WKU making a "hard push" for Tremont Waters

We need talent. He is talented.

We haven't beaten anyone but New Mexico for a recruit in ages and most of the better kids send KO straight to voice mail.

If Waters wants to come here, we say yes even if his dad is Ghengis Khan.

You are so far off on this one. He is much closer to the truth. You have made a raft of faulty assumptions.

We will see how off I am. And if I recall, you have reminded us all countless times that Tremont has options. So what gives? Either I am not that far off or you are contradicting yourself.

How am I contradicting myself?

And, I wrote that 3 times over several weeks after not saying anything since the decommitment.

Idk i've never seen a recruitment like this. I know the kid and he's a good kid so im not talking about his character. But his process has indeed been a circus

What process are you speaking of?

I have seen nothing printed anywhere about his process. There is a lot of speculation but absolutely nothing from him.
 
We have more to offer than the other schools offering him even considering us being in the AAC and last season. There are a ton of minutes this year and the keys next year. We play in the PK90 this year, Cuse at the garden, Nova TBD, @ Zona, plus games on espn and CBS. UConn is still strong nationally but dipped after last season. Get him here and we go from there

A lot of the information thats been leaked has been strategically leaked by the waters "camp". These rumors from credible sources arent coming from nowhere.

after we wade through all the BS out there and on here - basically, what are his choices?
UConn and Gtown?
cmon Dad make up our minds
don't let KO go to voicemail or whatever BS kick Fish is now on

OK, first I've heard someone saying that WKU is the school they chose to stir things up. If anything, it is the reverse.

Not necessarily talking about the wku rumors but more so the recent kansas rumors and the earlier UConn, and creighton rumors

Last night I posted this in another thread:

"Gotta be honest.

Reading new "2017 Recruting: XXXXXXX" threads daily about complete unknown players is damaging my liver."

The corollary to that is:

Reading new " Tremont Waters XXXXX Recruiting XXX DecisionXXXC_nfir__edXXX damages my liver too".

We could use some Ghengis Khan around the program these days.

Guy was ruthless. And he knew how to win. Something the staff could learn a thing or two about...

Being a star athlete on the campus of an SEC school is the best education a young man can get, I'd imagine.

Clay Travis on Fox Sports Radio had a segment a few months ago how being an SEC QB is the best life anyone can imagine, save 13 days a year.

3 crystal balls now for LSU

They have 2 point guards on their roster next year:

Patterson who will be a rising senior and from his stats looks pretty bad.
Mays who will be a rising sophomore looks pretty good.

Not sure if Waters would be a Day 1 take the keys player in that scenario given a bad senior and decent sophomore in the fold but who knows.

I also forgot Will Wade is the coach now so the culture there is probably changing drastically from when Simmons was there.

Oh and I forgot the last part, at least according to Verbal Commits they have no scholarships left.

Two homegrown top-30 players in the state over the past two years and they end up in Alabama and Louisiana? Great.

It would be a pretty impressive get for Will Wade, though - LSU hasn't had a guy who could actually coach for a while.

I don't think an SEC school would have a problem suggesting out of the blue that one of their lesser players "explore their options."

I give you recruiting guys a lot of credit, I would have blown my brains out by now.

I'm with you, CT. I purposely never pay any attention to recruiting threads, or recruiting in general, for that matter. What's the use in getting psyched about players when most of them are ultimately going someplace else? What I'm doing here on p. 3 of this thread is inexplicable. I guess it's a reflection of how desperate we've become for some good news.
 
Best CT player to go to LSU since Li'l John Williamson?
 

Yep - I think Maurice Williamson was on the LSU team UConn beat in '91. He didn't do much there - there were academic issues or something. He's coaching basketball in New Haven, I think.

His uncle did play at URI.

John "Hot Plate" Williams also went to LSU, so perhaps that's the confusion.
