@NYPost_Brazille: Whoa, look out for St. Ray's sophomore wing Sid Wilson. St. John's offer yesterday, Minnesota today.

Ricky Jr and Kimani have way too much momentum around the tri state. I want a Garden beatdown this November.

The 6-foot-6 Wilson received an offer from St. John’s Head Coach Steve Lavin earlier in the week.
“It was a great experience to see him and Coach [Tony] Chiles come to watch me play,” Wilson said. “I felt like I had a good game, I was making shots, but I didn’t know that they were going to offer me.”

Will attend SJU Midnight Madness.

While he is " grinding" he should make his way 15 minutes up the road to see a sophmore Cimmino has at Mt Vernon - Marco Morency. Sure fire high major kid.

It is amazing with all the talented kids Mt. Vernon has produced through the years (with the exception of one Norm recruit who left), we have never landed a quality one.

Dexter Gray
Dexter Gray wasn't good enough to play for Iona.
-
I believe Mount Vernon has a couple of Sophs that are getting some attention. Guard Marco Morency and Forward Greg Calixte.
Hope Mullin can develop that relationship
-
We never had luck recruiting there.
In Norm's defense he needed players badly and I think his first three recruits were Cedric Jackson, Geno Lawrence, and Dexter Gray.

Why do people say Lavin never set foot in their gyms? He recruited Adonis. I personally saw him recruiting Carrington at Loughlin. Here he is recruiting this Wilson kid. He did recruit New York, but NY kids don't want to come. So you have to recruit nationally. (you also have to prepare for games and take care of the kids that you have now.) Lav was a good recruiter but when he had a bad record in 2012-13 and 13 -14 he lost credibility and thus his ability to recruit. But don't say he didn't try. ( He still got Sampson and Doughty and Barnes) He WAS a good recruiter.

Who cares what Lavin did or didn't do. Totally irrelevant to the recruitment of this player and he isn't our coach. Time to let it go

New Heights (NY) has a couple impressive class of 2017 prospects in forward Sid Wilson and center Sunday Okeke. Wilson holds offers from Indiana, St. John's, Providence, Minnesota and South Florida. He is looking forward to his unofficial visit at St. John's on June 6th.
"St. John's is a good program and is close to home," said Wilson. "I've been to St. John's games ever since I was five years old so they a good school."

On Saturday, RedStormReport.com spoke with St. Raymond Head Coach Jorge Lopez about what transpired. "Sid took an unofficial visit to St. John's today," he said. "It went well. We were both impressed with [Head Coach] Chris Mullin's vision for St. John's basketball.
"Lopez said that Mullin put an emphasis on player development and the Red Storm's intention to make the team a destination place for all of the high level players in the tristate area.The Johnnies have had their eyes on Wilson, who plays summer basketball with New Heights, especially during the April live period. "[St. John's assistant coach] Matt Abdelmassih said Mullin likes Wilson and wants to watch more of him in July according to Coach Lopez.
Coach Lopez added that currently, Wilson has no other College visits planned.

@NYPost_Brazille: St. John's spoke to top 2017 target Sidney Wilson yesterday, I'm told. #sjubb

One school that offered the forward early on was St. John's which Wilson feels is a "great school." SJU Assistant Coach Matt Abdelmassih was at the UA Camp on Wednesday to check out the dynamic player and Wilson said he's been impressed with the Red Storm.
"They have a great coaching staff that incoming with [Head] Coach [Chris] Mullin and they're close to home which is a big plus," Wilson said.
Wilson said that he visited St. John's University campus in early June with a couple of other players including Nazreon Reid. "[Mullin] spoke to us about his coaching staff and how they've been on the NBA level and developed players on the NBA level.
"Another visit to the Big East school is in the future said Wilson although no timetable has been set. "[I want] see the school in-depth and see how it feels on the St. John's campus."

Three other New York City recruits also spent their Saturday at Carnesecca Arena, with four-star 2017 small forward Sid Wilson of St. Raymond’s in the Bronx saying St. John’s is “toward the top” of his list, which includes Cincinnati, Providence and VCU.
“It’s always good to stay close to home and be at a big program like St. John’s,” Wilson said. “I’m real close to my family, so it would be nice for them to come to all of my games.”
Wilson added that the appeal of playing for a Basketball Hall of Famer like Mullin would be a tremendous privilege, as would playing half of his home games each season at Madison Square Garden.
“Everyone wants to play at the Garden, especially if you’re from New York,” he said. “That would be great.”
In terms of visits to other schools, Wilson said a trip to South Florida may be in the cards in the near future, but he wasn’t sure of a possible date for a potential visit.
-
Pretty sure he sat next to Rawle yesterday
-
Yes...during the beginning of the second half for about 10 minutes or so.

Hadn't seen Wilson play before tonight but came away impressed. I think his best skill is how good he is at changing pace. He's a string bean and doesn't look like much of an athlete when he takes the floor but he has a really nice burst of explosiveness to him. He had a few really beautiful hesitation moves that were impressive for someone of his size and length. He also hit a few outside shots and his stroke seems to be rounding out (I had heard that has improved). Got into foul trouble so his minutes were a little bit limited. He definitely needs to get stronger, but I also think, judging by the length of his arms, he could grow a bit more as well before all is said and done. Would LOVE to get him or Jordan Tucker.

Exactly. He has been at CTK, St Anthony's, Roselle Catholic and others, as reported on here. Matt A tends to be more public, it seems, because of his activity on Twitter and connections to local scribes.

As it stands, there will be only one ship available in 2017 if Jones does return next year. That could change with a transfer, the staff saving a ship, or a future commit like Alkins or RF being a one-and-done. In any case, though, it doesn't look like it will be a big class.

Wilson should be the one... Kid is Sir dom / old big east tough. To me Tucker will be a nice college player but i don't think he is even the best player on his own high school team.

Sidney Wilson has decided to transfer to Brewster Academy & reclassify to the class of 2018 http://www.madehoops.com/news_article/show/665869?referrer_id= …
-
This is a very smart decision on his part. With two more seasons underneath his belt he's going to be highly coveted and much improved physically come 2018-19'. Once he hones in and focuses on his overall skill set in a controlled environment like a prep school the sky is the limit for him. This also allows the staff to revisit the possibility of him being a Johnnie with a wide open 2018 class sans Boubacar Diakite. He's basically been recruited by St. John's since 8th grade between Lavs and now Mullin's staff, his recruitment should skyrocket come the 2017-18' prep season.

Sidney Wilson, a class of 2018 Forward playing for New Heights (NY), just picked up an offer from St. John's.
-
https://www.sny.tv/college-recruiting/news/sid-wilson-adds-offers-st-johns-prioritizing-him/189335704
St. John's technically doesn't have any scholarships for 2017 -- although they are recruiting Mohamed Bamba, Hamidou Diallo and Hasahn French, among others -- and now have flexibility to recruit Wilson in 2018.
"They didn't have any offer sports left in my class with all the transfers and such and they had offered so many kids there wasn't a spot for me in 2017," Wilson said. "But now that I'm 2018 they wanted to offer me. They said I'm a priority for them in 2018."

Reclassifying & having a great summer seem to be really opening up his recruitment.

Kid is getting really good....reclassifying obviously not only gives him that extra year but seems to have given a confidence to his game....his potential is MUCH higher than I originally thought

I would like that he will be a priority for our staff.

Just a follow up, there is legitimate interest and SJU staff has been aware of his likely move back to 17 and have been quietly staying in touch.

If he's a '17 that changes a lot of things. He's a top 50 talent.
My peeve with him is his personality but this is me nitpicking somewhat.
-
Very interesting, seems like we have a shot. 4 star kid from the Bronx, should be right up the staffs alley. This late in the game would be a great get, needed depth in case of injury and would play a large role moving forward.
-
Two years ago, he must have gone to five or six games at Alumni Hall.
-
concerning about fordham post about not a good mix w/NYC and Dave's comment about lack of drive/focus.
What I was told was that his family was looking for hi m to leave NYC. And that was a big reason why SJU was no longer being mentioned. But I think that is not a big issue now.
-
I really like this kid...hes long, athletic, can score and play multiple positions. Know him very well and lets just say he's matured a lot and we all need to remember how young these kids are. He has the potential to be a terrific defender and brings toughness and attidute(sometimes too much ). He is a big talent. After the Kante situation I'm out of the prediction biz..so ill GUESS he will be in college next year and that SJU has as good of a chance as anybody.

This tweet now makes sense. Sid is the missing ingredient to next year's tourney run. He provides the sorely needed depth at SF and brings additional length and athleticism. Lock it up Abs!

About Wilson's list...keep in mind Jordan Tucker is deciding between Syracuse and Ga. Tech. I would imagine whoever lands him would most likely take them out of consideration.

It's seems you keep classifying Simon exclusively as a guard in arriving at your conclusion that we have no SF depth. SF might be the only position we have two natural and appropriately sized players in 6'5 210 Simon and 6'6 215 Ahmed. I don't think Sid would make any noticeable impact at the Big East level as a frosh. He could be very good, though, by his soph or junior year.

Not that I think we're gonna land Wilson, but some dominoes may start falling with Kevin Knox making the call for Kentucky. Jordan Tucker, who is supposedly down to Syracuse and Georgia Tech (two schools in the picture for Wilson), could end up being two schools on the outside looking in. Supposedly, Duke will turn it up a notch on Tucker. Word has it, he will listen.
Jordan is Syracuse's first choice and supposedly they haven't actually been pursuing Wilson as immensely as before. So, if that's truly the case, then you can expect the Orange to again turn it up a bit on Wilson. By the way, expect some commitments to drag out a few more weeks (ie, Mo Bamba, Tremont Waters, and even Wilson).

I don't think Tucker is in Duke's plans even without Knox, but I can tell you someone who is plugged into Cuse told me that Cuse has not been going hard after Wilson recently. Maybe that changes but that is what I was told.

Jordan Tucker, who is supposedly down to Syracuse and Georgia Tech (two schools in the picture for Wilson), could end up being two schools on the outside looking in. Supposedly, Duke will turn it up a notch on Tucker. Word has it, he will listen.
Jordan is Syracuse's first choice and supposedly they haven't actually been pursuing Wilson as immensely as before. So, if that's truly the case, then you can expect the Orange to again turn it up a bit on Wilson. By the way, expect some commitments to drag out a few more weeks (ie, Mo Bamba, Tremont Waters, and even Wilson).
I don't think Tucker is in Duke's plans even without Knox
Maybe, Duke doesn't extend a scholarship, but I'm hearing it's a possibility. If they do, Tucker will lend 'em an ear.
but I can tell you someone who is plugged into Cuse told me that Cuse has not been going hard after Wilson recently.
Gotcha! Maybe, there is some validity to what I was told.
-
Turns out Tucker did get his Duke offer today. So most likely that is where he's headed, leaving both Cuse and Ga. Tech still positioned to land Wilson.

I am personally giving up on predicting Wilson and Tucker at this point.

