Tremont Waters enjoys the new feeling

Tremont Waters was headed for Georgetown until John Thompson III was fired.

New LSU coach Will Wade knew about Waters from his time at VCU. Wade also realized that Waters could solve his problems at point guard. Wade signed Waters, a top-100 player.

Waters joined a Tigers team which was coming off a dreadful campaign in which it won just two of 18 conference games. Most of those losses came by at least ten points.
