Size Not A Problem For Diminutive Lead Guard Tremont Waters
Expand ...
Along with Duke and Kentucky, Indiana, Kansas, Georgetown and Providence are a few of the other schools targeting the rising point guard. Waters said the most recent school to jump back into the mix has been UConn and Coach Kevin Ollie.

"They came back in about two weeks ago," Waters stated. "I don't know why they left, but they left and now they are back in the picture."

Interesting. I wonder why. As someone mentioned above I hope it's not related to any less interest from MAL.

Why do you copy and paste half the article? I post the link only for a reason.

Email any reporter or blogger and they will tell you that what you did kills their hits. They live and die by number of hits

The article is 855 words and I cut and pasted 68 words. So that's less than 8% of the article, not even close to "half". I cut and pasted the relevant part that I think people on the Yard would want to see because most people on here aren't going to want to read an article on Waters that is 855 words long. I know you get information from Zags but I'm more interested in helping out Yarders and giving them easily accessible information than I am the hits on Zagsblog. If someone is really into recruiting then they'll read the entire article as you've provided the link. Don't see why you have an issue with that.

"Tyler Ulis is a small guard, Yogi Ferrell is a small guard, so I pretty much immolate my game after them," said Waters. "I try and improve on what they did and get better. If they were able to play there (Indiana and Kentucky), that means I can."

Definition of IMMOLATE

I'm sure Waters said "emulate" but Zagoria being Zagoria he wrote "immolate" in the article.

it makes it even worse that zags printed that when it's clear what waters meant.

Spell check maybe automatically did that if he misspelled emulate? Or maybe Zagoria was using some kind of speech recognition software and dictated the article? Or maybe he just doesn't know the difference between immolate and emulate.

hah, i hope it's not the last one. i read that and i had to confirm there wasn't some tertiary definition of immolate that i didn't know. Cause the primary definition sure doesn't fit with the context.

I do get info from zags and you proved my point. The % means nothing it is the hits.

I have no control on what you do. Just wanted to make the point

% does mean something significant. The 10% copyright rule applies. You can quote 10% as long as you provide some commentary on it. This is part of the law that encourages critique and citation.

Yes you, too much whining and complaing about someone copying + pasting less than 10% of an article. For someone who is always protesting about folks throwing a recruitng thread off track I think you would be better served finding a more worthy cause to carry the next man's water.
 
Confusing immolate with emulate would get you fired from any normal publication. No wonder this idiot is blogging for a hack like Zags.

You are free to think what you want. Please copy all the articles you want. I was simply expressing my point

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.

I never, ever worry about too much talent. Recruit the best guys you can get, and let every thing take care of itself on the court. Let the kids compete, and if guys don't like it enough, they can look for a new situation.
