Tremont Waters

[Walker11]

I kinda want to see this.

Could be a good test for my Vitamix

 

[Danzz]

Just watched some video. Waters looks to be about 3" short of 5'11" but quick as hell.

@Fishy should have fun with this one.

Ask anyone with deep roots in the AAU circuit. On a lighter note, ask yourself why did Prince Ali really decommit. If you don't think this happens, you truly are wet between the ears.

 

[djct1999]

I do believe it happens. I have heard second hand stories myself. I won't pretend to know the Ali situation. I simply disagree with your assertion that Waters is using UConn as leverage. This idea that Tremont has basically no options besides UConn is preposterous. He doesn't need to list us for leverage, he could call almost any team and express interest and they would try to find a spot for him. It seems pretty clear to my feeble mind that Tremont is listing us because we are a backup option for him and he is hoping to get a legit offer from a more premiere program.

I won't argue over semantics. It seems we are on the same side of the spectrum. Since you already have skin in the game( eating a hat) will you agree that if he goes to WKU, it wasn't because he wanted to be a hilltopper or whatever their name is?
For what it's worth, I do think he finally ends up at Duke. But I actually will be more surprised if he ends up at UConn than WKU.

Notre Dame’s Tremont Waters represents himself well at Jordan Classic, says more than five schools in the mix to land him

What do you mean exactly? It seems to me like he wants Syracuse but they haven't shown interest in him. But that wouldn't satisfy his 4 year coaching desire.

 

[uconnbill]

You have a weird obsession with this guy.

Sounds like danger stranger to me

 

[Storrs South]

In case anybody was wondering, Western Kentucky averages 3,671 fans a game and last season they had 1 game on the SEC Network, 3 games on ESPN3, 2 games on the American Sports Network, 2 games on CBS Sports Network, and everything else on Campus Insiders or Fox College Sports. That would be a grand total of 0 games on ESPN, ESPN2, CBS, FOX, FS1, & ESPNU combined.

Conference USA is a low major now. Might as well go to Sacred Heart.

 

[djct1999]

Lol I coach a high profile AAU team. This is quite extreme.

Hmmmm??

 

[BUConn10]

his use of "still" is not reassuring whatsoever.

 

[Fishy]

I understand. It won't happen again.

Good man - thank you.

I've already prepared my narratives for either outcome.

If he commits to Duke or Kansas or even Western Kentucky he's a pampered, self-obsessed millennial who milks every ounce of attention he can get.

If he commits to UConn he's a kid who relishes the spotlight, somebody who is a confident mother duck____, the type of guy who wants you to see him before he kills you. He doesn't brake for convention and he lives to be rejected just because he needs something to do. He never wanted to go to Duke or Kentucky or Kansas, he was waiting for them to pass on him so he'd feel less guilty about shoving the knife down their throat later.

Or......if he chooses someone else....KO can't recruit. UConn is a sinking ship. KO should be fired.

If he chooses UConn.......he should be able to get a recruit in his own state. Vital is going to transfer.

??? I can say I've never ever read a quote like that before.

 

[JonnyRI]

I just heard from Water's dad. Waters won't come to UConn unless this thread gets to 75 pages and is filled with irrelevant posts. We're halfway there..

We can do it!!!!!!

That was my reaction as well. I hope we get the young man, and I don't want to overjudge someone by one statement, but that's a pretty naive view of the world.

Lol?

I keep assuming this is a kid who would be in high demand. Is seriously nobody recruiting him?
Insiders are legitimately saying Syracuse has no interest. "Several sources told syracuse.com that the SU coaching staff has not pursued the former Georgetown commit."

But it seems like Waters is putting them into something like a top 5, even though they're not after him. You'd think you'd put schools in your top 5 who want you. Does nobody want him?

Syracuse seems like is waiting for the Ayala domino to fall. Duke is waiting for Duval. But are these schools going to want Tremont if they miss? I've been under the assumption they would be, but to not even have reached out...

That's what I thought as well. If he's everyone's plan B, they'd at least call him.

I Don't even care about a pastrami rueben (wait, I'd probably love a good one, but just don't think of it after marked widespread drop in pastrami quality in recent years notwithstanding some good here and there, such that anything more than mustard on the side is an upgrade and not a sacrilege most places), and I'm out of this thread until the decision is made.

If Tremont Waters wants to come to UConn, then I really want to watch him and would imagine good things. Yes, Tremont, please join the Huskies.

If he doesn't want to come, then the Malik Newman analogy fits best, whether it works out that way or not. Nothing more to see.

And @djct1999 you never answered my question as to whether you'd like to see him in a UConn uniform or not. Sticking with, "It ain't gonna happen," is beating a dead horse. We get it.
