It was pre-destined.
Sidney is one kid that I don't think anyone is going to get through to. I think he's at a point that he wants one contract, cash in a little, and then fade away. That attitude will likely assure he falls short of even that goal.

I'm sure you are right. A camp invite could be beneficial though.
Yep .. you never know. By the way, he was highest on UK when he was around 14/15 years old and made a few unofficial visits and played some pick-up. He was unbelievable. He played like a 6'9 PG. Could do it all. He was downright astonishingly good. Then he blew up ... the wrong way.
Sadly, his parents felt going to Cali would be best for his 'stardom' and it all went downhill from there .. chasing marketability over sticking to the game.
As far as Sidney, I wouldn't draft him, but if he went undrafted I would give him a camp invite. I'd put him on the shortest leash possible concerning his attitude and conditioning. If he didn't show consistent improvement and effort, he would get cut.

I could agree more. Big reward small risk.
I often have the same opinion of Cy's posts.
I believe it's an on going joke aimed at my annoyance of the common use of "Could care less" in the place of "Couldn't care less".

Any new news pkm?
Not that anyone wants to hear. My call yesterday was to tell me that Portland has made a big splash with HOU and are expected to derail out talks a bit. I know no details other than that.
Ahhh.. thanks for clearing that up.
