The facility is EXTREMELY impressive, and should have a significant impact on recruits...my question to B&G is, is Tremont still here, or has he gone? Any feedback and/or timetable for a decision? I would think that if he comes a second time (presumably on his own dime), sees/tours the TAC, hangs with the team (maybe even plays some pickup), has his pic taken with the team, enjoys the festivities, that he would be as close to pulling the trigger as he could get...also, I haven't heard anything about Moultrie's official visit...any word on that? Might we take both Waters and Moultrie, or is it likely one or the other?...Thanks for any imput...let's get it done!

It is an impressive facility but I'm not sure it will have a game-changing impact--here's why. For years, Georgetown fought above its weight class against schools that all maintained top-level practice facilities. The Thompson Center brings Georgetown up to this level but it's not going to overwhelm any recruit which has already seen the run of modern facilities already in place at SEC and Big 10 schools. www.nj.com/rutgersbasketball/index.ssf/2015/02/10_basketball_practice_facilities_that_will_blow_r.html

But at least our lack of a facility cannot be used against us any more.

Have to believe Gtown is in the top 4 along with Kentucky, Indiana & Kansas.. Gotta be in it to win it, right.

Waters confirmed that Kentucky coach John Calipari “was here three times”, Kansas coach Bill self once, Georgetown coach John Thompson III twice, but not UConn coach Kevin Ollie. He also said Indiana sent an assistant. Waters said he gets calls from various people interested in his son’s decision “between four to seven times a day.”

“I now can see why people take so long to make a decision. They want to be 110 percent sure,” Ed Waters said. “This is a commitment you have to live with for 40 years.”
I like this quote for Georgetown. Might also see the timing as pre-empting a potential Moultrie commitment before he visits this weekend.

Just in case people aren't excited (scared?) enough about his decision tomorrow, at his current RSCI ranking of #37, Waters would be the Hoyas highest ranked guard recruit since DSR (who was also #37 in the RSCI rankings). Chris Wright (#31) and Austin Freeman (#14) are the only other top 50 RSCI guards JT3 has brought in. For some more context, Greg Monroe (#6), Vernon Macklin (#16), DaJuan Summers (#26), Otto Porter (#34) and Nate Lubick (#42) are the other top 50 RSCI ranked recruits JT3 has brought in.

can't be mad at the timing. he may not pick the hoyas, but objectively this is a nice sequence of events for us.

Well, he's deciding right after visiting us so that's a good sign. Then again, he's also deciding right after Scruggs popped for Xavier over Indiana. And of course Calipari has visited him 3 times in the past couple of weeks but he may be a back up plan.

The timing is exciting. Would be a massive pickup given all the circumstances and could really change the perspective on the future.

Would change the entire tenor of recruiting and be an unbelievable start to this season. No inside info, but my gut is saying he's going to be a Hoya. It's our time folks. B&G any inside stuff to add here??

I really want him to commit to Georgetown if anything just to stick it to those smug guys at 247 who never pick us for their crystal ball.

Certainly can't hurt that he was just on campus. Will keep expectations in check, but a commit here would be enormous and put my skepticism to rest.

The same guy who trumpeted our non-violation recruiting violation. I hope Tremont comes to the Blue and Gray just to stick it to this donkey.

Obviously, this would be a great start to our 2017 class and greatly assuage some of the concerns many of us have about the class of 2017. Waters would be a great add. It's hard to be optimistic but my fingers are crossed.
