When Class of 2017 guard Tremont Waters committed to Georgetown last October, the Hoya Nation was ecstatic. Finally the Hoyas would not only have their most highly regarded high school guard prospect since Allen Iverson in the nineties and Anthony Perry a couple of years later, but also signing Waters could stem the thought G’Town is a place where good guards don’t go.

G’Town, led by Water’s chief recruiter Anthony Solomon, had pulled the 36th ranked prospect in his class. Times and feelings were good.

Then came March, when Waters asked for his letter of intent release, thereby making him available to attend any school (to date that request has not been granted). Waters issued a statement, noting among other things “After observing everything that’s been occurring lately and thoroughly thinking of this next decision…I want to remove myself from Georgetown University”. The Hoyas finished last season 14-18.

Several weeks later, Solomon, along with head coach John Thompson III and the rest of that staff were removed. Up next has come Patrick Ewing, who was officially introduced as the program's leader yesterday. Yes, that Ewing, the same guy who starred on The HIlltop before becoming a National Basketball Association star and eventual hall of famer.

Where do the Hoyas now stand with Waters and his father, Ed?

On ESPN’s Mike and Mike, Ewing reportedly indicated he’s planning on meeting the Waters, Friday, to re-pitch Georgetown’s merits.

To be sure, the Hoyas have previously and recently discussed with the Family Waters why Tremont should remain in the fold. What have those talks touched upon?

Based on information garnered from a knowing source, recently we reported just that. Access Premium Court for that posting.