FWIW I am confident we get him. I just don't know what he can contribute next year at 183 lbs.
-
did he announce or hint at any sort of timeline for when he plans to announce?
-

well there goes any shot we had of getting him. ;) At 183 lbs. he is one of our heaviest players. :D

The one team that concerns me is UCONN.
-

At 6'6ish and not a twig he has got to weigh more than that, no?
-
Kid is really good. If we can get a top 50-60 player from 18' to reclassify, it would be a big victory for us. We have Bashir graduating, and the rest will be upperclassmen. He doesn't have to have the physical size just yet next season. He can come along at his pace, and get decent enough minutes to progress. Hope we get this done. We are due for some good luck.

This one is a little different because we have been recruiting Sid for a while and then it seemed like we cooled off but apparently staff was still keeping an eye on him. All the transfers and guys we recruited for a week suck to lose but when its a NY kid who we have seemingly been recruiting since the staff got the job this one would hurt a little more.

Agreed. Would a PF/C have been ideal? SUre, but I'll take a talented kid at any position any day. In this game 3s are constantly lining up as 4s when needed too, so he will help the front court even if he is the opposite of a wide body. Plus it gives us a much needed win to bridge the recruiting wins from last year to hopefully next year.

Seems like a lot of people think these are his top 2. Hopefully we are his last visit but UConn just scares me because of all the immediate playing time they can offer.
-
I honestly think we have plenty of other here too. We are going to play a lot of forwards next year and play " small" overall. Simon gonna get minutes at 3 positions. Wilson could easily share time with Ahmed at the 3. Clark and Yakwe gonna be PF's. We aren't logjammed by any means.

Agreed but as compared to UConn if he is looking to play 30 minutes a game next year UConn will be more attractive. He will not be benched all game here, not saying that at all. He will definitely get burn and injuries happen so he might play even more then expected. We need more depth and he will get minutes here year 1 no doubt.

Same with Briscoe, Whitehead, Heron, and ( brain lapse - the kid from CTK at Arizona ). As I said it's time to win one of these especially against Pukon and the rest.

I like this scenario. Versatility will be a strong suit that we need to maximize to create favorable matchups.

UConn has limited exposure due to conference affiliation. Sell the Big East !

He's not on that level. Ponds and Lovett were both more highly regarded.

Ponds was more highly regarded, but I think Lovett was ranked a bit lower than Sidney. Sidney is ranked in the 50s on scout and rivals, and I'm pretty sure Lovett was in the 60s or 70s in his class.

He frequented Carnesecca so much two years ago you would've thought he had season tickets. Lets hope the affinity hasn't left.
We're bound for some good karma from Rays after the staff completely fell asleep at the wheel on his old running mate Isaiah Washington, Norm's staff whiffing on Ricky Torres, and Jarvis completely ignoring the biggest talent to ever come out of Rays, Julius Hodge.

Where have we heard this before? Glad to hear it as he and Kante will make a good pair of complimentary forwards and maybe backcourt mate Briscoe will withdraw his name from the draft. Oh, wait. No offense to you guys and I am sure you have sources and that's what you've heard but I'll believe it when he steps on the court for us, makes a play that puts him in the box score. That's just the way I have been conditioned being a St. John's fan woe these many years. :-\

How did I do that? I stated no offense to those guys and said I'm sure that's what they heard but until things are signed sealed and delivered I won't count my chickens before they hatch. I'm sure that more than one staff feels good about all recruits but guess what, not all of them can be right. don't even know why I took the time to explain it because you are much more sensitive than I am sure Paultz or Fordham are.

speaking only for myself I share what I hear from people I trust. Sometimes it turns out to be accurate and for a variety of reasons a lot of times I'm wrong. If this were the 80's and this board existed I guarantee I'd almost never be wrong but with so many people around these kids things are so fluid and can change in an instant. Now I've also heard Wilson is a huge SJU lean but understand I know for a FACT Kante told people he was coming and then didn't. My unsolicited advise would be appreciate the people sharing what they know, understand we're just trying to contribute to part of a similar fan base but ultimately if we're wrong bent frustration at losing a player not anger or doubt at a poster.

I agree.....just have to keep in mind.....some of the kids just want to please people (i.e. Briscoe)....some of the sources mean well but are just overly optimistic....and some people just lie. I think whatever info guys have even if it turns out not to pan out is really appreciated. Some kids change their mind.

True, but that's not the fault of 79 and Paultzman and others that just share what they hear
-
Paultz and 79-you guys make the JJ engine run, can't thank you both enough for your insider info whenever you have it.
Fingers crossed on Sid. The tone would switch from borderline NIT to NCAA right off the bat. This is pretty similar to the Polee situation.
-
Sid would be great because he can give us a dozen minutes off the bat and develop into an all-BE player. Would this prevent us from still going after a fifth year/grad transfer for the low post though? Getting Dixon/Wilson/decent big would be a pretty good trade for Williams/Ellison/free scholarship.

He didn't commit during the visit, and doesn't look like the Texas visit will happenthus far. Things look like they're aligning. The kid is very talented. Would be a massive victory to grab this kid.
-
I wonder if his decision will come down to where St.John's wants to play him? Does Sid see himself as a small forward who grabs an occasional board or does he see himself as a combo 3/4 who can and wants to mix it up inside? If it's the latter, we're a good fit.

No impact, Whaley is a PF, who ironically said one reason he chose UCONN was how impressed he was with their strength & conditioning program. He realizes at 6'9 &. 200 pounds the need to bulk up.

He's a pure SF type. Has nothing to do with our need for PF. He's a great candidate to share time with Ahmed and replace him at the SF after next season.

I agree. I'm just speculating that he because many local kids who have been on the D1 radar for years, are going to be unwilling to join a team that won 14 games and wait. This kid probably wants to play, and we already have Ahmed, Clark, Simon and Alibegovic (lol) to play the 3.

I agree UCONN can offer Sid more immediate PT at the three spot, but I hear they are selling Sid on playing multiple spots, including, believe it or not, some stretch 4 time. I personally find notion of Wilson play any time at the 4 crazy because of his thin build, but recruiters can sell snow to Eskimos at times. :)

It's about versatility. Simon may wind up playing more 2 or 1. Clark more 4 then 3. All of a sudden the kid is at the 3 backing up Ahmed with a clear path for next year.

If we get Sid. I can see Bash spending more time at the 4 and Clark spending some time at the 5. Not much height , but the 2 are strong. It would provide depth.

I think Bash thinks he should play more at the 2. He may be able to mix it up inside more than LoVett and Ponds, but his game hasn't shown us that interest. How many times did we see him rush to box out after a shot went up?

Maybe if we get Sid, Bash will sit for awhile if he forgets to box out...

This kid the court with guys like Lovett, ponds, simon, Owens etc, would be a real headache. We are long and lean. Very fast and athletic. This kid looks quite talented and always moving "downhill" toward the basket. Fingers cross d.

Maybe I'm alone but I dont think its crazy to think he could play a few minutes at the 4.
Lovett to Wilson would give us some nice highlights reel alley oops next year. Kid is very very athetlic. Would be a huge get.
-
Exactly......I expect (hope) that will change this year. Matt indicated that yesterday.
Does that mean Mike Rice or some other coach is being brought in to teach how to box out? Because while our bigs are always going for the blocked shot, that philosophy has left us in poor position to rebound.
-
No.....it means current staff plans to hold current players accountable. See Matt's twitter q and a from yesterday.
-
Get this kid in here, get Rice and get to work.
-
speaking only for myself I share what I hear from people I trust. Sometimes it turns out to be accurate and for a variety of reasons a lot of times I'm wrong. If this were the 80's and this board existed I guarantee I'd almost never be wrong but with so many people around these kids things are so fluid and can change in an instant. Now I've also heard Wilson is a huge SJU lean but understand I know for a FACT Kante told people he was coming and then didn't. My unsolicited advise would be appreciate the people sharing what they know, understand we're just trying to contribute to part of a similar fan base but ultimately if we're wrong bent frustration at losing a player not anger or doubt at a poster.
+1000
Without the "insider's" view, irrespective if it pans out, we have nothing of interest to talk about. As 79 says, kids change their minds...when we start to win, the decisions will work more in our favor. Until then, it'll be crapshoot

With 8 players how will they do that exactly

One butt at a time.

Turns out Tucker did get his Duke offer today. So most likely that is where he's headed, leaving both Cuse and Ga. Tech still positioned to land Wilson.
I am personally giving up on predicting Wilson and Tucker at this point.
Tucker told Evan Daniels he is down to Duke and Syracuse and was ready to pull the trigger on Syracuse until Duke came along:
Tucker said he was set to pull the trigger for Syracuse, prior to the call from Duke last weekend.
"I was about to narrow it down to just Syracuse," Tucker said. "Then Duke came in and I wasn’t sure at first, but my visit changed my perspective on everything and it made my decision even harder."

I'd bet my life savings we don't get him.
Exactly how much money do you have in your life savings????

According to poster on the boneyard fwiw:
The joy of recruiting. The new news I hear from two pretty good sources is that UConn and st. John's is neck-and-neck. His family really likes him being close to the city and family but coaches are big fans of UConn. Probably won't go on another visit. And the joy is that this all might be hot air.

Geez reading through that thread on the UConn board you would think they are kentucky. They were horrible last year and a lot of there talent transferred. Obviously there recent history has been miles better then ours but they are shocked Sid is even considering us over them. Hope we get him and roll into next season with a very talented squad.

They have won 3 national championships in the past decade. They should act like they're really good.

The problem with this post is that the same poster wrote 2-3 days ago that UConn had no option.

I'm well aware thanks. I'm only speaking to how they think they are currently way better then us, which I don't see.

I don't think he would, Kevin Ollie could point to the players if he wanted to justify the season Uconn just had. Ollie has accomplished more than any St.John's coach ever has. And, Uconn is still a premier program despite a losing season.
That said, if the wheels come off for years on end, he could be replaced. I don't see that happening.
You know, you could make the case that Uconn is a better program than UK last 10 years. It's a damn good case, too.

Sorry, you cannot make the case of UCONN being better than UK, sorry. You have to be careful with the National Championship stuff. Their run in 2014 was great but it was done with a pretty mediocre team with a hot player. If you are going to go by NC’s and not consistently good to great teams then UCONN is a better program than Bill Self and Kansas or Tom Izzo and Michigan St. And there is no one on God’s Green Earth that believes UCONN is as good a program as those two. Kevin Ollie has as many NC’s as John Calipari, Tom Izzo and Bill Self. So what!
The fact is UCONN’s program, built to a remarkable standard by Calhoun, had been slipping for a few years. Not just last year. Remember they got a gift banked, half court shot against Cincy in the AAC Tournament in 2016 or they don’t win the AAC Tourney and make the NCAA’s in 2016, and they missed it in 2015 which means they were a half court 3 point bank shot away from missing the NCAA’s 3 consecutive years. Go back to the BE, yes they won the NCAA’s in 2011, they were also 9-9 in conference play. They have not sniffed a serious conference title run since 2009 and that includes playing in a weak AAC. There is a reason why they are begging conferences to have them, their profile is not great right now.
All of that is not to diminish the fact that UCONN still has name recognition, good facilities and pretty good recent history. But their slip is showing. And the bad year followed by a mass departure of transfers and recruits (BTW they lost their best recruit to fellow New England program Providence-are you going to argue Providence is a better program than UCONN and if not how did they lose a recruit to them but can’t lose one to SJU?) has hurt them considerably.
Again if I were them I would be a bit humble right now as SJU fans should be.
Give you another program with a ton of success over the last decade or so, Ohio St. Thad Matta has a tremendous record. But the last few years combined with this off-season is humbling and I don’t think their fan base is acting as if they are better than any major conference program even if the rivalprogram has not had nearly the amount of success as OSU has had over this given period of time.

