[manyfaces]

You around there. Is Ypsi seafood still open?

Michigan state flourishing
What a dumb decision

 

[NormanConnors]

he never seemed like an Izzo/MSU type of player. It’s not because he was highly rated either, plenty of top 10 guys have come thru and usually they’re humble and love Izzo and the school…bates just seems a bit entitled and selfish and isn’t interested in changing his approach which is hard to do at that age.

if he was from Cali or Arizona I doubt Izzo would’ve been targeting him but since he’s one of the few 5*’s that the state of MI produces these days it was important to recruit him.

Detroit and MI used to have a 5* every year or so and now it’s like every 5 years…

not sure if UK ever recruited him but the best fit for Bates’ personality imo would be coach Cal. He’s a little less of a control freak than Izzo but still gets a lot out of players and develops talent.

Some of Emoni's story, especially with his pops interfering mirrors Brandan Kearney's. These parents just can't let the kid cook/are too focused on the major bag without actually getting there first.. It doesn't make sense to interfere at that particular level when your kid is just about there/ready to make it.

Forgot all about him. What ever happened to him?

Still trying to make the NBA, last I heard from him was trying out for the Pistons G league squad last year.

Giving how Izzo runs his unit he would had a good 2 years to ball out after waiting out not playing much his first 2 years. He could have still got on th3 floor then if he listened/committed to defense. I Remember his pops was gassing him up big time.

take a look at someone like Gabe Brown. Was barely a top 150 recruit and now he’s playing himself into a late 1st rounder.

Nobodys life peaks at 17 dawg.. its about just having a chance to enjoy your youth. Its a real battle out here in adulthood. No reason to rush that shyt.

But now look at Emoni. What did it gain? Nothing

That used to be a nice little hole in the wall joint when I wanted some kinda soul food and didn't feel like driving all the way back to the city. Me and my wife keep saying when we go home we're gonna run up there to hit some of the old spots, but we never find the time.
