I guess it depends on what his actual alternatives are now--doubt anyone really knows

Wow... Waters looks shorter than advertised in that photo. this is from like 6 years ago i hope you realize. he was 12. a 12yr old playing on a u18 team. I realize, yes. Just thought it was funny considering all of the talk about Tremont being vertically challenged in this thread and the fact that Kemba isn't exactly a giant.

Yes, go to Duke, until Coach K recruits over him like he did with Derryck Thornton and Chase Jeter. And playing zone defense at SU is great prep for the NBA? Please.

My gut feeling is he's already decided he's not coming here and it'd be quite the coup if Ewing convinced him to come I think you are just hungry.

We are going to get some good bigs to feed and rebound. Tremont needs to run our new run-and-gun offense.

Obviously, I hope he changes his mind and decides to attend Georgetown but, for right now, I hope that the University grants his release ASAP. I'm not sure that I would but, I tend to think, I may feel differently if we hadn't just had the upheaval that we did with the staff.

I'm just hoping that Georgetown isn't going to hem him up given the coaching change.

it'a interesting - i had always thought coaching changes generated an automatic release, but it's just the opposite. the NLI is explicit about committing to a school, not a coach. GU is still GU, some woild say too much so, despite the coaching change.

That quote is from March 13. JT3 was fired in the 23rd. We might have a shot.

I guess it all depends on what the main reasons were for his initial commitment to Georgetown. If it was the academics, the storied history of the program and a chance to come in and play right away, and the major reason for asking out of his commitment was all the uncertainty around the program and coaching staff then I would think we still have a chance. If he committed because of JT3 and his staff and how they made him feel, then we might not have any chance now that they are gone. We should know in the next week or so.

If he is looking for a pro offense we now check the box when we didn't before.

I have no doubt that Patrick will ask for an opportunity to meet with Tremont and his dad, and make his pitch. And if it does not work out, he will quickly be released.

In a show of good faith, it may not be a bad idea to go ahead & grant him the release right now and then ask for a visit.. This way going in they're both starting from scratch, Tremont being willing to listen after getting his release would be a good sign..

If Tremont sees himself as a short-timer, like a one or two and done guy, no way he's coming here. Would be kind of shocking if we aren't really bad short term. If he's very serious about getting a degree and all his academics talk, gotta think we'd have a shot, as he could be the guy who leads us back to glory during his four years on the Hilltop.

Bring the release papers with him to the visit. If he still wants out after his meeting, grant the release on the spot. I mean, they have to be delivered some how

Not necessarily. I mean Fultz went to Washington, Simmons went to LSU. One and Dones play for terrible teams all the time.

I just think this situation, given that he's already pulled his commitment, is a little different.

Sub 6' guys are not one or two and done guys. Look at Yogi Ferrell. This is a four year guy in all likelihood. Ulis is the only one I can think of that wasn't four years.
