest statements I've seen on here.

What good does packing it in in December do? This isn't the NBA where you can tank and get Anthony Davis. The goal is to win as many games as possible this year to get back to respectability, across the country and on the recruiting trail. Do people not realize that there is no saving for next year, or 2019, or 2026? We aren't getting Kemba Walker and Andre Drummond next year.
If Sid gets cleared soon, he is going to play ASAP. It's not even remotely a question.
