Love it when a recruit mentions a guy who just verballed . Shows he's interested and is watching.

From Andrew Slater;
St. John's coach @mabde33 is watching the St. Raymond's 2017 top 100 duo of @Iam_SidWilson & @Jellyfam_Dimes #SlamDunkDE

Matt on the case!

Guy is really earning his paycheck

Matt is all over place but where is Slice

I thought he was the number one recruiter but it seems like matt is the one all over the place

Cant name every situation but I have seen a lot of tweets with Slice going to practices in NY/NJ in the last couple months, hes out there.

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.

I'd be somewhat surprised if the staff didn't land Wilson if they want him.

Sense they prefer Tucker, but nice not to put all the eggs in one basket.

Is it one or the other?

Perhaps not. Rafus is another 17 forward in the mix also.

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. 

This is going back to the summer, but I was told Wilson was a priority

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."
