It appears that a great many schools that were recruiting him have backed off...must be universal insanity. You get no argument from me that we have a major need for him and that he'd be a great fit...but there could be issues surrounding his recruitment that have caused things to get this way...issues that have caused many to say thanks but no thanks... I'm reading the tea leaves, and what has been said or alluded to by others...now, there's always the possibility that committing to LSU, no matter what they tell him, isn't what he and his Dad really want...and that interest by both sides gets reunited, and I hope that happens but I think the odds are slim. You're not reading tea leaves, you're making things up.

Maybe, they will hire his dad. Baton Rouge is a long away to see your kid play. Glad it's not too far from me. If it's LSU, I may drive up to see him play.

I don't make things up, and you might want to slow your roll of unfounded personal accusations...let this thing play out, and if it turns out that I am misguided, I'll be the first to admit it...

It may just be my pessimism, and I have absolutely no inside information, but I find it hard to believe that Waters comes back to Georgetown at this point. He clearly knows the university itself; the coaching staff less so, but he did meet with Ewing, and still he seems to be casting a wide net. I don't fault the kid for looking at his options, but I think if he was going to come around to re-committing to Georgetown it would have happened already.
The LSU recruitment is just weird to me. Maybe there's a personal connection involved that we don't know about, but otherwise it really doesn't seem to make a lot of sense from either academic standpoint (what he's said in the past on academics seems like lip service at this point) or basketball standpoint (if he wants a team that is going to have quick success).

Perhaps he is casting about for a Power 5 conference team, and is keeping our offer in his pocket in case his efforts continue to be unfruitful. Whatever the case, Patrick clearly is not relying on Waters coming, but is exploring all options, as he should be.

At this point, I'm not even sure that a schollie to Georgetown is still an option...if it is, there's no way in the world he chooses LSU over Georgetown based on his and his dad's alleged priorities...so, if he commits to LSU on his visit, it may be that its his only choice at this point based on the nature of his recruitment...if I'm wrong and he doesn't commit, and he then commits to Georgetown, I'll be happy to apologize for misreading the situation... Right. We're recruiting and have actionable scholarships for completely unranked kids like Blair, we have two - maybe three unused scholarships, we haven't added a 4* recruit in two years, we barely have enough guys to field a team, but we don't have a scholarship offer for Waters - the best player out there at a position we absolutely have been desperate for for years? I think at this point we'd use two or three scholarships on Waters if we could, if it took a package deal with one of his high school teammates, I'm pretty sure we'd do it. The idea that we - at the point we're at right now - are turning are noses up at a kid who by all means is qualified and doesn't seem to have any issues is insane. When you say "one of his high school teammates," which of his three high schools do you have in mind? I agree with your actual point, though--there's no way that he no longer has a committable offer from GU.

He's not coming here, we should all move on... Isn't "Never move on . . . " a Hoyatalk maxim? I'm looking forward to doubling the length of this thread if Tremont decides to go elsewhere.

Tremont, if you want exposure, the PK80 Tournament in November will be historic. Come and get it!

We are the one program (out of 16) not to post about the Nike bracket release yesterday. You don't think Tremont (or any recruit in this generation) would get hyped seeing the program "market" itself when playing in Nike's flagship/special event. Why don't we at least hire an intern from the MSB to help with our social media?

Is this really the right thread to complain about this stuff about in?

Is this really the right thread to complain about this stuff about in? Of course not, but this is HoyaTalk! In all seriousness, this is going to have virtually no impact on Waters or any other recruit.
