Kansas offering Matt Coleman over the weekend tells me that Self wants another lead guy for this class which probably means Waters is still heavily in play for them.. I didn't think Kansas was serious until now..
Same could be said for Duke since it looks like their grip on Green is slipping to Syracuse..

Duke offered Matt Coleman also fwiw..
Kansas was always going to take 2 from what I understand. They already have 1 and seem to be prioritizing Collin Sexton whose also visiting for Late Night. They're also still in play for Trae Young and Duval but prob not leaders for either. Said IU was the team to beat when his list dropped and think it's the same now most likely. Might be different tomorrow though because.. well... recruiting

Doesn't IU have lots of other irons in the fire as well?

Doesn't IU have lots of other irons in the fire as well? Scruggs and Beatty. Jose Alvarado has an offer but looks like a backup option, and Nick Weatherspoon (Long shot) also listing them. It's different though, from what I've read looking around is IU wants Waters they would have to beat them out for his services. He is a priority for them...

Maybe Tremont should go where he's most wanted, where he's clearly the #1 option and will likely make the greatest impact...as opposed to those doing the point guard shuffle with higher priorites, regardless of what they may be telling/selling him (UConn, IU, Kansas, Duke, etc.) We welcome you, Tremont...you are our FIRST CHOICE...and you'll love your time on the Hilltop, both athletically and academically...

Has Waters given any indication publicly how he feels about Hoyas? Hoping we can land him as he sounds like a young man that can contribute off the hop. Well we're one of his 3 official visits he's set up. He said he'll take those 3 and decide what other 2 he might take. That implies we're in his top 3. Doesn't sound like a "top 3" to me---sounds more like a non-exclusive group of schools I'll consider for now until a better offer comes onto the table. Sorry for the pessimism but if a campus visit is all it took, we'd have a lot more hoyas right now.

It could be argued that Scruggs is a better player than Waters but for IU Waters is the much better fit with their roster.. Looks like Gtown is on the outside looking in right now..

ESPN Insider view on PG dominoes falling:
"With Connecticut getting its man in Ashton-Langford, keep an eye on Indiana with Tremont Waters (No. 32). Waters had been offered by Duke and Kentucky in the spring, but things have quieted down with those schools -- although both could get back involved if things go awry with their other point guard targets. As for the Hoosiers, they had picked up plenty of momentum with Waters, and it seemed as if Indiana and UConn were the two schools most mentioned with him. With the Huskies out of the mix, Tom Crean’s program could be a good spot at this point."

Ha, some random Duke fan tweeted our take on Tremont Waters. Waters news on Hoyatalk now consists of a tweet which links to Hoyatalk. So meta!

This brief article implies it's really just us and Indiana as a final two. Says he's visiting us and the others heavily involved are Indiana and Yale.

Generally, I don't form strongly held opinions on Hoya recruits. For some reason, though, I really hope we get this one.
