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.

Tremont Waters, the 5-11, 160-pound point guard from Notre Dame (CT) High School, committed to Georgetown over Indiana and Kentucky on Wednesday.
“After many discussions with my parents I will be attending Georgetown University,” said Waters.
“Allen Iverson is a great example of what I can become or better. Also the feeling I had when I went to Georgetown. Everyone pretty much want me there, it’s just a family.”
Waters was initially considering seven schools and has already taken officials to Kansas (Oct. 1), Indiana (Sept. 23), Kentucky (Sept. 16), and Georgetown (Sept. 9). He took an unofficial to Georgetown last week (Oct. 15), which triggered an NCAA violation by the Hoyas because they publicized a picture of Waters with the team.
Ranked the No. 10 point guard in the Class of 2017 by 247Sports.com, Waters is Georgetown’s first commit in this class.
“Tremont Waters is a skilled lead guard who is an equipped scorer, but also a talented distributor,” said Evan Daniels of Scout.com. “He’s quick, a good ball handler and a high-level shot maker from distance.”
