Kentucky is reportedly in solid position with the next generational basketball talent in 2022 five-star wing Emoni Bates.
Considered the top overall prospect in all of high school basketball, regardless of class, Bates has mentioned Kentucky and Michigan State as two likely college options if he decides to go to school.
In a recent post on 247 Sports by Evan Daniels, Brian Snow, and Josh Gershon, they reported that the top option for Bates is to go straight to the NBA if the one-and-done rule goes away, but if not, it could come down to the Wildcats and Spartans.
