Emoni Bates to potentially announce commitment Friday, MSU among finalists

Special to the Detroit News

No retreat, no surrender; that is Spartan law.

It's also how Michigan State has recruited Ypsilanti basketball phenom Emoni Bates, and it'll find out soon whether a new age has truly begun in East Lansing.

Bates appeared to announce on Tuesday via Instagram that he'd be taking his decision public on Friday at 6 p.m.

Michigan State is one of four potential destinations for Bates, who'd long been the top recruit in the 2022 class before he reclassified to the 2021 class earlier this month. Memphis, Oregon and the NBA G League are also in the mix for Bates.
