:::sneaks into Tremont Waters topic on the HoyaTalk Recruiting board... in darkness, makes way to stage, stands at dais...ruffles imaginary notes, speaks into imaginary mic::: "Greetings. Thank you for coming to this event, uh, Miracles87, uh, thoughts on Ttemont Waters. First off, I want to say thanks to HoyaTalk, for giving me this imaginary forum to express my thoughts, to myself, but still...ahem.. I like Tremont. I've probably, well easily, consumed more Tremont media than I have all other Hoya recruits combined in my life, and I've been a rabid Hoya fan for a very long time. Tremont is not only an immensely skilled player who I really want to come to Georgetown, but he is also, obviously, a super smart young man whose behavior in his recruitment has been honorable and impressive. Having seen him speak off the cuff on his recruitment many times, I am very impressed by him, and will root for him wherever he ends up. Especially, of course, if it is at Georgetown. I've read things about Tremont, and Tremont's family, his Father in particular, that strike me as absurd innuendo with no place on this topic. In closing, I feel that everything about Georgetown that would have appealed to Tremont six months ago should still appeal to him, and we would still be a terrific fit, should he decide to come..:::hears...clanking? hauls ass out to 35th, tries to blend in in the Ben & Jerry's line at Sugars:::

So is Creighton the favorite right now if they can sign him? Would absolutely hate that move.

Not unless the Big East has changed its rules.

I'd say let this guy go and quit paying him this attention. The lack of interest from others in the country is telling of how far off this board and former staff were in rating talent. Let's move forward with a new coach that will take some time to rebuild a program that was run into the ground rather than grasping at straws to think this guy would make us relevant while begging him to come back. Have some damn pride. He obviously isn't what this board built him up to be which in retrospect is very indicative of the last several years of this board. We sucked with overhyped talent that couldn't play and then tried to figure it out.
Let him go and let the new staff have some room to build. Not a quick fix with what was done by hanging on to III for about four seasons too long and leaving the cupboards bare.

Completely moved on from him and so should you..
At this point, whenever I am checking on the board, I am hoping to see the title of this thread being changed to "Tremont Waters 17' signs LOI, then de-commits to commit to uconn/wku"

I certainly understand and share the frustration, but I'm willing to give him and his family the time they need to make their best decision...I'm sure the staff knows what's going on, so I'll defer to them...I hope the Waters' realize that often in life your first choice was the best choice...we shall see ...

Gotta still want this kid. He's a great kid, he's smart, good head on his shoulders and he can score. Would love to get him back!

When MJ Walker (#25 on ESPN 2017) commits today that will leave only 2 unsigned in the ESPN top 100.
Bowen 5 star stud top 15 and Mr Waters....

In case those of you who are letting the frustration of the last couple of seasons bleed over into this recruitment didn't notice, the new staff is still recruiting Treymont and in fact made it a huge priority to visit him as soon as they could. If Ewing wants him, then he's someone we should all want to see on the team.
We should trust what they know instead of letting our own misplaced frustration get in the way.

I hope that he makes a good decision for himself and the school he decides to attend. His situation creates both a great opportunity and an enormous responsibility.

Bowen keeps adding schools to his list, hope PE has reached out. As far as Waters goes, I hope we have him but I don't expect that anyone is losing sleep over his delay.

All star games are bad settings to judge recruits. But Bowen was really impressive in the Jordan game - because he played (more or less) real basketball. he did not do flashy stuff, just drilled jumpers and scored at the rim. He is really skinny, but he looks to be a great combo of skill, athleticism, and basketball intelligence. Hope he ends up at one of the BE schools that seem to be in the mix (Depaul and maybe Creighton?)

I really believe he would flourish (make his place in Hoya History) here under coach E and this would definitely be his team.

Waters and a decent wing would make the team instantly competetive, I think. By now I am way past expecting Waters to repick GU, except..... The Hoyas have generally done ok following radio silence or a lack of info. When a recruitment is more "chatty" we always seem to be on the outside looking in. So, slim hope, anyway!

Western Kentucky reportedly making a hard push I hope he makes the choice to commit and be a Hoya. If not, and he goes the WKU route, then I wish him well. But I wonder if he was ever a good fit. I know that sounds elitist, but I'm not sure Georgetown is about whatever he's after in the first place.

Hope he ends up at one of the BE schools that seem to be in the mix (Depaul and maybe Creighton?) Agreed, would be huge for the conference if he picked DePaul or Dayton. If DePaul, he'd be a featured guy for a year and be able to put up huge numbers for a mediocre team - akin to Larry Hughes when he went to SLU. My guess is Bowen ends up at Oregon, which would be interesting for another Hoya-related reason, as it would likely eat into Paul White's projected playing time.
