Tremont Waters is awaiting his release from Georgetown and will then pursue his options going forward, his father told ZAGSBLOG.
“There are no schools that are on the table right now because we’re in the process of getting our release,” Ed Waters said Monday by phone. “That should be any second now. But until we do that, we’re not able to deal with anyone.”
Ranked the No. 33 player in the Class of 2017 out of Notre Dame (CT) High School, the 5-foot-9 Waters was the top commit for the Hoyas and embattled coach John Thompson III.
After finishing the 2016-17 season at 14-18 (5-13 Big East) Thompson III has faced criticism about the job he’s done at what was once a storied program.
With their loss to the Nets on Sunday night at Barclays Center, the Knicks dropped to 26-41 on the season and now own the NBA’s seventh-worst record.
The latest Mock on DraftExpress.com has the Knicks taking 7-foot Arizona star Lauri Markkanen, a native of Finland, at No. 7.
Perhaps because he plays on the West Coast, Markkanen hasn’t gotten as much national attention this season as some other freshmen, including UCLA’s Lonzo Ball, Kansas’ Josh Jackson, Duke’s Jayson Tatum and the Kentucky duo of De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk. All except Monk (No. 8) are projected ahead of Markkanen.
John Calipari and his Kentucky Wildcats will have to navigate through a “Murderer’s Row” of NCAA Tournament opponents in order to get to the Final Four in Glendale, Arizona.
After winning their 30th SEC Tournament title against Arkansas on Sunday afternoon, the Wildcats were ranked as the No. 5 overall team in the Big Dance and given the No. 2 seed in the South.
They will open against No. 15 Northern Kentucky in the late game Friday night in Indianapolis, but then could have to face No. 10 Wichita State (30-4) in the second round on Sunday. The Shockers meet No. 7 Dayton in a first-round game earlier Friday night.
Assuming the Wildcats get through that, they could then have to face No. 3 UCLA (29-4) — which beat Kentucky at Rupp Arena in December — in the Sweet 16 in Memphis.
After that?
