So you read tea leaves and now you are an insider? got it.
Tremont has a pretty big following in Fairfield County and New Haven area. A lot of people in the youth basketball community know his dad or him fairly well. He's just a parent who wants what's best for his kid, that shouldn't generate any negativity from anyone. Everyone does it.

With that being said, UConn is not the best place for him to succeed. So move on.
 
Just because you believe something it doesn't make it true. Without proof or sources you're just a loud mouth stirring up trouble.

its no my belief its absolutely FACT! you don't have to choose to believe me thats on you idc really. I told everyone a week ago tremont wasnt coming to Uconn because he wont start and now per andrew slater he took us off his list lol
 
You dont have to believe me thats fine but just wait a couple weeks and Ill win all my claims and id like an apology :)
So in a couple weeks it's going to come out that NCST, UW and WKU are all paying players? Wow. You must have some crazy good sources to know that.

Agree 10000% Love his dad btw wants whats best for his son
 
Cry me a river. God forbid you drive an hour + upstate to Hartford, East Hartford or Storrs. While other states that are ten times the size of CT travel hours to a game. Connecticut people are spoiled and have things close to home. When they need to travel the make a fuss of it. I dare you to live in Texas. Tax payers have the opportunity to travel within 90 minutes to catch a legitimate college football/basketball experience.

As a big time UConn fan I challenge you to get a coach bus and load your Fairfield country friends to UConn COUNTRY

People are lumping football and basketball together way too easily, and confusing their arguments by doing so.

1. There is nowhere in the state that should prevent you from going to football games if you want to. That's because the vast majority of the games are played on weekends and our state isn't that big. And yes, we look dumb when we whine about it compared to those who drive to Austin from Dallas or State College from Philly or Pittsburgh.

2. That having been said, you really think that there are a huge amount of fans who drive from Dallas to Austin, or Philly to State College, for a weeknight college basketball game? Of course there aren't. And no, no one who works below Bridgeport is going to regularly go to Hartford (much less Storrs) for weeknight basketball games. I have never gone to a non-holiday weekday game at Storrs. To know that I would be there in time for a 7:00 start, I would have to leave my office in Stamford by 3:30 or so. Not going to happen. Even to know I will make Hartford for a 7:00 tip, I have to leave Stamford by not much after 4:15 or so.

So some of you are right about football, and some of you are right about basketball, and about zero of you can admit you aren't right about everything.

So do you think that Creighton is the right place for him?

I never said he'd come to UConn.... I don't think he is coming here if he was we'd would have known by now.

If I had a son who is an All-American and could play anywhere he wanted, I would want him to step into a starting role. He can be a Tyler Ulis clone, perhaps even better.

So why would I send him to UConn or any other school with multiple starting guards? Not to mention UConn is a dumpster fire right now so I would cross them off the list immediately.

I'd find a school with great shooters and offensive gameplan, both of which we don't have. And they have a hole at PG. If I can average 15ppg and 7 assists I'm gone after one year if it's at a P5 school. A better team helps with that. I don't wanna be passing the ball to Tyler Polley hoping he can improve his 25% 3PT percentage...
 
To be completely honest if my son was an All-American, I wouldn't want him to go to UConn either.
bash this man like u guys bash me! hahah 100% correct why would u want your all american son to sit on the bench of a program thats declining rapidly. Can you guys imagine if Jalen adams didnt hit that prayer?!?!?!

I hope I don't become like this when I'm a dad. What about letting your kid doing what they want? Granted I'm in no position to question as I'm not a dad.

Tremont is 5'10 and a Jordan brand all american I think what his dad was genius. Its not shying away from competition its about going somewhere your needed and loved. TRUST ME Tremont is as good as any PG in his class and EVERYONE knows it.
That's very heart warming. Time will tell.

We'd probably advance to the Sweet 16 because our seed would have been one lower. I wish he missed it to be honest, kind of screwed us to get Kansas R2.

Except Ulis went to the school with the most talent in college basketball at every position, took a supporting role off the bench, earned a starting position in the following year or two and now plays in the NBA. It's pretty much the opposite of what Waters appears to be doing.

As wrong as can be.

Look at the Pomeroy ratings. Tulsa got in with 60.
UConn was in the 20s.
UConn also had a much better resume.

AGAIN: Tulsa got in despite losing the first AAC tourney game.

It amazes me how many people choose to be dense and ignore facts to push their foolish narratives.
 
I think i told everyone on this forum a wee ago Tremont waters is GOING NO WHERE HE DOESNT START FROM DAY ONE!!! Im ready for my apologies fellas lol

Dude, just stop. First of all, typing in all caps doesn't get your point across any more clearly. It just makes you come off as a senior citizen trying out email for the first time. Second, no one disagrees that an All American PG doesn't want to come off the bench, especially one with a father as invested in his son's development as Tremont's is. Third, as others have said, if you don't have a source then all you're posting is conjecture. Even if you're right, which you probably are, saying the kid isn't going to come here isn't some sort of revelation. Literally any poster, in any recruitment, can say "hey guys, so and so isn't coming," because guess what... there's only 2 choices... UConn or somewhere else. Fourth, you're never going to get an apology from an online forum where you come in with absolutely nothing to offer other than negativity that you pass off as insider info that's actually nothing more than just your opinion. And if you want to not come off as a total tool, then provide some actual insight without passing it off as the Gospel. People generally value insight, conversation or differing opinions, even if it contradicts their own, but you're offering absolutely nothing of substance.

I told you already I am the source my guy

6th man minutes. Surrounded himself with talent. He got 24 minutes a game freshman year and showcased his passing ability. Not really a difference to me. We can't promise him 20 minutes a game depending on how well Adams, Vital, the grad transfer, and Gilbert play.

If you're your own source then it's opinion/conjecture... My word you're dense. I don't understand why this is so difficult for you to understand.

Its not an opinion when I have the phone number of the kid/(s) we are talking about now is it?
 
lmao ok man you can be mad but its the truth , NC State pays Kids, Washington pays Kids, Western Kentucky is PAYING KIDS and the list goes on

I'm not saying I have a source, but I do ref on the AAU circuit. The story I heard regarding Heron makes me wonder who doesn't pay.

I should just stay out of this but I've never been one for taking my own advice...

The problem (and point you seems to be missing) is you're just an anonymous dude on an internet message board - just like the rest of us. Any of us could say the same things you're saying and then double down by making a statement like the one I just quoted. I mean, hell any of us could be anyone. For that matter, I could be a source! Yeah, that's right. And I'll say that I have phone numbers. You can't prove that I'm not and I don't. I mean, maybe I'm one of those "reporters" that cover UConn and recruiting. Maybe these kids call ME to tell me what they're going to do... You just don't know that I'm not.

If you've got sources (or are the source, as you claim to be), you'd be better served by being less of a canoe, er I mean less combative... no, canoe might have been spot on. Point being, you're coming off like an argumentative jerk instead of someone who possibly has legit "inside" information.

I'll show myself out now.

It just makes you a homer. Fact is, you care more about Tremont than we do and what you call genius, I call stupidity.
