John Thompson III's firing re-opened Tremont Waters' recruitment and LSU pounced Monday by landing the 4-star point guard.
Ed Waters, Tremont's father, announced his son signed the letter of intent to Evan Daniels of Scout.com.
"Multiple reasons," Ed Waters told Daniels of why Tremont was heading to LSU. "Lengthy conversations with the coach and looking into the SEC we have the network where our wife and I can catch every game if we want to on our network."
"Having a good contract was important and understanding a coach like Will Wade coming in has to prove himself, just like Tremont does," he added.
