Sid Wilson, SF, St. Raymond's HS Bronx, NY

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.

I'd bet my life savings we don't get him.

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.

Wake me up when we win one of these

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.

Maybe, Duke doesn't extend a scholarship, but I'm hearing it's a possibility.  If they do, Tucker will lend 'em an ear.

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.

UCONN & Texas main competition I hear.

Two teams that were worst than us last year if that anyone wants to find a silver lining.
