For Sidney Wilson, the path of his recruitment to St. John’s had some twists and turns.
At the start of things, a collegiate career in Queens did not seem to be the path that Wilson was keen on taking.
A native of The Bronx, the slim, 6-foot-7 scorer had interest in Syracuse and Maryland. He then narrowed down his options to UConn, Texas, and St. John’s. The Red Storm in the end reaped the benefits of keeping another talented player from New York City within the city limits.