Very well said. I respect the success uconn had but at this point they are heading downward and my point was similar to fordham in that the fans should be a little humbled and not think that they are a Duke or Kentucky and no one should go to St. John's instead of them.
-
I see both sides of the argument. That said, UConn still carries more prestige than SJU at this moment in time. Regardless, let's hope Wilson wants to stay in the city.
-
Zags tweeted that the visit went great, but when don't they say it went great. Now it's the waiting game.....
The only time it goes great is if the kid signs before he goes out the door.
-
Heard it'S a 2 horse race with UCONN having a slight edge. Also UCONN looking for a return to the Big East soon
If they have a "slight edge" before his visit, we're done.

Meanwhile Rutgers signs a 2017 6'9 240 lb PF from Cali yesterday.
Any details ? Who did they beat out ?
-
He's already visited Uconn. Corrrect that this is a two team race but respectfully disagree as to edge. Heard this is getting very heated internally between kid, family and different coaching staffs( that does NOT include SJU/Uconn rather his HS coaches, Prep and AAU). From what I heard this morning this kid is getting pulled at from every angle....its a shame because its getting nasty. Id rather not say who's pulling for which side but the kid himself def has a preference
-
M Johnson Rutgers kid is out of Long Beach Poly. Was a high recruit as a Soph then had knee issues and when he came back Sr yr was slow and out of shape. He's an elite student and was close to signing with Lehigh but then had a few solid games and his recruitment picked up. I THIBK he chose RU over Hawaii and G Tech. Great kid, big body, soft hands but not sure he will make much of an impact.
-
Meanwhile Rutgers signs a 2017 6'9 240 lb PF from Cali yesterday.
Any details ? Who did they beat out ?
Hawaii, GA Tech, and a few mid majors on both coasts. He came off a serious injury as a jr which slowed him down this past season. However he put up 8pts and 10 boards against Chino Hills (the Ball brothers school) so he's got some game. Kid's a big, physical looking specimen. 6'9-6'10.
NJHoops.com:
Rutgers landed a commitment from 6-foot-9 Myles Johnson from Poly High School in Riverside CA.
This season he helped Poly to a 22-9 record. Johnson is a 2017 recruit who will provide some inside depth for the Scarlet Knights.
Johnson also excelled in the classroom. He also had offers from Hawaii, Cal Santa Barbara, Colgate
He missed his junior season season with a broken patella
He was one of the California players nominated as McDonald's All American

I respectfully disagree Johnson going for 8 points and 10 rebounds against Chino Hills correlates to him having "game." Now, he could turn out to be a good player, but that showing against Chino Hills doesn't say it, IMO. He should be able to do that and more for a player with his size.
Johnson was actually waiting for a Stanford offer, but it never came.
-
Hopefully this swings our way. Ollie won that NC with Calhoun's team and Calhoun in he shadows. Jim Calhoun was the best college coach around... bar none. Now that it's Ollies team I don't think they've been quite he same. Their conference sucks too. Hopefully we can get this one done...
-
Man this is heated and we need Sid in the worst way. Have to think he'd side with his friends and family and his own preference over a one year relationship with his prep school HC.

Would have been a complete waste of a scholarship here. Stop posting a big man signing with another school as if it matters here, most of them would make zero difference here even with SJU size problems. Rutgers will be bad again next year and this kid makes no difference whether he signed with them or someone else.
-
No inside info, but based off many recruiting battles we've been had in the past I'd be very surprised if he chooses SJU over UConn. Especially if it's as close as people are saying it is. If he comes I'd be pleasantly surprised, but I definitely will not get my hopes up until this staff proves they can win a close recruiting battle against a formidable program like UConn.
-
Most kids these days have some of these issues. Doesn't mean you shouldn't pursue them. Nature of the beast.

"Brewster Academy wing Sid Wilson visited St. John’s over the weekend and said it went “great.”
“They need a wing and they want to keep the good New York kids home,” said the 6-foot-7 New York native who transferred to Brewster from St. Raymond’s in The Bronx. “There is no better place than home, and no other place like NYC.”

My bad, I forgot that if you root for a school you have to be a homer and think that every recruit will come to your team. Definitely not smart to base my prediction on what has happened to St. John's hundreds of times in the past.

Right that is exactly what I meant. A real fan makes up a prediction based on an irrelevant number of so called close calls that did not go their way, creates this prediction based on bet he would never make in real life on a SJU board to get some sort of response, then gives the old, "I hope I am wrong." As if anyone cared if he were right.
Then when called out on it gives the old response, "I am a real fan not a homer."
That is exactly what this board is missing people who contribute nothing and make predictions that have absolutely no consequence if they are right or wrong. I know speaking only for myself, I think we need more people like that.

Extremely confident with this one.
He's a really, really good shooter for a kid of his size and athletic ability. He pairs very well with Simon.

Oh no. Not going to get me again. Nice to know but I'll wait for the official announcement. Sid who ?

After Heron and Kante, I've given up getting to pumped but its good to hear we are in good shape than to hear we have no shot.
Though neither really matter until he announces.

Agree, any St Johns fan who has been around for awhile is feeling once bitten, twice shy. Until the kid puts the hat on at the press conference, its all filler.

I'm confident about their chances as well :) Conforto blossoming into a star is worth all the starters missing a month or two IMO. And Bruce getting playing like an all-star and TJ getting a chance. I'll take it. Look out for us in August and September.

Is he definitely a '17 kid? If so can we move this thread to that year?

Is he expected to decide this week?

Wow losing Lydon to the draft along with Roberson, Gillon and White to graduation puts Cuse at 8 scholarship players. I love that they lost out on Tucker. Even though they have the available minutes I'm not trusting a blogger saying that there might be a outside chance of landing Sid.
They have a very average 2017 recruiting class and are relying on a recovering Chukwu, who was already limited, to man the paint. Looks like it might be another NIT or worse season for Boeheim who is suddenly without his buddy Hopkins.

Hopkins was his lead recruiter too. Boeheim should have just retired. It's only going to get harder for him now.

Wish they were on the schedule again this year so we can clobber them again but am happy with our current run of 3-0 over the past 3 years. It carries weight.

Stuff like that doesn't particularly hold any weight.
Nevertheless, I surmise Syracuse isn't any threat as I mentioned a couple weeks ago. As, Paultzman alluded to above, it's probably a two-team race.

Except it is far off in the distance. He's not retiring. My only point is that St.John's fans in particular should know that just because a Boeheim class isn't highly rated doesn't mean that it doesn't have quality players. That is the kind of program that you never sleep on.

Agree, great program. Just think it might be different without Hopkins moving forward. Their class this year isn't very good overall compared to prior years and they lost a lot. Jury is still out because they definitely compete when all is said and done. We'd beat them this year again if we played them hands down.

It's been tremendously satisfying pounding them, and a long long time coming. Battle at the end of the season was an elite player. Thompson? We'll see what he returns as. I trust the consistent ones. In terms of Hopkins, Autry and McNamara know the game, too. Let's see who they bring in. I'm curious. And seriously, it's not like we have much to say on recruiting ourselves, except ouch.

Yeah, he said he wanted "all the hoes in Uconn" to which Jalen commented "commit and I got you." Throw in the coach interaction and there is a problem.

Sounds like a pleasant young man. Hopefully he doesn't ascribe to the Grady Reynolds method of getting "hoes"

It was mentioned earlier that the kid may want to have a public announcement at some point. Appears he may do so sometime after his Brewster Academy graduation. The good news is he has not scheduled a visit to Texas so far, so the two horse race continues. Like our chances, but we'll see. Tight one!

He signed his LOI today fellas be easy. Why have direct competition when the only person he'd be battling for bench minutes with would be Moose?
Our multitude of potential lineups already make us versatile. Add Sid to the mix and we can cause matchup nightmares all over the floor. He really would get us over the hump IMO.

For those more in the know, at a stage like this with a recruit and decision expected shortly after official visit, clock ticking etc. what type of active follow up & / or giving the kid space to make decision (along with the others involved like parent, coach etc).
Is this truly a keep fingers crossed at this point or is it all hands on deck by coaches ?

He's already decided and wants to make a big deal about announcing after he graduates later this month. This is the time when some coaches get desperate and make 11th hour promises (playing time, starting, position, etc.), which is why these things are never definite until the signature.

His father broke down all three schools:
St. Johns: “St. John’s, of course, he’s home and he’d be playing in front of all his family and friends [from The Bronx]. That’s a dimension that they offer that no one else can. And the coaching staff has really been nice and showing him a lot of attention. Chris Mullin and Mitch Richmond, they bring a different element with that NBA experience and GM connection. They just got a plan for Sid, a three-year plan for him to get his degree and get him to the league.”

And the coaching staff has really been nice and showing him a lot of attention. Chris Mullin and Mitch Richmond, they bring a different element with that NBA experience and GM connection. They just got a plan for Sid, a three-year plan for him to get his degree and get him to the league.”
We are telling kids up front they can be gone in 3 years?

You don't usually come on so strong. I don't want to feel overconfident. Is your opinion in any way connected to his moving up his announcement date ?

Ironic how Malik passed away on May 20, 2000
Wow that is quite a coincidence as SW does remind me of MS also but I doubt SW is as strong an inside player or rebounder as MS and that is no knock as Malik was tremendous for his size and weight. He was a handful for Alonzo morning back in the day. Malik was a great player and a better person. RIP

Wilson will pick St.John's and then 15 minutes later we'll find out that he's not eligible to play.
How will everyone be spending their 15 minutes of bliss?

This kid won't make that much of a difference year 1 anyway. Could be nice down the road though

Why laughing ? Great strategy and with all our kids seemingly thinking they should leave after one initially, focusing on three is good. Duke does the same thing about graduating.

He should only turn out to be half of Malik.

Malik was a special person on and off the court.

An offseason of getting Dixon and Wilson is pretty good. What can we reasonably expect from him next year? Can we get a dozen solid minutes off the bench? Still think we need a fifth year senior big guy.

