Tremont Waters (again)

[ZenConn]

Smh. We got friggin Wheel Of Fortune on this thread now. I'm really hoping to buy a vowel so I can bludgeon someone with it.

 

[Chief00]

Just got in - that eighth letter is almost in place. Some UConn haters are already saying they were looking for cash - but if that's really the case - why sign with Georgetown in the first place?

I literally lol'd this. The imagery in my head was fantastic.

I could only wish UConn would pay for recruits....... It would be a lot less stressful on our lives!

You really need to eat more meat.

Trust me, I spent my entire life pre-30's overweight, I've eaten enough meat for two lifetimes already.

But is it really worth it if you're eating your quinoa alone?

+1 This offseason has been both hilarious and depressing.

Thanks chief ! This player is a foundational championship type kid. Forget the one and dones. Give me a high quality 5-10 pg who can dictate game flow. That's how uconn won chips

You want 5'10? We better keep looking!

So we're in good shape now? Im so confused...

Following recruiting is usually a clusterf#$k. I usually skip it, but given the turmoil this offseason, I've been tuning in. I seem to get a headache and stress reaction every time I login here. Crazy

We almost have the eighth letter - we're 87.5% of the way to good news. Or 12.5% of the way to terrible news.

I think.

It would be a miraculous turnaround if we landed Waters and then managed to get at least one of: Agau, Wilson, or Whaley. Throw in the Utah kid and we would actually somehow manage to be significantly better off than we would've been with no defections.

Crazy times. At least there seems to be a realistic chance for light at the end of the tunnel, which didnt seem possible a few weeks ago.

Time to reel this one in Chill........

I recognize that, it's the pond on the Par 3 #11 at Edgewood GC in Southwick MA.. Its just a large carp that's been cleaning that pond for years, I'm sure the guys fine.

My source says Waters is beyond a long-shot at this point.

However, we are all but certain to sign anohter Top 50 player: Nike Classic

It was only a matter of time..

It was only a matter of time..

Beyond the point when it should have happened, in my humble opinion.

 

[UC1985]

I don't want to be a Debbie Downer or whatever, and if we get Waters and the G'Town transfer I'll totally be okay but.. Do we need Waters? I mean this board LOVES Vital, which I personally think is insane. IMO he's the 4th guard right now. Add Waters and he's the 5th. That's a LOT of guards to begin, I understand we play 3 guards, but these are very undersized guards. I guess my point is that why would Waters come here with this guard depth chart? (Even if he's better than Vital)

I don't even know which word he's spelling.

We have nine players, so yes we need him.
We have no recruits rated inside the top 100, so yes we need him.
We haven't gotten the top Connecticut recruit since Olander, so yes we need him.
We have four guards, one of whom has suffered catastrophic injury two of the last four times he's played competitive basketball, so yes we need him.

Also, five guards is not "a lot." It's standard to carry that many, though we'll be at least a touch unusual with four who are probably primarily PGs, and none who are swingmen.

Who cares, though? He's a top 40 recruit, and we have open scholarships. We have never, in the history of the program, been a position to turn down a kid like that.

And, he is a top-notch outside shooter, which is the 2nd biggest need for this team. And he is further building for the future, as he is unlikely to leave early

I've been coming to this place hourly for the past 3 months looking for some good news, any good news and instead get a game of Hangman....
