Renardo Sidney 2.0? What a waste.

[Pollodawg]

He never even saw as much PT as Renardo did. Sad.

[EngineerDawg]

Instead of the fat lady, do we hear nsync "bye bye bye"?

[defiantdog]

Isn't West Georgia a military school?

[Political Hack]

he may work out well over there. he needs to get out of MS.

[whosyourdawgy]

that may be exactly what Quay needs. Away from friends and family and somebody barking his ass into shape. Hopefully the light bulb will click on one day.

Isn't West Georgia a military school?

No

[BeardoMSU]

As fat as the fat man was, at least he contributed something. Quad didn't do a damn thing.

[Crystal Balls]

Is this something Dan and staff helped him with?

Sidney was good vs Vandy and Ole Miss. Let's not get carried away though. He is/was a gigantic waste of talent. Dontae Walker was atleast very good his freshman year. Sidney stands or sits alone on the mountain of fail. Probably break that mountain soon to with his fat ass. Or eat it.

I always wondered why we signed Quay. Yeah, yeah, 5 star blah, blah, blah. I saw him play 3x his senior year and it wasn't hard to see he was a head case. Coaches and football staff at Morton told me the same.
I guess Dan just saw the natural talent and took a chance that his head could be straightened out.

I think Quay is much different that Brassell, who developed his talent but simply blew it in the classroom. The EMCC coaches told me Brassell never missed class and was making great grades. I guess the 0.00 from the Confederate nation just couldn't be overcome. If so, Freeze had to know it and it proves, what a lot of us think, that Freeze knew Brassell wouldn't qualify and Freeze just used him to boost rankings and pull in Tony Conner. I think that if Brassell had signed with us he would be a year away from being a high NFL draft pick. Brassell was very good at EMCC and fearless to boot.

I remember watching Sidney in that game in Jacktown. He literally ran the floor on one possession and then walked back down the court on the next offensive possession gasping to be taken out.

Oliver Miller was huge when he was at Arkansas, but at least he was a player. Fatnardo's conditioning seemed to get worse the longer he was at MSU.

[BeardoMSU]

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly; Sid was the biggest waste I've ever seen wear the Maroon and White. He had a soft jump shot, good post moves, and really good vision passing the ball....he just couldn't stop eating to save his life. And he was a headcase...to say the least. Those games vs. Vandy and OM were pretty good though, and that's what I meant: at least with him, we saw pretty big glimpses of his greatness. With Quay, we saw, what, 1 sack? 1 or 2 QB hurries? In the few moments he actually stepped on the field. I was honestly never sold on Quay out of high school. He was never gonna be a Fletcher Cox or Chris Jones.

[Todd4State]

In Quay's defense, it's hard to show glimpses when they don't play you.

[BeardoMSU]

True.

[Dawg61]

I see what you're saying. Sidney was loaded with talent. Natural born talent. He'd easily be the best shooter on our team right now. He had tremendous touch for a really big man and he was an even better passer. That's what was so so frustrating about him. If he gave any effort at all or had any toughness whatsoever he'd be a lock as a lottery pick. The guy just didn't want it. Imagine if you put Phil Turner's toughness and motor inside Sidney you'd have a more athletic better shooting Zach Randolph. Woulda coulda shoulda. What a ****ing waste.

Which they were right in doing

If the light had ever come on (no chance it ever would have under those circumstances) and he'd have figured out how to make that spin move on the low block without getting called for traveling, he'd have been the most dominant big man in the college game since Shaq. The first time I saw that spin move (even though he got whistled), I thought we had something incredible. Too bad it wasn't to be.

[BeardoMSU]

Great example using Phil. That dude would body up power forwards and hold his own. I loved that guy.

[Todd4State]

Which they were right in doing

I'm not saying they were wrong. But there's no doubt that Sidney got more playing time and therefore more of a chance to show what he could do.

[BeardoMSU]

I honestly think that Sidney was "trying" that first year. Despite all the fighting and suspensions, he still played ball when he was on the court. The majority of his issues on the court stemmed from his conditioning (coaching staff, wtf?) that year. His last year, on the other hand, aside from a couple games, he didn't give a ****. Once Arnett started getting the majority of touches in the paint, Sid was done with playin' team ball. I mean what a concept: a guy busting his ass in the off season, getting better at free throw shooting, and hustling back to play defense every play......And...that's why Arnett is in the NBA, and Sidney is in NAMBLA.