Not saying it would. Just looking at our roster a year from now. Lots of bodies at the 1-3 position (which is a good thing, believe me)
That was a big effect in recruiting this off season apparently (lots of bodies, not as much playing time as other schools)
-
I am officially out of the biz of saying anything. I couldn't be closer to Bamba and never did I hear Texas. Never. Now to be clear in no way have I ever implied in the past and especially not here insinuate anything shady. It's just their is SO much around these kids ... this Wilson situation is beyond bizarre and I'm guessing it will eventually come out. I'll end by saying this... all these kids have worked hard and deserve their announcement moment but ALOT of them, and I'm aware they're kids but ALOT of them need to mature and think a little before they speak/act
Thanks for the info you share. Talking about bizarre on the UCONN board they have an insider saying he's theirs.

And Duke is known in a different light when compared to SJU in terms of academics. Most players struggle to graduate in 4 or 5 years let alone 3 years.
As for the NBA angle sure go ahead and promise kids that. I guess its better than 1 and 2 year players. But I'd rather not plant the seed. Because most will feel I'm better than 3 years and it gets moved up to 2.
I know a lot of crap is promised during recruiting. Personally I think this specifically is a poor pitch.

This kind of feels like the last days of the Whitehead recruitment. Parents/coaches close to the kid leaking info saying they are heavy lean to one school to get what they want from the other one.
Assuming the guy on the Yukon board actually got inside info saying he's theirs, somebody is getting fake news

No, these folks are real crazy. Half of em already believe that Wilson's parents have Sid hostage, and that it's absolutely clear he wants to go to Uconn. That somehow if Sid chooses SJU tomorrow, he's being held against his will by parents and/or coaches, to choose uconn. It's quite hysterical...
-
Be very surprised, very surprised if he doesn't commit to SJU tomorrow.

If we land Wilson does that hinder our chances at Luther at all?
Why would it?
Because some St.John's fans think there is a quota on how many good basketball players we can have on the team at any one time and it is a very low number.

Good players want to play with other good players. Landing Sid would only helps us with the 2018 kids. As far a Luther I believe he is a guard so they would play together a lot and I don't think Luther is worried about a little competition anyway.

They also play different positions. Bigger question would be if it effects Boubacar Diakite. But with Ahmed leaving, he can step right in and have an immediate role.

Very true, but good players want to play with other good players, and we have been very publicly striking out. This puts both issues to rest as we try to get two top players in the class of 2018.

Great news Sid has decided to stay home.
Matt deserves a ton of credit here which is completely justified.
Focus now shifts to the 2018 class with prime targets Luther Muhammad and Moses Brown.

Huge addition, even for next season. Kid is long and mega athletic. Can play both forward spots. We will be fast and athletic as hell next year.

So I know people dont like to give Mitch Richmond any credit and every other post is about Mike Rice. But comments from his father suggest that Mitch was pretty valuable in bringing the kid in.

Ok self imposed sabatical over curtesy of Mr. Wilson(dad)....

Who was the last freshman that was a program changer in the BE? I'd go with Carmelo Anthony, and before that Iverson. Since Melo, I'd go with absolutely no one.

Happened last year. I think Shamorie Ponds is a game changer for our program. He was the first NYC recruit in the Mullin regime that stayed home and his play backed up the hype. According to reports he was at dinner and he helped pitch Sid to St Johns. Thats a game changer. If you mean on the court than no, he wasn't good enough to lead us to the were we want to be as a program. But he's definitely leading the way to (hopefully) brighter days for our basketball program.

I love Ponds, but a program changer in a generation type of talent. Markelle Fultz will be the #1 pick in the NBA draft. He was not a program changer.
That doesn't mean that Ponds isn't incredibly important. He's helping the staff recruit local talent, which is great, because they haven't landed anyone on their own in over a year.

Your right not a game changer his freshman year. But has nice upside and balances the classes . He will contribute his freshman year and provide depth. And w each year he will get stronger and improve. If we can get players like Sid and keep them as upperclassman we will be where we want to be. Don't need one and dones.

It was in the video fordham posted. About the 8 min mark.

Everytime I see the kid I see Corey Brewer when he was at Florida. Wilson reminds of Brewer both in resemblance and game.
That's who I see as well, albeit a little shorter.
I hope SJU fans keep this pickup in perspective. I've seen some wild card comps in this thread (Malik Sealy). He's not a top 15 kid. He can shoot his ass off and sometimes he falls in love with that aspect of his game and camps out on the left wing. Based on the highlights, he seems to have improved taking the ball to the hole. His left hand is still MIA, though.
I think we can expect what Polee gave us first year. He will just be on another level of talent from any of our other bigger players, but might not be as physically ready.
He pairs really well with Ponds and Simon, and I think that will really show his soph season.

Rough day? Nah, I won't be holding my breath with this guys decision. Nice player, but not a program changer, in the Big East anyway
Still 6pm today announcement?
He reclassified. He's back in 7th grade again

Well Sidney has good hands, is mobile, and very athletic. He can be an elite defender but needs to buy into doing it. Overall this is a tremendous signing especially this late in the game.
I'd probably rank him safely in the top 75 for 2017. Possibly top 50.

I see a lot of Moe Harkless

Except for Owens they all need to show buy-in on the defensive end. Biggest thing which needs to be improved next year.

First I would like to apologize to Abs for doubting him after the IK loss, this signing solidifies our 2018 NCAA Tourney run, CLUTCH.
Selfless acts displayed by Marcus attending Shamorie's Jefferson games last year and now Shamorie attending a recruiting dinner to land Sid will bode well for overall team chemistry. Abs tweeted it out yesterday, it's a family atmosphere, easy to root for.
We officially have NYC flavor. Shamorie, Bash, and Sid representing the program will be publicized and appreciated by our fan base.
Now the fun begins. A summer of tinkering with potential lineups-
Going small-
Marcus/Shamorie/JSimon/Bash/Marv
Going big-
Shamorie/Bash/Sid/Marv/Tariq
We are interchangeable, multi faceted, athletic, and potent offensively. Our OOC schedule is imposing, but I'm ready to roll w this unit.

Exactly. If he doesn't bother to box out, he'd actually fit right in. We can definitely use another athletic wing. We always can, but it would be great if the staff realized that they should have addressed their biggest need. I think Sid will help us, but I'm not expecting him to help us where we'll need him to help us this year. Don't see how a 170 pound SF is going to solve our rebounding woes.

Sid's tribute to Malik was a class move and shows respect for NYC and SJU basketball history. I will be rooting hard for him to become someone we will be proud of both on and off the court. Good luck Sid.
-
I definitely see the Polee comparisons, and I don't think it should be considered an insult. Polee ended up being a very good college basketball player. Obviously you hope he's more like Harkless, but he's got the springy hops, and skinny frame that reminds me of Polee

No offense, but some of y'all kill me with these comparisons and wanting to compare "so and so" to "so and "so," as soon as we land a player. You know who I see in most players? Themselves. Only a very, select few who I see is similar or mimics another player. Extremely, select few.

Just saying that he looks kind of raw similar to Polee when he was in Queens. Can run, jump and dunk.

I don't think he's much like Polee at all. Wilson can handle the ball, and he has better hands. Polee was good but Wilson can give us more. That said, IDK this kid's make up, what kind of personality he is and if he plans on adding muscle this off season. We'll see who shows up in November.

Agree as to Polee. Also don't see the Harkless comparison as Hark was much stronger and a better rebounder. For comparison, he might be more like Malik Seely who could score with good hops but averaged around 6R's a game.

He isn't more active on the glass...he's a better shooter and more skilled player. Polee was more of a hybrid as a freshman. Sid is a true SF.

Harkless wasn't the player that Malik Sealy was. Not in regards to anything. The BE that Malik Sealy played in featured NBA all stars in just about every frontcourt. Ours included.

I only see Sidney Wilson. That's it.

Not suggesting that he's better than Shumpert. He's a different kind of player.

Someone said CJ Fair. I can see that. He's got that same turn around jumper.
What we can't see is how he plays from the neck up. CJ Fair wasn't the freak athlete this kid is, but he played like a senior when he was a freshman.

He looks a little like every Cuse wing. He's the kind of kid that goes to Cuse as skinny runt and does nothing his first year and a half, looks decent to end his soph year, and then shows up heavier/stronger and a killer as a junior.
He's a good pickup, it's a little odd how people are making him out to be a star. Ponds and Simon were rated well ahead of him and Yakwe and Lovett right around him.

It's not odd that people are making him out to be a star. He's a NY player so SJU fans automatically raise his profile 10 fold.
For the record I like the pickup a lot. Just pointing out how SJU operate when it comes to hometown players.

Dave, you're right. Jerami Grant might be perfect comparison. I thing Wilson has a bit more range at this point, but not quite as strong as Grant.

I don't think SJU fans are pumping him up any more than usual.. We are talking about a local player who's ranked in the 60-90 range, which is quite good. We also beat out some high profile schools for him. It's a big win for us. I haven't seen anybody call him Darius Miles.
I think that everybody envisions a team with a core with this exact type of local player. Kids like Ponds, Wilson etc. It's going to be our recipe for success, if we want some sustained success.

Jerami Grant is a freak show athletically. He is one of the best athletes in the world and that allows him to play in the NBA with less than average skills. Sid is a shooter and dunker like many kids in this era. Grant could never shoot....he didn't make a single shot his soph season. Wilson will be a kid that takes 5 treys a game or more as a soph. Shumpert was a good athlete with the same size as Sid and could really stroke it. I don't think posters understand how big the three point shot is to Sid's game.

I think you are overstating his shooting and understating his athletic ability. Closer to grant than shumpert in terms of athleticism. I will bet you any amount of beers that Sid does not take 5 3's a game as a soph. That's crazy.

Hey, if he's that athletic and that good of a shooter to trey range, he will have an excellent career. Mullin can help him hone tha.
-
From Rivals:
It took a while, but St. John's got on the board in the high school class of 2017 when Bronx native Sidney Wilson committed to the Red Storm.
Wilson spent the last year at Wolfeboro (N.H.) Brewster Academy and had planned to take a post graduate year and be a member of the class of 2018. However, his game took off at Brewster and there wasn't any need to hold off on a decision.
A four-star prospect who had risen all the way up to No. 58 nationally in the class of 2018, Wilson is a long and wiry wing with plus athleticism who is at his best as a slasher to the rim and transition finisher. His length and quickness will allow him to develop into a high-level defender if he wants to put in the effort to be one, and his jump shot shows promise.
Strength, or lack of it, could still be an issue for Wilson as a freshman, but his addition is a huge one for Chris Mullin and has staff. St. John's has also landed Quinnipiac transfer Mikey Dixon in this recruiting cycle.
-
Hell I would take Polee. Hate comparing kids before they have played a game. Everyone does it but then kid gets slaughtered for not being that guy.

No one should be expecting Cj Fair. Like Dave said, he's not as polished as Fair was. I see what he means when I watch the video, but I don't think Sid is raw like Yakwe is raw. He's played as much basketball in his lifetime as we could have hoped for.
I'll one up you this time and see if you agree. He's much more than a good pickup. He's a great recruit for our program and for this staff. He is what this staff was brought here to keep here. I'd say this is a great pickup. We can show that NYC kids can win at St.John's.
Still holding out hope that we'll add a big man who can add some experience inside.

