<div>If Sidney isn't ready and is a problem again, then it's on Stans. Always has been, but there will be no denying it from anyone.</div><div>
</div>I agree with Lucas. The better shape Sidney is in, the better player/teammate Sidney will be. Even when Sidney announced he wasn't going to Europe with the team I wasn't overly concerned. He has time to develop chemistry when practice starts, but he needs to get his *** in shape and his head on as straight as possible or it'll be more of the same. <div>
</div><div>And then there's this from Marcello's blog: (I wonder who the sources could be)</div><div>

Two sources close to the team told me this weekend they wouldn’t be surprised if Sidney never returns to MSU’s campus after leaving Starkville — again

Sidney will go right back to sucking the teet of Stansbury. What an idiot man.. The high chance to make millions if you work hard for 1 single year. Even if Lucas is somewhat successful on Sidney's attitude, Sidney will carry over that attitude for all of about 2 maybe 3 weeks in Starkville until he settles back into his comfort zone of momma Stans and double cheesburgers. This KID has no chance to make a positive influence on our team, and I will be very surprised (and happy) if he proves me wrong.

Sidneywill be lucky to be a 270 by lateNovember

Even if he's great this year this news probably knocks him down a few spots on draft boards than where he would otherwise be. No team is going to think he's going to continue to work hard after he signs a contract.

That's why even with a great year I dont' think anybody would touch him until late first round b/c who wants to give a guaranteed contract to the next Eddie Curry?
