Do you think Emoni Bates will actually play at MSU?

[Smashcat]

He’s not eligible to play in the G league in 2021-2022 because he wouldn’t be 18. And he’d have to re classify just to get to MSUs campus in 2021 which is the most likeliest scenario.

Doesn’t have to be 18 for the select team.

Lol, no.

I think he’ll reclassify and play for State.

I’d be very surprised if he played college ball.

He is good friends with Watts and Brown. He’ll reclass and play with them. They will be the preseason favorites for 21-22, most likely.

No he wont ever even come close to playing there. He only committed because he and his family were vocal about their ass hurt over the fact nobody but michigan state reached out to them when coaches were first allowed to do so. They were mad because nobody called over the fact that it's a forgone conclusion that he will never play college basketball.It's just a formality ....show of respect for Mr. Oerrarated Tom Izzo. This is basically just free publicity for Michigan state

Wow, you have a lot of butt hurt. If Bates committed to Cal(who offered) you'd be whistling a different tune.

Most likely will reclass for 2021 . Doesnt want the g league or overseas. Loves the MSU staff and program. WIthout an NBA rule change , obvious choice is 1 yr of college. Izzo is building a great 2021 supporting class as well.

Stay tuned

Don’t worry we will remember this thread. Make sure to come back if it doesn’t happen though.

Yeah if we land Bates we will be because our roster will have lots of talent outside him. We are the heavy favorites right now to land Max Christie (#1 SG class of 2021) Assuming Henry goes pro, next year lineup would be Watts, Christie, Bates, Hauser and Sissoko. Hauser if he has a good year could also go pro but I don’t think it would matter. Slide in brown or hall to replace him as a starter.
