Future Shabazz Napier? Tremont Waters Getting it Done in Classroom, on Basketball Court at South Kent

It's obnoxiously early to start talking about Class of 2017 prospects. Sure, every now and then you get a kid who commits real early (ask Ryan Boatright how that worked out), but really, let's let the kids enjoy their high school years as much as possible and see how they develop over those years before we start labeling them top prospects and wondering where they'll take their talents.

All that said, New Haven's own Tremont Waters seems like a special one -- in a lot of ways. He's made high honors at South Kent Prep for the spring term. He's been voted as one of his class's leaders. He's already a mentor to some young kids in New Haven. Oh, and as a freshman, he made honorable mention all-New England Prep League after averaging 13 points and a team-high 2.2 steals per game.

There seems little doubt that Waters likes UConn. Likewise, UConn likes Waters. But then, so do Florida, Duke, Syracuse, Maryland, Oklahoma, St. John's, Villanova ... the list goes on and on.