You are in for a surprise then my friend. I'll set the over under at 4 three point attempts per game and take the over. Sid is definitely more bouncy than Shumpert, but he's nowhere near that freak show Grant. Shumpert also was more athletic before Cuse put 20 lbs on him.
I'd be ecstatic if Sid did his damage inside the three point line. He's be a scary player. And to Poison, I completely agree with your post. Sid is the type of kid you build programs with. But it takes 5-6 of him.

Sid is a shooter and dunker like many kids in this era. Grant could never shoot....he didn't make a single shot his soph season. Wilson will be a kid that takes 5 treys a game or more as a soph. Shumpert was a good athlete with the same size as Sid and could really stroke it. I don't think posters understand how big the three point shot is to Sid's game.
I think you are overstating his shooting and understating his athletic ability. Closer to grant than shumpert in terms of athleticism. I will bet you any amount of beers that Sid does not take 5 3's a game as a soph. That's crazy.
You are in for a surprise then my friend. I'll set the over under at 4 three point attempts per game and take the over. Sid is definitely more bouncy than Shumpert, but he's nowhere near that freak show Grant. Shumpert also was more athletic before Cuse put 20 lbs on him.
Huh?

CJ was much more smooth. Sid is more like Jeremi Grant.
Dave, you're right. Jerami Grant might be perfect comparison. I thing Wilson has a bit more range at this point, but not quite as strong as Grant.
Stop!!!!

Sid is not a shooter nor is the 3 point shot a part of his game. Over 2 seasons of travel ball (32 games) he's shot 8 of 27 from three which is just over 29%. I compared him more to Jeremi Grant because he relies more on his superior athleticism and quickness in the paint than overall skill at this stage in his development.

Sid is not Yakwe raw. Better hands, better feel, and more capable offensively.

That is fine for our team too. We have Shamorie, Bash, Lovett and Mussini can all hit the 3 so we can use a guy who goes to the hoop and makes the defense collapse. I think his game will fit in very nicely.

It is incorrect to lump his shooting in with other skills. His handle needs a ton of work...his shot is already right there. You'll see his soph season.

Zack reporting that Sid will be in the dorms and summer school next week. Great to see that he is starting now, both academically and athletically. This is what Richard should have done to prepare and get to know teammates.

I really appreciate Marillac's passion and conviction but this one is way off. I've seen Sid in person play about 40+ games of travel ball and a handful of high school games and he's never been a deep threat and does most of his work in the paint. I even checked on Synergy today to verify a few things.
13.5% of his scoring attempts were spot up jump shots.
Out of that 13.5%....
42% no dribble
7% dribble
16% runner
30.2% to basket
5% turnover/fouled
The rest of his scoring...
31.7% in transition
16.9% offensive rebounds (put backs)
16% cuts to basket
5% iso
4.4% post up
I rewatched every 3 point attempt he's taken over the past two years and it's really safe to say it's not his game which is fine because he's a very effective scorer going to and around the basket.

Hence why I said he's active on the glass. He definitely can be a stretch four. If he wants to advance, it will be as a wing and he needs range. Even one of his coaches had said he's just starting to step outside of being a post-type player to paraphrase. We should all be thankful he's active on the glass and not yet an outside chucker. The kid will get a ton of baskets off offensive glass and putbacks. I think as a soph and beyond you might see him step up his shots to range a bit more. The Jerian Grant thing was spot-on.

I'm sure he thinks he's a 3. Every coach in America probably told him that too and in the NBA that is what he'd have to be.
He's capable of being a pick and pop forward but needs to really develop better footwork and more consistent release. My concern with Sid is more mental/maturity than physical but there is no doubt he's gonna be a match up problem for teams. He's definitely going to be a good contributor from day 1.

Kid goes hard at the glass. We have very few guys that do that. He's too athletic for most guys to cover him going hard to the glass. Anything else he develops under Mullin and Richmond will be a big bonus...

And it should be just fine with all of us if he puts up 3.5 points and pulls down 2.5 rebounds as a freshman with a senior SF playing ahead of him. The fact that he's headed to campus now certainly leads me to believe that he is serious about getting ready for next year.

It is incorrect to lump his shooting in with other skills. His handle needs a ton of work...his shot is already right there. You'll see his soph season.
I'm a little confused. What are you basing this off of?
Watching him play since his freshman year.
You think a player who attempted 27 3s over 32 games, and hitting under 30% of them, is going to shoot 4+ per game? God, I hope not.
I really appreciate Marillac's passion and conviction but this one is way off. I've seen Sid in person play about 40+ games of travel ball and a handful of high school games and he's never been a deep threat and does most of his work in the paint. I even checked on Synergy today to verify a few things.
13.5% of his scoring attempts were spot up jump shots.
Out of that 13.5%....
42% no dribble
7% dribble
16% runner
30.2% to basket
5% turnover/fouled
The rest of his scoring...
31.7% in transition
16.9% offensive rebounds (put backs)
16% cuts to basket
5% iso
4.4% post up
I rewatched every 3 point attempt he's taken over the past two years and it's really safe to say it's not his game which is fine because he's a very effective scorer going to and around the basket.
can you see him being a stretch 4 ?
I'm sure he thinks he's a 3. Every coach in America probably told him that too and in the NBA that is what he'd have to be.
He's capable of being a pick and pop forward but needs to really develop better footwork and more consistent release. My concern with Sid is more mental/maturity than physical but there is no doubt he's gonna be a match up problem for teams. He's definitely going to be a good contributor from day 1.
And it should be just fine with all of us if he puts up 3.5 points and pulls down 2.5 rebounds as a freshman with a senior SF playing ahead of him. The fact that he's headed to campus now certainly leads me to believe that he is serious about getting ready for next year.
good point

CJ was much more smooth. Sid is more like Jeremi Grant.
Dave, you're right. Jerami Grant might be perfect comparison. I thing Wilson has a bit more range at this point, but not quite as strong as Grant.
Stop!!!!
You don't like it? I think it's a lot closer than Shumpert.
Jerami Grant is a freak show athletically. He is one of the best athletes in the world and that allows him to play in the NBA with less than average skills. Sid is a shooter and dunker like many kids in this era. Grant could never shoot....he didn't make a single shot his soph season. Wilson will be a kid that takes 5 treys a game or more as a soph. Shumpert was a good athlete with the same size as Sid and could really stroke it. I don't think posters understand how big the three point shot is to Sid's game.

Since when were summer stats relevant? It's a guard dominated game that is up and down and forwards and centers have to score in transition, off their own rebounds, or hoist shots when they get the chance--many ill advised and often off the bounce. Sid is a very good set shooter, especially considering his size and athletic ability. In fact, his biggest obstacle at the next level may very well be becoming over reliant on the three in the half court instead of mixing it up. He's at his best when he's around the rim and in the lane. I'd sign right now for him averaging 14 and 6 with only 1-2 three or attempts per game as a soph. As a freshman, I think we'll see him in Polee's old role, so I wouldn't give much weight to his shooting stats.

I guess all 30 NBA teams and almost every D1 are wasting their time subscribing to game film and advanced stats from summer travel ball. College coaches must be wasting their time traveling in April and July to watch it too.
He might attempt 1-2 threes a game but there is a good chance he's not making them.
-
Dave touched on something briefly but very important. Sid has the skills and athleticism to grow and elevate almost any part of his game that might currently be deficient. Let's hope his early arrival and time spent with some upper classmen helps his maturity level. Good kid but like many young men he needs a little growing time

Lol talk about all or nothing. Travel ball is HUGE for other reasons. It's the best way to see how kids compare to the best talents.
Any way, we shall see soon enough so it's not worth debating further. We got a very good player and I'd be ecstatic if he only attempts 1-2 treys as a soph and junior.

Totally agree. He'll be a young freshman. Really, just look at him. He's skinnier than Owens. Hopefully, he can be a versatile burst of energy off the bench.

Moe was a young freshman at about the same size and skill-set. Let's hope Sid blossoms and matures like #4 did.

Moe and Jakarr weren't three point shooters at all here and made the NBA. Who cares?

Because Moe got drafted in the 1st round, JaKarr wasn't drafted at all.... Moe just signed a $40mm+ contract and JaKarr is in the D-League?
The difference? Shooting.

Moe got polished in the NBA. Jakarr just didn't have the same abilities. But what I'm saying is Sid doesn't have to worry about making 3's while here. Play your game.

Wilson's coach at Brewster raves about his speed, athleticism & improved mid range shooting. I'll go with that.

Moe was a good shooter before he came here. You have to throw freshman shooting stats out the window especially for bigger players. There is so much to learn and adjust to. Moe would have been a killer from three as a soph and especially a junior if he stayed.

3P% - .274, .383, .179, .279, .351 (career .315)

First, there is a huge difference between the NBA and college. A team with 2-3 players that can play 20 MPG in the NBA is probably competing for the Final Four if there is any semblance of coaching.
Moe shot 27.4% from three as 19 year old NBA rookie (longer distance than college) and then upped that to 38.3% as a 20 year old second year player. I think we would have seen the same adjustment at SJU if he stayed for a second year. That seems to be the norm for second year forwards in college (e.g., Derrick Willams shot 25% from three as a frosh for Zona and then 56.8% as a soph on two attempts per game). Tobias Harris then went to Orlando and ruined Moe's role. Moe has always been a guy that has been plagued by confidence and aggressiveness issues. His best days are ahead of him in the NBA. He shot over 35% this past season from deep on 2.5 attempts. To reduce his career in the NBA to just defense is silly. Sampson has just as much defensive potential, but only a fraction of Moe's ceiling.
As for Sid, his own coach described him as a great "catch and shoot" player. In transition or going downhill in a well spaced half court, he's going to be a star. In the half court against good defensive teams where space is hard to come by he is going to struggle a bit at first, as he tended to default to standing on the left wing waiting for looks while at St. Ray's (I can't speak for Brewster). He's not a guy that you can pound it into inside or a guy that has the handle (yet) to separate off the bounce. He is going to rely on our guards to set him up as a frosh or go get it off the glass. I hope we see a lot of the latter.

Yes, he improved to 38% his second year. He followed that up by shooting 18% and 28%. He's a career 31% 3pt shooter. That is below average. If he was not a good defender, he would not be on a roster. That is not to say he can't potentially get better offensively, but an NBA team would not have given him 5 years to do it if he wasn't a plus defender.
I haven't seen enough of Sid to know what kind of player he is. If he can turn into Harkless or Harkless Lite (Can grab some rebounds and disrupt shots and passing lanes while scoring around the basket and hitting the occasional jumper) I'll be more than happy.

