Tremont Waters

That's fair. I just don't think we're comparable to GTown (fired HC and a search moving at a snail's pace) in that regard.

Agree and as a recruit you can only speculate. You want what's best for you.

If there's a dark ugly cloud in the distance you can expect it to rain. 99% of us would head to shelter or turn away.

Syracuse took a commitment from a point guard last week - Howard Washington.

He's from outside of Buffalo so he's used to cold and despair.

Eaaasy... He's actually from Buffalo. Good player, but might not have gotten that offer without the sanctions on scholarships.

I've seen Waters play a few times. He has serious talent. If he was a couple of inches taller, I think he'd be a top 10 recruit nationally.

When I first watched tape on Waters and MAL, I preferred Waters because he seems to have uncanny court vision and passing ability, a true PG. And the general consensus is that he can shoot. But I became convinced by people here and by Ollie's prioritization of MAL that MAL's size and athleticism made him the obvious choice for us. Still feel that MAL was clearly the best choice for us, but getting Waters would really put a band-aid on this!

If we somehow come out of this with Chillious, a big and Waters while losing Enoch, Jackson, and MAL, I won't really mind.

You don't have 5 players/staff leave or get fired within 7 days and NOT have an issue.

I count 4. Someone else?

Travis, Glen, Steve, vance, and I'm guessing MAL

I forgot about Travis

Doesn't sound like that's remotely happening, but I could totally be on board with Diarra, Banks and Chili. That's at least more in the realm of possibility.

yeah it was definitely a big "if"

MAL is a strange looking dude. Reminds me of a plucked bird.

 

[David 76]

I highly doubt Waters will come here after we looked at about 1,000 different options first.

So did he.

 

[aceboon]

So did he.

Pretty much, KO prioritized the recruit who seemed like he was actually interested in coming here(before all the chaos), which is what posters like CTB criticize him for not doing with other recruits.

Not criticism at all. We prioritize some and others fall by the wayside. It will be difficult to jump back into the recruitment of those we put off.

Report: Syracuse expected to pursue former Georgetown signee Tremont Waters

Cuse is after eric ayala not waters

Cuse is after eric ayala not waters

They need a lot of help at guard I'm sure they're after both

 

[djct1999]

Cuse feels that an Ayala reclassification and a commitment is a lock for them.

Figured this. Unsure of our shot with PSA players since Miller was our POC with them. We were late in the Ayala sweepstakes anyways.

They weren't late at all, Cuse came in the picture way later, but yea Miller being ousted might affects things.

Apparently sanctions aren't affecting the cuse.

Some of our best players were odd looking dudes. Donyell Marshall? Rip Hamilton? Khalid El-Amin?

Did he look like a plucked bird a week ago?

 

[FASTEDDY]

Did he look like a plucked bird a week ago?

Yes, He sure Did!

He just looks like an even weirder looking guy now. PC can have him. Kid will be a flameout.

 

[UCweCONN]

Did he look like a plucked bird a week ago?

Yes, apparently since birth. To be 100% honest, I never looked up the kid or checked any video until he decommited so I just realized it when I posted my comment. To the other posters, where's the correlation between me saying he looks like a plucked bird and me saying he isn't a good player? I admit I prefer Waters but that doesn't mean MAL is bad.
