Just a few days ago, four Spartans and assistant coach Mike Garland went to go watch the top high school basketball prospect in the country, 5-star Emoni Bates, play Marcus Bingham Jr.’s brother Mykel in a big high school basketball match-up. Today, Bates returns to Michigan State on Sunday to watch their last regular-season game of the year against Ohio State. The news was first reported by Corey Evans from Rivals.
Bates was last in town for the Spartans home game loss to Maryland. While there is still a chance that Bates goes straight to the NBA after high school, if the NBA tweaks their rules before 2022, MSU has put themselves in a prime spot to secure the commitment of the Ypsilanti, Michigan native.

Bates is just one of a number of football and basketball recruits who will be in town today. Five of the best local high school football players in the state of Michigan will be in the building along with 5-star shooting guard Max Christie and 4-star PG Jaden Akins.