To be clear, I'm not comparing him to Harkless. I was just defending Moe's shooting ability. Forwards tend to have a much tougher time from deep as freshmen than guards. Guards have the ball in their hands more often and forwards have to learn to get their looks within an offense and depend on others to get them the ball in the right spots. If Sid wants to mix it up and stay off the three point line, we all win. I think he will be astonishingly similar to Polee as a frosh.
As for Harkless, I don't think he became a worse shooter after he put up 38.3% in his second year. I think Tobias Harris disrupted his game and took away his role. If he missed from deep, he went to the bench. That spells disaster 99% of the time for any shooter.

Moe was a good shooter before he came here. You have to throw freshman shooting stats out the window especially for bigger players. There is so much to learn and adjust to. Moe would have been a killer from three as a soph and especially a junior if he stayed.
Moe is still not a good shooter (although this past year he wasn't too bad). He's in the NBA for his defense.
3P% - .274, .383, .179, .279, .351 (career .315)
The NBA average generally hovers around 35-36%
Moe shot 27.4% from three as 19 year old NBA rookie (longer distance than college) and then upped that to 38.3% as a 20 year old second year player. I think we would have seen the same adjustment at SJU if he stayed for a second year. That seems to be the norm for second year forwards in college (e.g., Derrick Willams shot 25% from three as a frosh for Zona and then 56.8% as a soph on two attempts per game). Tobias Harris then went to Orlando and ruined Moe's role. Moe has always been a guy that has been plagued by confidence and aggressiveness issues. His best days are ahead of him in the NBA. He shot over 35% this past season from deep on 2.5 attempts. To reduce his career in the NBA to just defense is silly. Sampson has just as much defensive potential, but only a fraction of Moe's ceiling.
Yes, he improved to 38% his second year. He followed that up by shooting 18% and 28%. He's a career 31% 3pt shooter. That is below average. If he was not a good defender, he would not be on a roster. That is not to say he can't potentially get better offensively, but an NBA team would not have given him 5 years to do it if he wasn't a plus defender.
I haven't seen enough of Sid to know what kind of player he is. If he can turn into Harkless or Harkless Lite (Can grab some rebounds and disrupt shots and passing lanes while scoring around the basket and hitting the occasional jumper) I'll be more than happy.
To be clear, I'm not comparing him to Harkless. I was just defending Moe's shooting ability. Forwards tend to have a much tougher time from deep as freshmen than guards. Guards have the ball in their hands more often and forwards have to learn to get their looks within an offense and depend on others to get them the ball in the right spots. If Sid wants to mix it up and stay off the three point line, we all win. I think he will be astonishingly similar to Polee as a frosh.
As for Harkless, I don't think he became a worse shooter after he put up 38.3% in his second year. I think Tobias Harris disrupted his game and took away his role. If he missed from deep, he went to the bench. That spells disaster 99% of the time for any shooter.
OMG blaming Tobias Harris for years of Mo's poor 3 point shooting. Hey we can use Tobias as a scapegoat on all the ills of the world if we can blame him for Mo's shooting. Let's start with global warming. :idiot2: :uglystupid2: :2funny:

Moe and Jakarr weren't three point shooters at all here and made the NBA. Who cares?
Because Moe got drafted in the 1st round, JaKarr wasn't drafted at all.... Moe just signed a $40mm+ contract and JaKarr is in the D-League?
The difference? Shooting.
By the end of the season Harkless looked polished. He dropped a ton on Duke, WV etc. Sampson was stopped by the better teams.

Moe's shooting %s correlate almost exactly to his minutes. You don't think someone can be affected by a reduced role? That's ridiculous.
26 MPG - 27.4% (Rookie Year)
24 MPG - 38.3%
15 MPG - 17.9%
18.7 MPG - 27.9% (First year with Blazers)
28.9 MPG - 35.1%
His overall FG% follow suit as well and even his FT %. Confidence is a huge part of the game and who can be confident playing 15 MPG knowing they are going to get pulled after every miss? I've seen that ruin some really good shooters careers.

I'd like to see Ahmed show off more of a post up game this year. He's got to be more like a DJ Kennedy for us and play all inside and out. Hopefully Wilson can follow suit, but seriously, how has this kid not realized that he needs to get to a gym and put on some muscle?

I think the biggest thing for Ahmed is playing under control consistently. The skills are all there for him if he can learn how to play with pace.

Well yes, he was a mess fairly often last year, but last year was his first year, and for a first year player, he was very good. Seniors have a way of putting it all together. He's clearly talented. I think this team dances if he's ready for his senior year.

The Celtics dont rebound and lost in the ECF. If you are good enough at other things, you can make the tourney without rebounding. You just wont make it more than a few rounds.

I think his out of control play is a product of playing 2 years in a shit juco league. He's only had one season of real basketball. As a senior, I think our season hinges on how much he's matured. Putting his name in the NBA draft only to be evaluated should tell us that he does care about getting better, and he's got a good head on his shoulders.

Ahmed recently posted a few Instagram videos (@bash_ahmed1) of himself working out in the gym. He was doing a lot of off the dribble stuff, attacking the basket, and ball handling. He clearly is showing a commitment to improving his game. His senior year should be fun assuming he ties it all together.

There won't be a PF in the country he can't get behind in transition when he's playing the four for us. Easy points will be nice after a few years of not having them.

This guy must write his stories from a form letter. You can't use "plied his trade"'and
"speculative fiction" on back to back player writeups.
-
Reguarding a post on the other site it is unfortunately 100% correct ... Sid is not happy and as of now does not want to be here. I can say with 100% certainty that he explored options to leave without having to sit( obviously their are none) but it was Texas not Uconn he would have left for. Thus information is correct. Period. And was accurate as of late July. Might have his situation, thoughts change, yes. Bottom line is he will be playing for SJU this season
-
I heard the same thing this weekend.
-
So even when we do land a 4 star guy they look to get out before even playing a game here
-
Freshmen having mixed emotions and trouble adapting to their new environment's ubiquitous on every college campus. Let the season play out, have him get acquainted w the student body, give him major minutes in the Fall and hopefully we have him for the second semester, this is not good news for our future, jeez.
-
The good feeling surrounding the program after we landed Sid and seemed in good position with a bunch of great 2018 prospects , sure did disappear quickly. Back to the same old BS here....

Hopefully, he has a change of heart once the season starts and after it ends. Otherwise, he sounds like a high, probability to transfer after the season.
I would add in a couple of other things (not related to Wilson or any other recruiting situation, but in regards to a handful of posters over at Redmen), but I digress.
-
Get rid of this guy now. He will destroy whatever chemistry the team has. I gues$ that bag wasn't big enough.
-
This is very disappointing to hear. Hopefully things get better.

Nothing ever surprises me with SJU anymore
Nothing
Maybe some more people should have been present during his visit

-
Why does it always seem like pulling teeth to get guys to sign with us. ::)
-
So, school hasn't even started yet and Sid Wilson wants out? Maybe he'll stick around anyway. Good thing the staff didn't waste their time bothering to recruit a grad transfer big.
-
Lots of UCONN booster pressure was placed on his handlers and they felt they had him, explains why the Boneyard was so confident. And they didn't stop even after he signed and enrolled.
He is at SJU for the forseeable future and right now that is all that matters.
-
How involved is Jason Smith/Brewster?
-
The only thing left to do is win more games. Otherwise this nonsense that goes on around so many of our recruits/players will continue.
-
Give him this season and let's see what happens. The kid just recently stepped on campus and all is new. Lots of kids have a hard time adjusting. SJU should be quite competitive this season and he should get plenty of playing time. This stuff isn't specific to SJU as well. Taurean Thompson just left Cuse and they've had plenty of transfers in recent years. This is par the course. Hopefully once he settles in at school and season begins he gets adjusted and starts enjoying his time more, but it's early.
-
And to think that people still want Yukon back in the BE. Dating back to the Doug Wiggins saga and Calhoun era, I want to keep them as far as way from our program as possible. Ollie might be a stand up guy but their fan base is terribly obnoxious and it seems as if their boosters are twice as slimy.

St. John's freshman Sid Wilson, a four-star recruit from the Bronx, has decided to transfer, sources tell me. #sjubb
BYEEEEEE

LOL. Just have to laugh at all of this crap at this point

@NYPost_Brazille
For Sid Wilson, being home was a "burden," source said. #sjubb
-
Implosion
-
This is one of the most bizarre things I have seen happen, and for St. John's that's saying a lot. How does a freshman decide to transfer before official practice and games even start?
-
So is he going to play first semester and then transfer? Or is he leaving now?
-
To recap our summer in no particular order:
Don't even make Naz Reid's top 8 or whatever it was
Don't even make Nas Little's top 5
Not in the conversation with Bol Bol
Not really in the mix with Luguentz Dort
Still a longshot for Moses Brown
Still a longshot for Jordan Brown
Not hiring Mike Rice, which likely means no chance at Scottie Lewis
Sid Wilson leaves program before classes start
Wouldn't be surprised to see Luther pop for tOSU or whoever after his visits with how things are going
-

Leaving now. Makes 0 sense to play a semester when you know you are transferring anyway

Foreseeable future? Looks like that ended. Today.
-
He basically robbed St Johns and Matt A. The father wanted St Johns and Matt hijacked that. FYI, there is more coming
-
Zach's article basically said he was convinced to stay on Monday and changed his mind on Tuesday. 17-18 year olds.

wtf is going on

I still think (and even hearing) we'll land Muhammad, but I wouldn't be overly-shocked if we didn't land Muhammad. If we can somehow land Jordan Brown, Muhammad, and Josh Roberts, then I'm certainly fine with that class. Any class with Jordan Brown attached to it will suffice with me. But, I'm not feeling confident on that particular front.
Today's scenario with Wilson can be rectified, but it's bad look from an optics standpoint. It kills depth and takes away a potential talented player.
I'll say it again, this season is very, critical for us on the court and on the recruiting circuit. If we're not up to snuff on both, then that could be the death knell for this staff.

UConn fans saw this coming from a mile away. He never wanted st johns over UConn

You could've came here to say that prior or even after Wilson's announcement. It's easy to say that now, clown.

Dude! Get the hell outta here yapping after the fact. Regardless, what was said over on UConn's board.... If you had been saying that--on this particular board--previously or directly after his announcement, then I'd have some respect for you.
I'd like for you to return once he commits to Texas.

Lol Nah he's UConn bound. DONE DEAL. I just wanted to come here and drink your tears LMAOOO

Sounds like he was upset at being the worst and youngest kid on a very talented roster all Summer. Too bad he was shortsighted bc he would've gotten important minutes and given plenty of developmental attention over his career. This makes me wish that Malik were still here. Nevermind Darien, Moose or Rich. Reading about BTrim is pleasing amidst the chaos. Bottomline he was the 10th man within a deep roster. But like Baldi has pointed out this month in the Holifield thread one injury would expose the total number of scholarships. Turns out it was a unforeseen transfer before Fall practice even started. You can't make it up. Atleast the next two months will be with a roster made up of committed, invested kids ready to play together. I'd rather this happen now than spoil the entire first semester.

