Are you hearing that there is any interest still? Or is it just such a strange recruitment that there isn't anything out there?

Dumb post. I know you are an "insider" but most of the stuff said about this kid and his father are far from reality. This is not an AO type situation and you posting stuff like this doesn't help anything in terms of Waters deciding to come to UCONN. You can do your whole "next" thing if you want, but stop making up BS about something that you clearly know nothing about...end of rant

I'm not sure we want him if he doesn't really want to be here. Didn't we just go through a roster purge of guys who weren't all in with the program?

He will be all in. He's realizing UConn is his best option and I would bet he'll feel pretty good once he's here. As long as he's alright with ~20 mins a game his freshman year. Ollie better make sure he and his dad won't have a problem with that. But after that, he will be our starting PG in my opinion.

If we're lukewarm on the father influence, it's obviously because of recent history.

Thing is, with these types of sports parents, if he is (just going on his rep), it usually doesn't matter the specifics. The situation could seem to be tailor made for the kid to take advantage of, and the parent generally finds things to take issue with. If it's not shots it's minutes then it's who he's playing with ...

Again, not saying that's the case, but if it is, I understand the gun shy feeling.
 
My feelings on Tremont haven't changed. Would love to have him but we have bigger needs: a 2/3 who can shoot and a talented big who can rebound. We may already have both on our roster for next season.
Right now we have 2 1/2 PGs Tremont would make 3 1/2.

i tried to stay away, but just can't

Tremont, we get it... You thought Cal, Coach K, Kansas, or Roy Williams would hand you the keys and let you run the show for the next two years before becoming a lottery pick

And I thought I'd marry Eva Mendez and start the next Facebook

Come to UConn with a massive chip on your shoulder, work hard and earn your place in the banners. Show those programs what they missed on while playing in front of friends and fam

Dummy. If you married Eva Mendez why would you have the time to start the next Facebook?

If anything like this would have any effect on his decision, he's probably not the kind of guy we are looking for.
 
You have to think that at some point he and his father start to get anxious.....

NCAA rules prohibit that so that can't be true. Think about the can of worms that would open if it were allowed.

I looked it up and you are correct. NCAA bylaw 15.02.6 is the rule.

Either way I see slim to no chance on WKU getting Waters. If WKU does get Kansas forward Coleby as a transfer then 1 kid on the team will likely either be paying his own way as a walk-on or we will lose another player to transfer since we are at the scholarship limit already.

And tremont wouldnt have the "problems" Vance had here. Our offense is tailor made for tremonts skill set (see shabazz napier)

I thought Vance was good for us but I hear you. Our offense is tailor made for point guards who can break people down and shoot. Tremont has a lot of Bazz in his game.

We need good players, Waters is a really good player. Not only would he be really good for us this season but he would make it one less stud we have to recruit for the following season.

I know what you're saying but do you really think we're in a position to turn away top talent? Oriakhi was a huge part of us winning a National Championship.
Expand ...
its not the talent we are turning away from, it's the baggage. There is no talent in the world that is worth it if you know the baggage will eventually come back to hurt you.
