I got "introduced" to Renaedo Sidney watching a TV Feature on the Big Time Tournament in Vegas. At that time, I was paying the most attention to Greg Oden and OJ Mayo. As a was watching, they took a quick moment to focus on who at the time was the best freshman in America...this kid. Next thing i hear, he transfers to Artesia HS from Mississippi. Im showing my age here, but I competed with the O'Bannons so i know the alwsys had an elite program. Fun fact. As a sophomore, he led the team in scoring, and they went on to win a state title. Mind you, his teammate that year was JAMES HARDEN. Afterward, he had two more All-State seasons at Fairfax, another legendary program. I had a chance to see him here in Philly at an Elite HS Basketball camp. He dominated the game rhe entire time i saw him. I hope the man is doing well. I'm sure he is. His skill set SCREAMED NBA early on. He had it all. I just wish they hadn't told him so soon. When you tell a 14-15 year kid he made it, and treat him like it, what do u expect to happen?
I'm an MSU student and basketball fan and it breaks my heart to watch this video and him not even getting close to making that kind of impact at the hump or in college bball period.
He played with James Harden at Artesia High in Lakewood CA..Won a couple State championships too..my cousin was also on that team riding the fuck out the bench as a freshman and sophomore
i blame the media for all the hype they put on him since jr. high. not one of you have ever been though the stress of recruiting. imagine at 14 you got men generations older than you trying to take you away from home while lying to you saying they can get your family out of poverty.
the title of this video isnt even blown out of proportion... he really could have been that good. its a shame. he can still do something light but not how he should have been
YO!....he's definitely da next great big man. I like the form on his jumper, he kinda reminds me of a way thicker Kevin Durant mixed wit Derrick Coleman
I don't mean they're games are exactly similar, derrick is more athletic and can be compared to "karl malone but with a three point shot". Renardo has great physical skills he's very strong and can jump very well despite his weight, and offensive game is very refined. I'm just saying that Renardo has all the skills to dominate but his baggage and his work ethic is holding him back from being "elite". And derrick didn't start dominanting until his junior year in college.
since the whole brandon jennings thing i really cant see player sidney , jermey tyler, and lance stepehson going to college for the fact that there packed with talent and there like a one man team so i really cant see them in a college jersey
His first choice was not to play overseas. It was to get the exposure of playing in the NCAA. But because of the lack of restraint shown by his parents, he is messed over. Just think if they could just wait 1 year to cash in it would not have negatively impacted their son and his future earnings.
I wuz talkin bout da way he shoots from da perimeter reminds me of Durant smartass!!! Of i no his game is not like his, its just the one similarity wit his his jumper dat reminds me of him. Wins da last time u've seen a dude 6'10 pullin up for 3's wit ease like dat.....dont I'll wait.
He hasn't been cleared to play by the NCAA, i go to Mississippi State and he is practicing and hopefully will be eligible soon. It seems like everything that is or has been associated with usc is tainted but at anyrate if he isnt cleared he will go pro and will amount to something theresult23
dont say anythin about anybody's form please. if it goes in, it goes in. Shawn Marion, Kevin Martin, their forms "are not right" but hey its the rim that determines ur shot, not ur form
"Back in the South, this is what we do," Sidney's mother, Patricia, said proudly. "We celebrate big." The Sidney family had left Mississippi for the Los Angeles area to further his basketball career, and the move had paid off. -------------------------------------------------------- You screwed up your sons chances of playing college basketball because you were more concerned about the pay off. Think about your son while he is overseas playing basketball for a year. Short sided thinking.
The collins twins? Have you ever even watched the collins twins play? They're strictly hustle players with height. Renardo is more cut from the mold of a derrick coleman, great skillset both inside and outside, but weight issues and character issues are holding him back just like they held derrick back from having a hof career.
He still has not been cleared to play. Meanwhile all the other 1 and done college freshman are practicing each day. Getting better, private instructions from Div. I coaches while Mr. Sidney watches the games on tv.
I'm not a fan of either squad. Renardo's better. Bigs with size and athleticism come out of HS overrated all the time. A big, athletic, sweet-shooting player like Renardo with handles who can bring other bigs out from under the basket while still swatting cats is rare. He's gonna be the FoY I think, and a real stud and surprise. Great pickup for Miss St. Go Cards though.
Comparing him to other guys just with their HS highlights to go by, he looks like Eddy Curry around the basket. Has ok range and handles. Highlights are highlights, but a guy like amare in HS looks a few levels above him.
Crazy lesson to all the young dudes comin out now
Nick Swaggy P Young yea just don't be a knuckle head!