Its not about the AAC. Its about UConn v St Johns and UConn is simply on another level. The 80's and 90's are long gone. Kids dont put st johns in the same class as UConn. PERIOD

We don't need the drama. The kid was missing workouts? So let me get this straight, instead of joining his teammates and working on getting better with a solid group of guys, he's off entertaining offers? Please. Goodbye.

So what happens when he commits to Texas? I'm confident he wants to play at high major schools.
LOL
So the AAC is not mid major?
Its not about the AAC. Its about UConn v St Johns and UConn is simply on another level. The 80's and 90's are long gone. Kids dont put st johns in the same class as UConn. PERIOD
Lol, you guys are losing recruits to Rutgers and getting embarrassed by Providence. I don't think a AAC school which is looking up to Witchita state should talk. Hope you guys enjoy Jalen Adams last year and tell Tremont Waters I said hi ( oh wait).
Uconn sucks. They haven't won a championship in over 3 years.

I wonder how much of this jellyfam stuff played into it? Seems like Nike is taking an interest in this whole jelly thing. Not a coincidence I bet that Uconn and Texas are both Nike schools. Seems like that angle is being overlooked. They can spin the doesn't want to be close to home story but I don't completely buy it.

so when do we play UConn, maybe next year.
You know we'd bitch slap that trash pos school.

We have more fans than Pukon they just don't show up for the games, watch them on TV or generally follow the team. ???

Ok so now that we are done with letting a little dog piss on our front lawn, can we get a second recruiter please????

Lots of UCONN booster pressure was placed on his handlers and they felt they had him, explains why the Vineyard was so confident. And they didn't stop even after he signed and enrolled.
He is at SJU for the forseeable future and right now that is all that matters.
Foreseeable future? Looks like that ended. Today.
Yup, Zach's article is correct. They met last night and it appeared he would stay. Everything changed.
-
This kid sounds like Rysheed Jordan... good riddance. And Yukon is rotting in he AAC. They were great under Calhoun, but Ollie won with Calhoun's team, let's face it. I envied uconn under Calhoun. Definitely not now... as far as recruiting though, this sucks. Wish this brat no luck in future endeavors.

Agree it sucks, but "brat" doesn't seem appropriate. Kid loses mom, leaves HS in area for New Hampshire. Leaving likely was retreat, coming back not good mrmories, people etc.
We can only imagine how many conflicting people are in recruits ear before decision...including our own staff doing their job to influence decision in our favor

Hopefully Chris isn't anymore. I know the Swiss Guard will slay me for this, but Chris needs to make a change here and at the very least bring in a second recruiter.
-
If they don't get more W's none of those big recruits will ever seriously entertain SJU. This year is critical for Mullin and staff.
-
If anyone knows this situation knows Chris is as much to blame as anyone for this.
With or without Sid, they need to win this year and that is the job of the HC.

Living in NYC is great. Listen, I give mad props to UCONN for what its done the last 25 or so years. Calhoun built that program from a wasteland to one of the best in the country. The bar is high, hence the disappointment from my UCONN fan friends the past few years, and you are correct in saying we haven't been on the same level for a long time. No one here needed you to tell us that. Didn't see why you needed to kick us when we are down. Losing this kid at this point sucks, as it goes hand-in-hand with the continued drama most of us diehards are sick of.
I was happy that Sid popped. If he was going to be a problem child, better that this happened now as Baldi and others said. We don't need that s*** with the talented kids we have.

Don't know if that is what fordham was alluding too bit if it is I have heard from two different sources that CM runs an extremely loose ship.

Look I am not sure how you blame an assistant coach for any recruit for so many reasons. I mean who runs the program? Who can veto ANY recruit? Who decides ultimately who is on the team and who is not? Heck who decides who the assistants are? Matt saw an opportunity to recruit a top 60 kid after he re-classed and took advantage. It was a risk in the sense that the kid consistently did not list SJU earlier indicating that he probably did not want to be in NYC. But they weren't using that scholarship for someone else that late anyway.
And yes I think Chris could have done a little more but ultimately this recruit was probably heading towards this conclusion.

It's entirely appropriate. He committed here. He's been whining on social media apparently . Now decides to leave as the semester begins. Tired of these primadonas.
-
What's sad to me is kid, through his athletic ability, earned a free ride to multiple schools.
He has family pushing one way and others elsewhere.
Why couldn't he just pick where he wanted to go from the very start? Do the kids get cuts of the $$ from the "handlers"?
-
Sid was always aloof. Not sure how far back this thread goes. Not totally shocked here.
-

Yup, I've heard that the staff wasn't sure if this commitment would stick hence their pursuit of Trimble. I've also heard that Trimble has had a very good summer and would have taken a few minutes away from Sid at the 3 or Trimble would play the 2 and slide Simon to the 3 spot.
-
The Trimble is taking his minutes narrative is ridiculous. Sid was gonna play the 3 and 4
-
Matt A kool aid needs to be put down, not nearly as impressive as the yes men were saying
-
Agree on Trimble not being merited here. Question will be if Lovett & Simon get 30+ each at 1 &2, then that leaves only 20 min between Trimble & Simon. Assume that gets split 13 for Simon and 7 for Trimble, I'd still see Simon getting at least another 7-12+ at the 3, along with Ahmed.
To me, this means for maybe extra minutes for Yakwe, Ali B, Clark & Owens....will have to live with that

Dead on here. This doesn't impact the guards much if any but does impact the few bigs we do have. More playing time Ali is a very bad thing and if Yakwe doesn't take a huge leap this year then more minutes for him is bad for us as well. This also means we absolutely can not survive any injuries or missed games from Owens and Clark now

The Trimble is taking his minutes narrative is ridiculous. Sid was gonna play the 3 and 4
I like what I see in Trimble. Defense will define him, though. I do think he is much more ready to play the three than Sid this year. I saw Sid as a 4/3, eventually becoming a pure 3.
I've said all along this kid has top 25 hype and baggage and he's not a top 50 caliber talent. I'm not sure why fans, especially Uconn fans, are so amped about this kid.

Uconn has no choice but to be amped for him. Outside of Jalen Adams they really don't have anybody else to fall on.

Gilbert would start over Marcus LoVett or Shamorie Ponds? I don't think so man. LoVett is a fit version of El Amin, and Ponds is gonna put up 20 per. Gilbert can't shoot the three. Johnnies are deeper than Uconn if only because the Huskies have lost their identity. Frankly, I'm really surprised with the drop off. Larrier hasn't played to his high school ranking, and that's kinda the case with Gilbert to a much lesser extent because of his injury, but still, it's like Gilbert is a freshman again. I think Wilson smelled playing time. He probably thinks of himself as a 2/3, and that's where there is a log jam with Ahmed taking 25+ minutes and Simon. Where would this kid play other than the 4 or the 5, but look at him? Playing C/PF in the BE? No.

Lol, the only player on that AAC team that can start here is Jalen Adams and that's a stretch. Is Terry Larrier even healthy yet? I agree with the above poster, Sid sees playing time with uconn and MAY go for it ( still think it's Texas) . Our plan was to have Sid develop into a leader and star by his junior year. Looking at your roster, you need him now.

You are wasting your time gloating like a piece of sh*t over a borderline top 100 talent on a St. John's basketball fan forum? Jesus Christ, if that doesn't put Uconn's fall in perspective than nothing will. Your team is in the AAC!!!!! Accept reality. Most St. John's fans accepted our reality a decade ago. Uconn basketball is on an inevitable path to complete mediocrity. May I suggest adding another hobby? Maybe you can embrace other memories you had while at Uconn like that time you slept with a drunken 200 pound white walker with a disgusting New England accent at Husky Blues?

Agree with you here. Not knocking Sid but weighing 170 pounds would not be ideal playing the 4 in the BE.

Does anyone know if he took summer classes..?

If Trimble is playing the 3 then we're in real trouble. A 6'3 200 lb wing strikes fear into no one. The apologist theories on here get real old. There's only one thing left to do and that's win a lot starting in November. Otherwise the revolving door will keep on turning.

I agree with the above poster, Sid sees playing time with uconn and MAY go for it ( still think it's Texas) . Our plan was to have Sid develop into a leader and star by his junior year. Looking at your roster, you need him now.
Jalen Adams is by far better than anyone on st johns. I promise. Rique and TL are indeed healthy. I wish you guys were on our schedule so we could wipe the floor with you lol
This is laughable. SJU would destroy Uconn this season. I wish both Cuse and Uconn were on schedule. The Orange already got tired of getting smeared by SJU so they quit the series. Yukon plays in one of the worst conferences in D1 ball. It's a cesspool. I'm actually happy we have a Yukon fan here talking trash. It's indicative of the state of that program. We've known plenty of suffering... happy to share some with you guys! 😝

Does anyone know if he took summer classes..?
Believe he did. Of more concern should be his close friendship with Moses Brown. If staff is to blame for his decision it will not bode well with us for Moses. Heard this past weekend the tide may have been turning a bit in our favor with Brown.

If Trimble is playing the 3 then we're in real trouble. A 6'3 200 lb wing strikes fear into no one. The apologist theories on here get real old. There's only one thing left to do and that's win a lot starting in November. Otherwise the revolving door will keep on turning.
Is there still time to add another player? Doubtful, but this is on the staff. They didn't have enough players before Wilson quit. Either they make the tournament this season, or they should move on and hire a real coach. Enough of this shit. At some point you gotta blame the system.

Highly doubtful but with this program who the hell knows. Yeah no doubt they missed out all summer on that extra big and hopefully it doesn't come back to bite us this season. This is the year to turn the corner or else it's groundhog day again.

It just came back to bite us. Amar Alibegivic - this is your chance. Team can still be good, but they can't have injuries. Only thing is we always have them, and my criticism of this staff is in not recognizing that. They've brought some very talented high major D1 players, but it doesn't look like they've addressed their interior defense and rebounding. Owens and Clarke have a lot of pressure on them. There's no one else.

Damn!!!

I just wish we'd start ONE #$%^in season without the #$%^in drama before I #$%^in die.

The Trimble is taking his minutes narrative is ridiculous. Sid was gonna play the 3 and 4
I like what I see in Trimble. Defense will define him, though. I do think he is much more ready to play the three than Sid this year. I saw Sid as a 4/3, eventually becoming a pure 3.
I've said all along this kid has top 25 hype and baggage and he's not a top 50 caliber talent. I'm not sure why fans, especially Uconn fans, are so amped about this kid.
Uconn has no choice but to be amped for him. Outside of Jalen Adams they really don't have anybody else to fall on.

I don't think we'd destroy Uconn. We were young last year and they were banged up. Thing is, you don't know if kids like Larrier and Gilbert will be able to play a full season. Some people are just injury prone. Also, I'm not comfortable with this guy calling Gilbert "Rique". He's played in 10 games and one of those was a loss to Wagner. He doesn't deserve a nickname yet. I will call him Gilbert. The Johnnies had worse losses, but they were led by freshman. Comes down to Uconn's health vs STJ talent and sophomore improvement. LoVett and Ponds are the team. And it's interesting to me because these were the types of guard Uconn used to get.
I'd say at MSG we'd beat them 83-68.

