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

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

Thanks Paultz, you're the man.

SID THE KID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Paultz, you're the man.

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.”

We are telling kids up front they can be gone in 3 years?
LOL

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.

Ok shortest sabbatical of all-time. Just spoke with pops ... he's in.

Nice!

You don't think everyone else is telling kids that too?

Man don't do this to me. if you put it out there like that, it's got to be 100 %

His play reminds me of Malik Sealy

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.

If we land Wilson does that hinder our chances at Luther at all?

Would doubt it. Might help as I'm sure they know each other

No

Why would it?

Nice get if true. Kid may be able to give us some minutes next year. Good body control and finisher.

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.

Add to that I read a tweet that said he may not announce tomorrow, crazy.
