Tremont Waters is the highest ranked player from the '17 class that is still unsigned. He's ranked in the 30's by most. Waters is a former Expressions Elite player....

They should be all over this guy. If AJ Reeves goes to UConn (247sports says 9-0 UConn), they'll have him, Adams, Larrier, and 4* Jackson taking up the 2/3 spots. They would have a serious logjam from 1-3. We have a big opening at the 2/3 - he'd probably start right away (like JT).
