Emoni Bates, the top-ranked national recruit out of Ypsi Prep Academy (Mi.), sent a bit of a shockwave through the college basketball recruiting landscape on Friday afternoon by announcing his decommitment from Michigan State.
“I would like to thank Tom Izzo and the coaching staff at Michigan State but I have decided to reopen my recruitment,” Bates wrote on Instagram. “I’m not sure what my future holds but I am keeping all of my options open, both college and pro.”
A five-star forward who’s arguably the best prospect in the country, regardless of class, Bates will undoubtedly become one of the most coveted prospects in the country as he also considers a professional path.
