I don't see it anywhere. Link? Tweets from Evan Daniels and Jeff Goodman. Pretty official. The Dad is the source for Daniels.

This is just brutal. I thought he was a great fit and would realize that Georgetown remained a good option for him. Disappointed, but wish him well. Patrick and (and his almost completed) staff need to catch a break.

Check please.
I want players who want to be Hoyas.

Many of you saw the writing on the wall. Let's move onward....there are MANY great players, point guards, etc. in the high school ranks, some great ones that would love to be Hoyas. If we ever meet him and them on the court, kick his ass, block all off his shots, and win!

I will never understand the borderline unseemly and totally fantastical "Tremont as program savior" dynamic that took hold here for 12 months. Glad to put this behind the program and to move forward.

If we meet him on the hardwood, perhaps revenge for that hard foul on Charles Smith many moons ago is in order. Anyone remember that one? I will never forget Smitty getting up and shooting both FTs himself, even though he barely could stand up. Lots of talent in that match up with L$U. HOYA SAXA!

Check please. I want players who want to be Hoyas. This. There is a difference between recruiting and begging. Let's move on quickly, and not even look back at "what might have been" or 'If he'd only come here." We're better than that.

Not exactly a shock. Would have been a nice addition, but now the guards we have can focus on their roles.

Find it hilarious the dad cited the SEC Network and being able to watch all of his games on TV.
This was never happening. Glad we can close the book on this one. One more thing, don't post updates after every game he plays.

Ridiculously poor decision based on their professed priorities ("this is not a 4 year decision, its a 40 year decision")...dad's comments sound like a rationalization to me...And I still believe that this may have been his only legitimate Div.1 offer in the end due to the reported "antics" of dad throughout the process...otherwise, it just doesn't make any sense...enjoy the swamp and that coveted LSU education...move on, get somebody better...I think its very likely that PE moved on from this circus a long while ago, while we fanatics tried to hold out hope...

www.scout.com/college/basketball/recruiting/story/1782807-four-star-pg-tremont-waters-signs-lsuThe kid's Dad is flat out saying he's not a one or two-and-done, but someone who needs to develop. I read that to mean three or four years guaranteed in college. If I'm reading this right, one of the reasons Ed Waters is citing is that Wade is signed to a six-year deal - whereas none of the details of Patrick's contract are public, and the only details are that it is a "multiyear deal". Basically if we had conducted a search and hired a coach and released public contract details like any other D1 university we'd be on par here, but since Georgetown acts like an information silo and didn't release any details about Ewing's contract, we look like we're still a head coaching mess waiting to happen.

Ed is perhaps just spitting out fluff to make it sound good for people to hear. Maybe, his son was promised the starting PG position, and Ewing wouldn't commit to that agreement. We'll never know the truth behind it.

Really, that's your take from this? Yes, we lost out to LSU because of the the contrast in what is publicly available on the two coaches' contracts. There isn't a person on the face of this earth who doesn't understand that Ewing would be here for at least the 4 years that Waters would be here. God Almighty, some of this stuff is just asinine....

The kid's Dad is putting it out there that this is the difference and all they really know is that we canned the coach they signed with because he missed the tournament two years in a row.

Well if they can't figure that out, a Georgetown education is not for them anyway!😉

Dude, you are out Blame Gaming POTUS. No, kid did not bail because of questions over PE's job security and it wasn't just two years of III issues that got him fired. He looks like a player and I wanted him to come here too, but he is not the "only" person who can run the point for us and word is he was looking for shot guaranties, which are a ridiculously selfish ask. I continue to think PE never really bought into Waters. Say what you will, the Hoyas will survive and dominate soon.

Because we are a private university and they are a public university. There is no reason for Georgetown to publish any employee's salary or contract.
