You know you're getting old when the parents of the recruits appear to be younger than me. Was thinking the same thing

Jagan isn't really a PG. And Wright was the superior prospect. But Tremont is the face this program needs.

Really excited about Waters. I've been watching videos of him and one thing that really surprised me is his raw athleticism. If they let him into the Hoya Madness dunk contest next year he's going to amaze some people. Height is nothing but a number

As Etomic writes above, I think the staff should learn from this experience. There are kids who take academics very seriously and can still play basketball. Those kids should be our priority when recruiting. Georgetown has the most to offer those players. I agree with this. Obviously, we cannot solely recruit guys who take academics seriously or we would be at a huge disadvantage BUT when those players are out there, I definitely think we need to be on them. To some extent, Duke in the past recruited players like that (before they transitioned to a more one-and-done strategy in recent years). They still get some of those players, but we need to get our share too.

SFHoya99 great to see you back on the board! Thanks! I'll hopefully have more time once the season starts. This year could be really interested, but getting Waters is also exciting because this year is kind of isolated if it goes well because of Pryor. So, to the gurus, I know they are highlights, but, ummm, am I wrong here in thinking that Tremont's only weakness really is size? Dude seems to have a great handle, court vision, shot, good athleticism and enough quickness to get work done.

This is well past due, but WELCOME TO THE HILLTOP TREMONT!!! As you can see we're very excited to have you! I truly believe between this commitment, the Thompson Center, our new assistants, and just our outlook for this year's team (I expect us to be very good) that this is the beginning of a new era of Georgetown basketball. And I can't wait to watch it unfold and see us return to our rightful place in the college basketball landscape. Hoya Saxa!

Dude seems to have a great handle, court vision, shot, good athleticism and enough quickness to get work done. With all his tools, size is not a weakness. As GU fans, we have seen ample evidence of players of his size take it to us. As for the NBA, that's another story and we'll have to see how good he will be in college first.

The Duval battle from this past summer told me all I needed to know about Tremont. The kid is bigtime and doesn't back down from anyone. I don't know how we got this kid but man am I happy today. 2mths ago we lost a local pg that went to our coaches alma mater. Yesterday we got a commit from possibly the best '17 pg. Winning is great......
Welcome to the Hilltop, Tremont!!!!

Someone mentioned he was only a few courses short of graduating. Would he come early? If he enrolled in January could he train with the team but not play??

Yes, his Dad did say that in the presser, but Tremont alsi said he had returned to NDHS to "win a state title." My guess is he wants to be a HS baller this winter and that the staff, having been there and dine that, is not too keen on the idea/pushing it. An interesting prospect though...

I hope that he finishes out high school, which is a natural thing for someone his age.

Looks and plays like Shabazz Napier. A little smaller, but perhaps more polished entering college.

Interesting thought, but I don't believe we have any scholarships open for even half a year. Let him enjoy his last season of HS and get the work done on the court to be ready for next year.

I read elsewhere from CT HS basketball fans that he is the best PG prospect out of CT since Dunn. I'll take that any day!
Can't wait to see this kid on campus, hopefully he makes it to some of the games in-season.

I love Wright and Jagan, but Tremont is a pure point guard. Neither Wright nor Jagan were (at least in HS). Of course, AI wasn't a pure point either but he was so freaking amazing, who cares? Just like there are no true Scotsmen, there are no pure point guards.

Out of curiosity, who was the lead assistant on Waters? Given the two visits, I am guessing it was a team effort ultimately, but curious.
