Tremont Waters

You said Harkless, Cheick Diallo and Dunn and have now changed it. Those are the players I was replying to.

Even your original reply quotes me as saying Obepka. "Have now" changed it? I changed it 1 second after I wrote it. But, I saw that you quoted my Obepka post. Weird.

Grew up in Vernon. Just bought my first house about halfway between Shady Glen and MHS probably not far from where you grew up.

Grew up in the Skinner Road area. Haven't lived there since I graduated. Parents still live there.

Does anyone else feel like this thread has gone the way of the "Key Tweets" thread? Lots of "non key tweets" going on here. (Yes I know there are no tweets, it's just a comparison.)

Go Manchester!!

Man you are difficult. I was responding to your post saying Harkless, Diallo, and Dunn. I don't know when you changed it or why but this is beyond dumb. Anyways, I'm guessing the Obepka guy you keep talking about is Chris Obekpa?

Hilarious. I was sitting here thinking you are the one being intentionally difficult since all my posts were referencing Obepkakap. Clearly, that is who I was referring to. UConn has lost 2 recruits to St. John's in the past. Clearly. That is the whole point.

I have no opinion on Obepkakap.

I was over in what they called "Forest Hills". Sounds like you are closer to my old elementary school, Buckley.

What else can we do? We're in the middle of a freaking Peter Sellers movie, directed by Mel Brooks and written by Seth Rosenberg. You can't make this stuff up!

Yup just across East Middle.

Do they still make the cheeseburgers with the "wings" -- the cheese grilled to a crisp on the side. Man, it's been decades since I've had one of those.

I'm thinking half century for me (that's possible, right?), but I totally recall what it's like.

That's a lot of guys from Rockville. Make sure you take REM's advice.

I went to Manchester High, but lived about 1/2 mile from the corner of Manchester and Vernon.[/QUOTE

A stone's throw for VIP...nice.

I think the biggest question we have now is Tremont going to take a 5th year of prep at Rockville or Ridgfield HS?

Half year. Then he'll enroll at UK mid-season, redshirt, and emerge one of the top draft NBA picks in 2018.

You mean a 6 year and enter college at 21 years old .

7th year, effectively, as he repeated 8th grade as well as 12th.

I agree with Chief's point that Tremont has jeopardized his brand a little and needs to recover by competing on a big stage like UConn's. But his willingness to repeat grades (or his parents' decisions to do so) make me wonder if they are a little competition-averse, rather like Hami and his handlers. If you try to look extra good in high school by competing against younger guys, might you try to look extra good in college by going down a level to a Western Kentucky or Creighton?

 

[Fishy]

I don't think he has damaged his brand or that he even has a brand to damage.

I also think any inferences about his parents are stupid and make you look like you need a hobby or a dog or a big jigsaw puzzle to better occupy your free time.

The kid will eventually go to college and play basketball. No one will remember any of this when he does.

I think this means tremont has decided and zags is waiting for the announcement to post his article

If so, that would be really interesting considering the recent buzz (if you can call a crystal ball pick that) around him and UConn

Good for clicks, but seriously not a [SERIOUS] thread.