His shooting form is absolutely gorgeous.
He was a dawg.... even snapped at MSU a few games... damn man
I'm an MSU student and basketball fan and it breaks my heart to watch this video and him not even getting close to making that kind of impact at the hump or in college bball period.
In today’s league dude would have been absolutely perfect big man .
he had a teammate. People didn't pay much attention to that teammate, they were too busy watching big dude. that teammate was kawhi
Isaac Gull yep
Solomon Hill was his teammate, not Kawhi Leonard.
His teammate was Solomon Hill not Kawaii, Kawaii played on his club team for a minute but that was it.
Lmao what
Yup Solomon Hill. Had great career at UA as a defender and role player which helped out in his NBA career.
He's awesome.. Didn't miss a single shot..
Where my stunted growth mans at
Damn this dude is huge and he can step out and hit a jumper makes him even a bigger threat.
Where is he now.......
He plays for the island storm in my home town
Fally.ipupa
playing pick up at the boy n girls club
He played with James Harden at Artesia High in Lakewood CA..Won a couple State championships too..my cousin was also on that team riding the fuck out the bench as a freshman and sophomore

Nice skill set...Beastly. He is like a skilled big baby.
ARIZONA LOVES YOU RENARDO!!!!

shut up dont hate renaldo is a great force and look forward whether u like or not for him to be in the nba i mean he was a junior last year a junior!
I saw him play against my Alma mater Cathedral HS. He’s a nightmare but his team traps a lot that’s why there’s a good team
The Varnado Renardo Show Two headed Bulldog. Welcome to Mississippi State Renardo. GO DAWGS!
at the end of the day Renardo is the best player in the country
i hope all the usc underclassmen return. hackett, derozan, lewis, sidney would be pretty good.
the title of this video isnt even blown out of proportion... he really could have been that good. its a shame. he can still do something light but not how he should have been
This guy gots skillz!
where do you think he'll go??? i still think he's USC bound.
Bro was Joel embiid before Joel Embiid
dude is a savage beast but why isnt he in college or nba?
Where is he now?
wats da beat at the end, like the last 3 seconds??

@Linearvolley
its a Rass Kass song. Dont remember which one though.
No footage from 08 City Section finals :\ shame
@CrazedMavericks23 why didnt he play last year, and why isnt he delcaring for the draft?
YO!....he's definitely da next great big man. I like the form on his jumper, he kinda reminds me of a way thicker Kevin Durant mixed wit Derrick Coleman
Sup man?
Welcome Renardo - GO DAWGS!
where's he now once again ?
what hov track is this? if thats hov at all?
Go to a good school please
this talent needs to be seen Nationally !
Diaper dandy !!!
great agility
I don't mean they're games are exactly similar, derrick is more athletic and can be compared to "karl malone but with a three point shot".

