Duke is apparently all over Quade Green and many consider them the favorites for him. This could be pushing Waters back to the open market in some people's minds.

so he's no longer considered a strong cuse lean? That's good I suppose, even tho MAL started to grow on me.

I just hope Uconn moves on and takes the next best guy and not get left out in the cold waiting for him.

To be clear, I'm not an insider and don't know anything (just ask my wife). The talking heads on Twitter have been gushing about Duke and UK coaches stalking Quade Green at Peach Jam and have mentioned Duke a lot as the forerunner. It doesn't mean they are right.

UK also seems to be prioritizing Trae Young. Might be a case of being squeezed out at his top 2 choices.

It was my opinion all along that Trae Young was going to Duke or UK and now it seems like Quade may go to whichever team doesn't get him.

Trae was originally reported to be a package deal with Porter, but that seems unlikely now that porter is all but a lock for UW (his step dad is an asst coach I believe).
 
is it greedy to think we can land MAL and Waters? Not sure if JA will be around after next season so the opportunity for some big pt could be there.

I think those chances are next to Nil. MAL wants to start right away and AG would still be around. Then if Diallo or Harvey or Beatty also commit thats a crowded back court.

never hurts to have a ball handler off the pine though.
 
Never hurts to have a bunch of real good guards except it also makes for some unhappiness. Obviously no guarantee whatsoever that Jalen is gone after this year so you still have Adams, Gilbert, Vital and one of Beatty/Waters/MAL if there's 2 of them there could be an issue. 3 guard are good on the court but if you have a Gilbert and Waters out there together you get really small really quick. We are all thinking way ahead but while I love guards I also like guards that are happy and getting time deserved.

Not sure how waters and hami get along. There was rumor that hami would not join waters aau team because he was not a fan of his play

Honestly shocked at this apparent development, I had been told we had all but moved on from waters long ago. Sign me up, he'll be a great 4 year guard.

Was just thinking about the 2013-14 group and 2 strong seniors in Bazz and Niels, 2 strong juniors in Boat and DeAndre. That is tough to beat. Niels was so mature as a player, while the other three get the pub.

Want 3-4 year guys all day when we can. Certainly understand a two and done happens in this day and age. But all things equal give me the smaller 4-year guy over the Marcus Smarts, Jamal Murrays etc. Hoping we have Jalen for 3 and Rique for a while!

Interesting. FWIW they follow each other on Twitter -- not sure about other social media stuff tho.

Also... if you just gave us Expressions Elite's top 4 players (Richards, Waters, Samuels, Lawrence), it'd be the best recruiting class since Andre/DeAndre/Boat, and arguably one of the top 5 in school history. That team is stacked.

Wonder if Killings being added has anything to do with the recent uptick in Waters interest.
 
Could any of this be attributed to the Waters family having a positive relationship with Dwayne Killings? Pretty out of the blue. In the past, most of the talk has been that if the Duke thing didn't happen he would want to go to a place like Stanford because academics were very important to him.

I'm probably in the minority here but I would take 1 year of Hami over 4 of waters. He may be the most athletically gifted wing to ever come through storrs. Having rique and seeing how Ollie can get pgs if getting waters cost hami I'd prefer not do it. Hami would just be so fun to watch even it was for just a year.

So you all think Waters really wants to go to Duke but that they are now squeezing him out. But he has a Duke offer, right? Why doesn't he just accept it and commit and lock it in if that's where he really wants to go?

I dont think things actually work that way. He has an offer, correct, but I tend to believe its a 2 way street. Meaning he calls Duke "I'm ready to commit" and Duke either says "Terrific can't wait to get you on campus" or says "As of right now we prefer player X it might be in your best interest to wait things out and see if other opportunities are more to your liking"
