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

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

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 ?

This kid Exiled Redman @brandersen631 is the worst on Twitter.

Awful, makes the fans look bad.

His play reminds me of Malik Sealy

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.”

Dink,

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
