Emoni Bates still has plenty of time to turn things around, but talk about a cautionary tale. He's gets the crown as the next big thing in the eighth and ninth grade, Nike sponsors his dad's traveling team, they start their own high school (which Shawn Phillips played for for a year), and he committed to Michigan State along the way.
He then decommitted from the Spartans, picked Memphis and graduated early and was a washout with the Tigers this past season. Everyone has been assuming he'd eventually pick Louisville, but nope, he's heading home to Eastern Michigan.
