It appears he's reneging on his commitment to USC and will cast his lot with Rick Stansbury.

Hat, any chance that he doesn't qualify?

It's my understanding that he now has a qualifying standardized test score. Therefore, I'd say chances are that he'll have no problem being eligible.

If he was even possibly going to qualify for USC, he is in good shape to qualify for Mississippi State.

This is like Jermaine Dupri snagging Janet Jackson.

USC's AD apparently brought an attorney with him during his "interview" with sidney and his family. looks like the oj mayo situation has made SC a bit gunshy with these type of players.

Which is why Tim Floyd isn't going to put up with working for Mike Garrett much longer.

Sidney is originally from Jackson, Mississippi. He attended a private boarding school south of Jackson, but the MS HS athletic association ruled he was recruited illegally, so no basketball. Off to SoCal after that.

So apparently they signed that 7'2 John Riek guy. I believe we were after him for awhile at some point.

"Bruins and Trojans sources both say they were wary of potentially intense NCAA scrutiny prompted by these issues: Despite what was perceived as a limited income, the family moved multiple times and resided in upscale homes during Sidney's high school years; and stepfather Renardo Sr. directed a club basketball team with financial backing that was unclear beyond a relatively modest shoe company sponsorship. Plus there was this: A source intimately familiar with Sidney's recruitment said a university official thought the stepfather had strongly hinted that he expected to be compensated if his son signed with the school."

There are a ton of red flags around this kid and his family, after the Mayo and Bush mess, USC is gonna stay as far away as they can.
