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.

How so ?  Not being actively engaged with kid before and/or after signing ?

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.

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

Sid was always aloof. Not sure how far back this thread goes. Not totally shocked here.

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

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.

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?