Name of the Song?
yeahh hes nice, reminds me of amare alil
mikeballa215 10 years later.... 💀💀
they were actually 19 when they graduated high school
please come to ASU!
what's the song
i went to artesia with him.. i wonder what school hes going to .. ithink usc if so he should enter after sophmore yr
what college did he go to? he look like he could be a lottery pick
since the whole brandon jennings thing i really cant see player sidney , jermey tyler, and lance stepehson going to college for the fact that there packed with talent and there like a one man team so i really cant see them in a college jersey
hes will be better than al harrington though cuz he is bigger, and his shot will develope even more
very good
looks like he could be the next bynum
His first choice was not to play overseas. It was to get the exposure of playing in the NCAA. But because of the lack of restraint shown by his parents, he is messed over. Just think if they could just wait 1 year to cash in it would not have negatively impacted their son and his future earnings.
Is he eligible for the 2010 NBA Draft?!
Sixers need him
@andrew8730 LMAOOOOOOO!!!! "Eddy Curry" and Dexter Pittman "Diamond in the rough" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
shaq with a jumper
I wuz talkin bout da way he shoots from da perimeter reminds me of Durant smartass!!! Of i no his game is not like his, its just the one similarity wit his his jumper dat reminds me of him. Wins da last time u've seen a dude 6'10 pullin up for 3's wit ease like dat.....dont I'll wait.
"the next big thing"
yeah, the body
Ballin in the hump now son! I'm already smellin Final Four! Hahaha
lol 1:35, he straight nailed dat kid haha.
He hasn't been cleared to play by the NCAA, i go to Mississippi State and he is practicing and hopefully will be eligible soon. It seems like everything that is or has been associated with usc is tainted but at anyrate if he isnt cleared he will go pro and will amount to something theresult23
they said that he the next Antoine Walker or better
Dat is not true. Search his name and news, no article has said that he is cleared by the NCAA clearinghouse to play NCAA basketball anywhere.
Haha who wants to be the next Eddie Curry? Nobody tries to be pippen, they want to be jordan you feel me? Eddie Curry? What a goal.
x is the best player in that class
but is he better than Jermy Tyler
Reminds me of Zach Randolph.
@12Oscart he's in school..getting into college
Next Elton Brand?
well, the beat is from memphis bleek-alright
its a 9th wonder beat, im not sure whos rapping on this one
Renardo Sidney will be next Dwight Howard :)
Why isn't he in the NBA?
NBA will still take him if he's healthy.....
I cant believ his touch at 6 10 280. New Shaq or in worst case new Derrick Coleman.
hes def. not the next shaq he has a guard side of him
dont say anythin about anybody's form please. if it goes in, it goes in. Shawn Marion, Kevin Martin, their forms "are not right" but hey its the rim that determines ur shot, not ur form
wrong. he has range and very good footwork. much more potential than a collins...come on man get it together
"Back in the South, this is what we do," Sidney's mother, Patricia, said proudly. "We celebrate big."
The Sidney family had left Mississippi for the Los Angeles area to further his basketball career, and the move had paid off.

@janitormopmop ya like randolph now, but randolph wsnt like this when he was in high school
The collins twins? Have you ever even watched the collins twins play? They're strictly hustle players with height. Renardo is more cut from the mold of a derrick coleman, great skillset both inside and outside, but weight issues and character issues are holding him back just like they held derrick back from having a hof career.
He will regret that fight for the rest of his life.............. What could have been....
He still has not been cleared to play. Meanwhile all the other 1 and done college freshman are practicing each day. Getting better, private instructions from Div. I coaches while Mr. Sidney watches the games on tv.
"The next big thing"
Lol. What happened to this kid?? Wasn't he supposed to be the next Magic Johnson?
last i heard he was like 38 or something..not sure through
ya what basketballakev said....CIF states that anyone 19 or older is ineligible to play in any sport
reminds me of Bynum
I'm not a fan of either squad. Renardo's better. Bigs with size and athleticism come out of HS overrated all the time. A big, athletic, sweet-shooting player like Renardo with handles who can bring other bigs out from under the basket while still swatting cats is rare. He's gonna be the FoY I think, and a real stud and surprise. Great pickup for Miss St.
Go Cards though.
The boy will be in prison for fighting with a fan. I hope that thug gets a pitiless judge.
Hackett hired an agent. So that's it for him.
he's good but a lil bit slow
zach randolph...
zach randolph
he is nothing like zack randolph looks much more athletic
Him and lance stephenson shoot the same
@janitormopmop I see the Zebo, hes way more athletic than Zach tho
Xavier Henry
Comparing him to other guys just with their HS highlights to go by, he looks like Eddy Curry around the basket. Has ok range and handles. Highlights are highlights, but a guy like amare in HS looks a few levels above him.
wtf...he was actually kinna niceee..lol
