PG Tremont Waters (UConn Offer)

[boog204]

Yup, not sure why the poster bagged on Indiana. They are certainly a more relevant team at this juncture than GTown and historically are one of the all-time greats.

I think people are also forgetting that academics are very important to Waters. In terms of academics, there is a significant gap between Georgetown and Indiana. That likely played an important role in his decision.

Georgetown, no surprise.

PE-TOOWEY!!! I spit on Gtown!

“After many discussions with my parents I will be attending Georgetown University,” said Waters.

“Allen Iverson is a great example of what I can become or better. Also the feeling I had when I went to Georgetown. Everyone pretty much want me there, it’s just a family.”

Might as well dream big.

You just described 90% of the Internet. If it wasn't for people killing time while at work, the Internet wouldn't exist.

I gotta believe some of these kids fake themselves out of a good thing.

He will do well at Georgetown, but at that position, JT3 has been a questionable coach for a long while.

You had Ollie here, you could've snagged that scholarship over a year ago, maybe more.

Don't give me academics either. Better students at G'town, yes, more well regarded degree, yes; but in terms of the quality of classes? No.

This strikes me as someone who had Duke/Kentucky glasses on, only to watch the best slot from him be taken: UConn.

It's nice to be able to come on the Boneyard and get an objective take on the situation.

Good luck to the kid. Minus the Iverson reference, I hope he does well.

Ollie prioritzed MAL over Waters. I wish him luck, always root for Connecticut kids.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Good for him! The kid is incredibly bright and Georgetown seems like a nice fit. I was hoping he would commit to Yale but it is what it is.

 

[BuffaloHusky]

I'm not sure Ollie prioritized MAL first or Tremont prioritized Duke. Regardless, they both did what was in their interests and both UConn and Tremont will both do fine.
