Though most believe he will go straight to the NBA when draft rules change, it is nice to see his loyalty to his hometown state. I wonder if he will be to Michigan what LeBron was to Ohio (pre "The Decision").

Will we be seeing Emoni in a Pistons jersey in 2022???

The Hawks, Knicks and Warriors will have a say in that.

I saw that news today... I've watched a few of Bates' games online; kid is the Real Deal!

I wonder if this commitment will stick, surprisingly early to make a decision this big.

Emoni is leaving his public high school and attending a newly created basketball academy where he will be coached by his dad. Rumors have started that he may re-classify to 2021 and take advantage of new rules allowing him to profit from his name, likeness and image in college.
