Class of 2017 SF Sidney Wilson (NY) to UConn

[iommi]

Iommi who is involved with him right now that's serious landing spots for him in 17?

UConn has been recruiting him hard. As of a few months ago, Texas, Miami and Maryland were involved. Not sure if that is still the case.

Please tell me we have been somewhat active in his recruitment?

 

[weedsportwarriors]

It's possible. We are very tight with the Brewster staff.

Sounds like it is time for some writer to reach out to him for an interview. Anyone know anyone?!!

 

[iommi]

This would be crazzzyyy if there really is something brewing...who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks eh? Ha I think we r all getting ahead of ourselves but regardless it's on like donkey Kong for Sid vicious!

I know the video game, Donkey Kong, played it in arcades as a teen...and I know the Pistols, but I still need a translation,

Don't think he's been a priority as far as I know. :noidea:

That was the answer I was afraid of...

Would you prioritize him over Swider or Wright?

 

[jordoo]

The question is who has been asking him about reclassifying?

Tough call..so many good guys for 18 class. I like swider alot. I think sid has unreal upside but you can say that about alot of these kids

Yeah but you take Sid in 17 right away no questions asked. Perhaps he's been told that by the staff.

that's what I'm wondering. he must be getting sold by someone to reclassify. that could be a coach that wants him or a mentor telling him there are high major schools still looking to fill out the '17 class.

 

[littlereg]

He's really good. This would not be a Tucker consolation prize. It might be the jackpot.

Potential is a good distance higher as well. We would take both in a heartbeat too.

ABSOLUTELY!!

A post a few pages back has a tweet about uconn trying to get him to go back to 17. SU too I think.

 

[OngenNOT]

Had an in-home visit with Shaka Smart about a month ago. I'm sure Syracuse isn't the only one in his ear.

[littlereg]

Just an opinion but I'd think it's us in his ear big time and Texas following veins but not nearly as much

 

[phil77]

Tucker to GT and Wilson to SU is something I can get behind.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Another thing about this regardless of what happens is that it really excites me about our coaching staff...they have been busy and active and doing everything possible to assemble the best talent available. They seem to be recharged and not so "sleepy" lol. I like it!

Syracuse: “Hometown favorite school. Me and coach Red [Autry] have a good relationship, I’ve known him since the eighth grade.”

C'mon Red. Reel him in. C'mon Francis. Abracadabra.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

As Tōn Loc would say, "Lets do it".

 

[iommi]

C'mon Red. Reel him in. C'mon Francis. Abracadabra.

Bad news. Sid is one of the players he'd love us to land. That usually doesn't end well for SU, as Francis constantly jokes about. Maybe we can break that curse.

 

[JazzNC]

I like this kid a lot. Unlike Hughes, this would NOT be a settle if we don't land Tucker. I see he is listed as a small forward, but have read that he plays more like a 4? I want him regardless of Tucker, but can anyone add insight into how he will fit into the rotation? Do the coaches think he can play the 3? Who is the better fit?

I have no clue what his track record is, but it's generally accepted at the boneyard that this poster has source(s)