Can we move him out of the committed area of the recruiting page.?
-
I am just tired as a fan that of our offseason has more sparks than our in season. I am a Mullin fan as a player, but as a coach, I think it was a terrible hire for the university. This is a big year for the program and do believe it will be a successful year, but I do not think he was the right guy to be put in charge.
-
You guys usually have great information but (a) how do you know what precisely Slice was promised; (b) that his departure has nothing to do with his own conduct; and (c) that this is Mully's fault? I love Slice but he had no track record as a head coach or running a program.

Yes he did although his record at Manhattan was not good. Mullin was the one without a track record of running a program.

While I don't have specific knowledge of anything on this...
Chris got Slice to leave Kentucky to come to St. John's, do you think Slice left the best program in the country with out some assurances of what his role would be.
-
Yes, I'm aware he coached the Jaspers. But that doesn't give him a track record of knowing how to run a successful D-I program.
To PMG's point, he was paid very well to leave Kentucky and come home. Both factors I'm sure played a role in his decision. While I'm also sure he received assurances that he would have substantial input in how the program is run, that is different than being told he is going to get to run the program however he wants without weigh-in from others.
The only story I heard was that he wanted SJU to take the Walker kid on Manhattan and thought he was as good as Ponds. Well that kid ain't in the same universe as Ponds and no one could rationally suggest otherwise.

He might not have the track record as a head coach but he was the lead recruiter for a program that had a multiple year run for producing the top classes in the country. That success at Kentucky was certainly not all his but it's safe to say he had a better track record as a recruiter than anyone at SJU and he was def not given the reins as the lead dog recruiter.
The head coach clearly decided that Matt A was the more important assistant and in my opinion that was a big mistake. Slice is a proven commodity on the recruiting trail and would have delivered players.

We don't know that Slice would have delivered players. While he was here he didn't. Success elsewhere doesn't guarantee success here. Still, it's disappointing that we'll never know.

Slice barely had a full year to recruit - it is unfair to judge him on one year. It should be obvious to anyone, IMO, that one with Slice's track record should have had more time and more deference should have been given to him.
-
On a staff that had no head coaching experience on the college level between Mullin, St. Jean and Richmond and only Matt who was an assistant for 4 years at ISU losing a guy like Slice has hurt a bit. He was someone that had head coaching experience, spent years on different staffs, different d-1 levels, different conferences and different parts of the country. He was also someone who was a New Yorker and widely respected throughout the city. Bottom line he had the background and experience to help lead the staff through these early years and he was shown the door after a year. Not only did his departure make the staff that much more green during a total rebuild but also made SJU the brunt of jokes among other BE and national media and coaching staffs.
-
So a flighty incoming freshman decides to transfer out before he even starts here and we're back discussing Slice? It was clearly a very expensive mistake to sign him to the guaranteed contract we did without having made it crystal clear as to what his duties would be, but he also could have tried harder to make this work rather than just cashing in on his huge contract. Mullin and St. John's made a huge mistake here and we have all paid for it, but it's time to settle with him, pay him off, and move on.
We could use another recruiter, but this staff has put together an improved team for this year even without Sid. Let's settle this, decide if we're adding a coach, continue to recruit to improve, and move on.
-
A few brief things then I really need to stay out of this one
1) Sid is not a bad kid but across the board this was handled poorly and was a long time in the making.from ALL sides. I wish Sid well and hope he becomes a productive player and more importantly person. Without discussing more I would hope not knowing all the facts we can all agree on this.
2) I really like this staff, personally and professionally they put in the hours but irrespective of this situation Changes need to occur.
3) wilson won't affect Brown... what will if except Louisville several of these big schools came away unimpressed this summer in performance and attitude so yes I do think SJU still has a long shot

Not sure who you mean by cashing in on the big contract? Slice or Wilson?
-
The jury is still out on whether it was a mistake, though it may ultimately be as you say. We are only one year into it unfolding. To use an example that I know you are well attuned to, Seton Hall hired two of the biggest scum**** in youth basketball for no reason other than to buy players, and while it looked like an absolute disaster at first it has had the effect of turning around that program and saving Willard's job (until he leaves for a bigger school). I don't think the situation can be fully assessed at this point.

This is what happens when you hire an entire staff that is learning on the job. Have to hope they put it an excellent performance as coaches this season because if they don't then the experiment will have failed.
-

He was the lead recruiter for a single year at (other than UCLA) arguably the greatest college basketball program in history. And the dirtiest. And for the dirtiest coach (arguably) in college basketball history. Not slamming him, but I could recruit at Kentucky. What he did at Pitt was more impressive than what he did at UK.

Plus one. The mistake was not letting BR go, it was (in hindsight) hiring him in the first place. It made a buzz - and I bought in - but they'd have been better hiring a younger hungrier guy who knew his place.

Not sure why this discussion is about Slice (other than Baldi continuing his act as a Maven surrogate). Matt A got the kid here after he reclassed, and while I don't know all the inside baseball, I doubt Matt was responsible for Sid's departure.

He wasn't the lead recruiter at a Kentucky. Kenny Payne was and is the lead recruiter.
I am sure he had expectations of having a larger role at SJ as a stepping stone to another
HC chance.
There are 2 sides to every story. I am sure Slice has his side and Mullin has his side. Wish it had worked out.

Back to Sid does anyone know if he has officially enrolled at another school.
Both Texas and UCONN have enrollment and classes this week as do most schools. You can't enroll for the most part anytime you want, so if you miss initial enrollment at most schools you have to wait for semester end.
That is why you see so many decisions on transfers and enrollment being made this week (Sid, Mitchell Robinson, Taurean Thompson, Brandon Clarke transferring to Gonzaga) because this is literally the last minute you can enroll. I am just wondering if Sid has quietly enrolled at say UCONN.
-
Surprise, surprise lol, UCONN it is
https://twitter.com/coreyevans_10/status/903703526643290113
-
At least he was true to his word and didn't want to be home and wanted to be in the middle of nowhere.
-
So much for the Malik Sealy tribute as well.
-
He should have just gone to UConn in the first place if that's where he wanted to be. His confusion cost us the chance to recruit someone else for that slot.
Word is that UConn will try to get him eligible immediately, but signing a LOI and takin classes has to mean something. There's something that went on here, and it seems that his recruitment didn't stop even after his commitment and enrollment. M
It's a class move by CM to allow him a full release and to go anywhere he chooses, but If there are no repercussions here, some programs will be plucking guys out of our huddle during timeouts.
-
I don't think UConn ever stopped recruiting Sid. He pulled this same stuff throughout high school.

It doesn't matter. A school can still put out conditional releases, regardless of conference affiliation or not. I'm also not one who cares about conditional releases. I also believe if a player signs in a conference, but never plays a game, then he should be able to attend a school within that same conference without being penalized.
In this case with Wilson, then I would've blocked him from attending UConn. I just read Zags' piece of Wilson's commitment to UConn, and let's say I could fertilize a farm after reading that article, if you catch my drift.

Who would you take as your head coach, Ollie or Mullin?
-
Mullin or Ollie to me haven't shown yet they
Can sustain winning, toss up. Winning with jimmy c's recruits
is like lavin winning with norms
-
I don't like conditional releases but this seemed like a time it would've been appropriate
Move on. He's their problem now.
Thought we were taking credit for signing him for a few weeks?
What's your point?
I don't take credit for anything.

There might not be a worse look than gloating message boarder. And as much as we want to hate uconn and their fans I guarantee you there are some of them who are reading this idiots posts and cringing. Just take your win and #$%^ off

Lavin didn't win with Norm's recruits. He greatly improved the team, but they lost in the first round. Ollie won the championship, and he had a lot of injuries last year. Completely unreasonable to compare the two. Ollie is more successful than any coach we've ever had. He has earned the benefit of the doubt. If they stink for another 2 or 3 years, that's a different story, but he had a lot of injuries, and you can't see that coming.
Uconn made the second round last year. Do you realize what the second round would mean for our program? We haven't been there since Lavor Postell was on our team. He's middle-aged now.

Surprise, surprise lol, UCONN it is
https://twitter.com/coreyevans_10/status/903703526643290113
Isn't that convenient. So much for making a detailed assessment of alternatives. We should NEVER schedule U-con again.
We dont want y'all to. Trust me lol
It's pretty sad when you think about it, that this is how you spend your spare time.
I find it entertaining. Its like picking on your chubby little brother haha
Somehow I doubt you stopped at just picking on your chubby little brother on some of those dark, cold New England nights.🤢
Where will your journey take you next? Off to Prarie View A&M's fan forum to talk some trash? Maybe stop by the forums of new conference rivals East Carolina or Tulane?
Probably gloating over their football teams narrow win over FCS level Holy Cross. ::)

I can't make fun of UCONN's football team... at least they have one.

You don't have too, I just did.

Lol like I said before, this is pure entertainment!! And UConn football is terrible. We laugh at them hah

-
http://nypost.com/2017/09/02/st-johns-star-recruit-in-change-of-heart-transfers-to-uconn/
took the high road and I'm glad
Very classy move by Mullin and SJU. They realize the kid's life is more important than making sure UCONN pays for breaking the rules. Obviously I wish it would have worked out differently, but I am proud of the way this situation was handled by the staff.
-

Way to take what I said out of context.

What would be the conditions? Uconn isn't in the BE.
[/quote
So what. We didn't have to let him go. He screwed us limewise. Let him go anywhere but the 2 schools he wanted to go to. Why placate a double dealing kid and the program that violated the rules, Big East or not.

Yes. This wasn't about one team over another. It was about the struggles of confused young kid trying to forget the passing of his mother in the best way he knew how. It also was about one team who chose to let him reneg on his committment and another who played on the emotions of a grieving 17 year old kid while tampering with his committment. We could've made a big stink about this by dragging the kid's name through the mud but chose to let the kid live his life in peace. Who acted with class and who didn't.

True & Sid responsible for his actions as well, for quite a while apparently.
-
How many years since his mom died, 2 or 3? Life teaches us with time to pick yourself up
and move on with your life. If Sid is still wallowing in sorrow someone should take him to
some sort of grief councilng. Either that or have a man to man and tell him it's time to grow up and move on with your life, not run from it.

First of all, what does one has to do with the other? Nothing at all. Ashton-Langford reneged on UConn after the lead recruiter--who recruited him--left UConn.
Lastly, I'm trying to stay out of this, but you should get the FOH as you're not bringing anything to the board as an outsider other than trying to be a nuisance and talking tough.

Actually that's not true, about one in five thousand babies is born without an anus. Fortunately for them it's a quick fix. Anyway stupid, you've spent a week gloating in front of about thirty strangers in an obscure corner of the internet about a team that came in sixth in the American Athletic Conference pilfering a four star recruit from a team that hasn't been relevant since the Reagan administration. That's pretty much the dictionary definition of sad dumb cunt.
