Overall, the Hoyas' 2-person class of Tremont Waters and Antwan Walker ranks 35th in ESPN's list of top 2017 recruiting classes by program. That's 3rd in the Big East behind Xavier (11) and Butler (20), just ahead of Villanova (36).

next season no new coach will be able to bring in anyone in time anyway. But people act as though he forgot how to coach. I think this team has a heart problem and the 2 guys coming in have shown they have that. Waters and Walker, who have not played a single college minute yet, have shown that they have the heart and desire? Waters has shown that he is a very good player at his age, and is projected to play well at college. But he is only 5'11 (more like 5'9 in reality), and sure there are players like Isiah Thomas, but that is yet to be seen. As of Walker, personally speaking, i think his offensive game is very very limited at the collegiate level, and it will take a while before he makes any contributions, if any. I am talking about how they play. Jagan who had the same fight is showing it here as a freshman. I think alot of our guys just get down if things are not going right and reflects in their play.

Who cares if he's 5 whatever.. How big is Mo Watson? How large is his impact? How mediocre do they look without him?

Tremont Is a STUD .. he's been highly rated since his frosh year and for good reason. His will to win , his heart and his desire to become the best aren't common traits now a days. He will be a major factor from day 1. The best shooter , passer and defender from day 1. Height is overrated , this kid can go and has shown that in all situations. Will he need time to adjust physically? Of course. Will he have ups and downs? Of course. He will up for any challenge and ready from day 1.

Look I grew up in the Muggsy era. It's about heart over height!!! Skill. Point guard play has no height just in the mind. Creighton looked very lost without their floor general.

Congrats to Tremont! Several uncommitted players... maybe our future PG can have his first assist before becoming a Hoya...

If Tremont wanted to play in the McD game, then I'm disappointed for him. Otherwise - bah. He's gonna be good at GU. That's all that matters. He'll make the Jordan Classic Bump...

All the uncommitted guys are pretty much out of our range. Whoever gets Mohammed Bamba is getting a Embiid type player. Dude runs like a deer can hit a jumper, can handle a little and jumps out of the gym. I would love to see him in our offense.

Plus most of them have the Dukes, Kentucky and Kansas types already on them.

We need more for the '17 class to have an impact.

That's not how recruiting works. Tremont has been around these guys before. They aren't going to just now consider Georgetown because a Jordan Brand teammate told them to.

Never generalize with recruiting. Who knows what an individual player will want or do until he declares? How many times have we seen highly ranked players declaring in the late signing period to go and play with another highly ranked recruit because they've become friends during their teenage club careers? One thing we know about recruiting is that anything can happen up to the last minute. For example, we became involved with Tremont and Greg Monroe, and very soon after they picked us.

If there is any position we could recruit quickly, I would think center. We have our history and practice facility to help close. Clearly a long shot at this point.

Monroe we were on for awhile and got a visit when he did his 5 ,same with Tremont. Most of these guys have already done their visits.
