Tremont Waters (again)

[huskiesNhoos]

Kentucky only has one pure PG right now, I'm kinda surprised they haven't taken Waters yet. They've proved they'll take a short PG with talent, so I wonder what that's about.

Ullis was a heavy MSU lean before UK missed out on their top 2 pg targets then swooped in and grabbed ullis after he was the best available, which coincided with him blowing up on the aau circuit. Waters seems to be following that storyline more or less

Does UK have enough scholorships for tremont and possibly bamba?

From what I understand, they only have one more.

So the bamba and duval shoe may have to drop before he makes a move. Lol

From what I saw, though, Duke has 3. Essentially we want Duval to Duke, and Bamba to UK.

Good god!

Does that count Jackson or not, though.

 

[UconnAlum04]

And full of grains of salt.

So recruiting is salty fluid?

 

[Coach J]

From what I saw, though, Duke has 3. Essentially we want Duval to Duke, and Bamba to UK.

Why can't we just grab Duval or Bamba? Why not??? Bamba is what we REALLY need! Come on Chill do your thing!

 

[BaZZnBOAT]

That doesn't count Jackson. So, we would want them to get Tucker AND Duval. But then Cuse could go for Sidney Wilson. Ugh.

If I'm Waters I tell Sid to join him here, for '17 ... That top 6-7 guys can't compete with many in the country?

I mean, if I'm Waters and me at the same time.

We need some Freaky Friday with you and Tremont ASAP.

Re-do my career with a body that works and a few high major offers? Ehhh sure, I guess ...

Good God that's cynical. How about a guy who ran across Zach because his son was a teammate tried to help him and then discovered Brown just needed more help than he imagined? There is zero reason to be speculating that anything about this was ill-motived or nefarious.

Right. It wouldn't have taken long to figure out that Zach was prone to violence and not a good person for his son to be hanging with. Good people start out with goodwill toward others, but have to break off relationships that are dangerous, especially for their children.

If Hami stays in the draft (I think he will), that would open up another spot for UK. They just signed Knox, who I believe is a wing (another reason why Hami leaves), so it is possible they get in very late. I have to think that is why Tremont is waiting for, along with Duval and Duke.

As an aside for Hami - the reports are that his measurements/athleticism has been off the charts during NBA workouts, but he will not participate in 5-5 games during the combine. Smart for him - hiding the big time holes in his game, while showcasing his potential. It sucks we didn't get half a season of him practicing with the team (some sarcasm there), but I don't think UK will get him either for whatever that's worth, other than to say he's a UK product if he does well in the NBA.

With these moving pieces, I wouldn't expect a Tremont decision until late May...not 20 minutes.

 

[Danzz]

No, there's a crew who actually takes some sort of pleasure in it, whether they admit it or not. Even in good years, they show up at the first sign of scuffling. Usually the same names.

Freescooter. You can always count on him.

Can they say he's a UK product if he never played there?

 

[TopDogs]

IDK, can Rutgers say players coached by their staff earned $1.1B when those players never played at Rutgers?

Are you kidding? Cal? He's gonna pimp that jump like no other.

"See, come to to UK. We are THE launching pad for the NBA draft. You don't even have to play while you're here and you get drafted in the 1st rd!"

 

[upstater]

Freescooter. You can always count on him.

If Shaka had had a good season at U Texas, I can't even imagine what those posts would be like.

Yes. Cal that immoral loser. It's not like we'd invite Bynum to UConn events (and, unlike Ham, Bynum never actually enrolled at UConn and attended classes).

Can UConn take credit for Bynum?

Hey, we've had multiple UConn bigs drafted in 1st round, Knight, Okafor, Armstrong, Boone, Thabeet, Drummond, AND Bynum. Also Voskhul, the 33rd pick!

 

[Chief00]

My source still thinks he ends up here, but we are not his number once choice. Never have been. If one of the big schools wants him, he will go there. But so far it appears no one is asking him to come.

I agree - there really is no change.

 

[upstater]

By the way, on Waters, don't hold your breath. Not close to ending. And, despite the idea that UConn is the default, there are more schools involved than people are letting on. UConn is not the default. He has options.

We don't have Cal. So no.
