I hope Tremont is enjoying his visit because he would be great on the Hilltop. The kid has some CP3 in his game. I would love to have a true PG running the show. Feeding Jagan and Kaleb on the wings..........

Any sightings? Any news? Should have been a buzz around last night the the HOF event for Iverson.

I have very little, just heard that it's "going well". I suppose that's better than the alternative. All I know is that if the kid is an academic, and by all accounts he is, we should have a very good shot here.

Tremont Waters, the 5-foot-11 point guard from Notre Dame-West Haven, has three big visits coming up over the next three weekends.
After visiting Georgetown two weeks ago, Waters will trip to Kentucky this weekend, followed by Indiana and Kansas the following two weekends. Kansas coach Bill Self and assistant Norm Roberts met Thursday in Connecticut with Waters and Putnam Science (CT) Academy shooting guard Hamidou Diallo.
On the Kentucky trip, Waters will be joined by P.J. Washington, the 6-7 power forward from Team Penny and Findlay (NV) Prep, who takes his first official visit this weekend. Washington is also slated to visit UNC next weekend, along with Arizona and Texas next month.
Kentucky remains involved for several Class of 2017 point guards, including Waters, Quade Green and Trae Young.

Crystal ball starting to favor Kentucky for this one...
I think Tremont is Kentucky's back up to their back up option, but Kentucky is still Kentucky. Needless to say the lack of chatter after his official to Georgetown isn't a great sign.

Does anyone know if he has a real Kentucky offer? It may be that this one is in purgatory until Calisleazy decides the answer to that question.

I don't think he's a top priority for them, but Cal visited him personally not too long ago and I don't think Tremont would take an official there if he didn't have one.

Snippet from ESPN Insider on Waters' visit to IU this weekend:
Indiana has top point guard target on campus
One of the more interesting recruitments of the past week has been that of Tremont Waters (No. 32), the No. 7 point guard. Point guard availability is one of the biggest storylines in the 2017 class, and Waters is a prime example of that development. He took an official visit to Kentucky last weekend, and all the buzz since that visit points to the Wildcats. Kentucky needs a point guard in the 2017 class and hasn’t made much headway with anyone beside Trae Young (No. 15). Should Young stay home and go to Oklahoma, John Calipari could be left in the cold when it comes to point guards -- which helps explain the sudden increase in interest of Waters. Heading into that visit, Indiana was looked at as the leader for Waters, and the Hoosiers will look to get back in position this weekend with Waters in Bloomington. Waters has already visited Georgetown and will go to Kansas next weekend. Keep an eye on this one, though. Things are moving quickly.
Prediction: Kentucky
Confidence level: 50 percent
Toughest competition: Indiana
Others in the mix: Kansas, Georgetown, Yale

Ranked No. 36 overall, Waters has spent the last three weekends on the road visiting Georgetown, Kentucky and Indiana. Up next, he'll head out to Kansas this weekend for what is currently the last official visit he has set. Technically, Yale, Duke and Connecticut are among his final seven, but his choice is expected to come in the relative near future from among those he has visited. Headed into the visit process, Tom Crean and the Hoosiers were considered the team to beat, but after a hastily scheduled trip to Kentucky two weekends ago, the Wildcats have picked up a ton of buzz and things look to be getting really tight between them and the Hoosiers, with the Jayhawks preparing their pitch. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/starting-five-vanderbilt-lands-four-star-obinna

At least he did not commit during the visit. If it would be helpful, the staff should have the full-court press on this one...

Unfortunately a full court press is probably useless at this point.
I mean c'mon does this not have all the typical signs we have recently seen of "close but no cigar".
That is not an indictment on the staff but....Kentucky, Kansas, and Indiana all heavily in the mix...we have about a 1% chance of winning this recruiting battle.
The writing is on the wall if you ask me.

I think the Hoyas have a chance if it ends up that Kansas and Kentucky do not really offer; if it is the Hoyas versus Indiana, I say go all in.

jeffborzello Jeff Borzello Add another one to the Kansas visitor list: elite guard Trevon Duval tells ESPN he's heading to Lawrence this weekend for Late Night.
So, in addition to Waters, KU will have the following PG or combo guards on campus, all ranked ahead of him:
Trevon Duval Colin Sexton Troy Brown, Jr.
Plus, KU is considered one of the top 2 choices of Trae Young.
Hopefully Waters will realize he's the backup to the backup to the backup option. The way Bill Self has things rolling, not only would he be the 2nd or 3rd best guard recruit in his own class, he'd likely get recruited over the following year as well.

I think it will come down to Hoosiers and Hoyas.

But Kansas doesn't lead for any of those kids or Trae Young who says he's waiting until the spring to decide.. Also remember too that Self has done pretty well with Frank Mason and Graham in his back court the last 2 years.. I don't see Self slow playing Waters at all..
