Found an interesting reference to Renardo Sidney

that pretty much kills any hope we had for this year. However, I don't see anything that makes me think it's not just speculation, particularly the part about the housing in LA being the lying issue (pretty sure the lie was in reference to who took him on a visit) and referring to investigators as "prosecutors".
Going to go back and check on that visit part.

I remembered correctly.

Remember...Indian Burial Ground.
ETA: He'll average 25 ppg and 12 rpg during an NITchampsburg title run, vaulting himself into the draft lottery, and you'll never see him again.
Just thinking of what would be the most soul-crushing outcome of this whole scenario, because that's most likely what is going to happen.

but considering he is easily pushing 300 lbs, and hasn't played in at least 6 months, anyone think that he may not have many options?
I know the guy is a talent, but Im just wondering if he has ate his way out of the first round. There isa pretty strong draft crop this year, and I know he could go toa camp and play his way into the first round, but its a pretty unique situation.
