Now officially a Mississippi State Bulldog, Renardo Sidney enters the most crucial year of his young life. At 6 foot 10 inches tall, about 270 pounds, with a world of talent Sidney could lock up a spot in the 2010 lottery with one year of hard work, no off the court distractions and a little on the court success. Or he could party it up in college, gain too much weight and expose his immaturity to the point where no NBA team would draft him in the first round. Millions of dollars or fade into obscurity, all in the course of one year.
What makes Renardo so intriguing is the immense skill he has for a man(child) his size. He can pull up from 18 feet or dribble-drive and dish. He can post up, rebound and outlet pass with the best of them but does he win? His attitude has long been questioned and even his body language on the court raises question marks. Sidney is a boom or bust type player. A future dominant big man or a ballooning overweight, lazy, uncommitted afterthought.
By this time next year we should have our answer.
