(2017) PG Tremont Waters to LSU

[Demo 17,489]

Love to have the kid. Think he's really good and a perfect system fit. But if he picks GU  we go all in on Darius Garland for '18.

Go all in, miss, go all in, miss...repeat. its time to land some of these big targets!

i rarely chime in recruit threads.  for me anyway, missing on waters would cause anguish.  instant impact, excellent all-around floor generals like him lead conference title and final four runs ... with the major plus that he's already mature, highly intelligent, guaranteed not to create problems/distractions.  his game reminds me so much of chris paul, without the douchiness and recurring bag-tagging.  he tops my recuit wish list.  immerse yourself in the basketball capital of the world and become the next great hoosier guard, tremont!  buckner, thomas, alford, guyton, oladipo, yogi, waters.

My prediction sadly is Cubs lose this series to the Dodgers.

This one's for a Cubs series loss, and for us, johnsoniu:

Looking pretty Hoya-ish.

Good program. Good coach. Closer to his home. No guard logjam.

Ya win some and ya lose some!

Just shows how fluid this stuff really is, but I wonder what in the world changed in just a week.

All of the insiders on IU boards were pointing to IU for Waters and to look for a decision in 1-2 weeks, now it's pretty much the opposite.  

Same thing happened when Wilkes suddenly shows up for an unofficial on Saturday and we're pretty much teased all day long that "a commitment is likely this weekend!" and more info of that nature.

Who knows, we still could get both, but I wouldn't be shocked if we get neither.

Very well said.  That's why I don't follow recruiting too closely.  You can drive yourself nuts over the whims of a teenager.  I really appreciate those that do for this site though because it's fun to get a current valuation on recruitment.  Just don't ever ever ever take it as gospel.

This recruitment is why you have to have a shotgun approach to recruiting.  Teenagers aren't getting less fickle, so you have to have a wide net on talented players.  I hope we get him, but if we don't, we'll get another big one.  There will be another fickle one near the deadline.  It's what they mean by "dominos".  If you're in the game, a big one will fall your way.

Everyone just needs to calm down and take a breath. Speculation is only building unnecessary hype and paranoia. I'm going to just relax until Tremont announces where he's going to play.

We should feel really good about this one, right @hoosierpap?

Idk man, but felt weird about the Gtown visit. Good friend is pretty well connected to Gtown and has heard IU for months, through all the UK stuff. He told me Gtown has been selling PG recruits on a changed offense and assumes that has to be what Waters is buying if all this is true. Also, thinks that any talk of it being a visit for a free Wale concert was silly, Gtown just opened some new practice facilities that were talked about but not open prior to his OV.  That said, he doesn't know, and I don't know, because Tremont's family keeps it close.

This makes me feel better at least. Man though as a PG not sure if buy into a coach saying he's going to change. Organizations rarely change 100% according to plan. For a guy with NBA aspirations better to go with the offense you KNOW is going to let you shine.

I think it was proved to him on the visit

Fair enough. I still like Creans pitch more. Top Ten offense 4 of the last 5 years

No, I'm saying JN went to Pitt on a promise from Dixon that Pitt was switching to an uptempo offense. That's one of the main reasons JN opted to transfer after two years.

Oh I get what you meant. My bad. But yes exactly my point. 

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Gonna need a PG.

No Meyer or Bozich switch yet.

One more switched their pick from iu to gtown late last night but we hold edge overall still. Not sure if some are just jumping on the bandwagon or what. Just strange to me there wasn't a complete overhaul in gtown picks if it was a certainty he was going there.

They'll change before the announcement. A lot of time left
