2022 No. 1 basketball recruit Emoni Bates visiting Michigan State for Maryland game

This has been an exciting week for Michigan State fans. On the same night where MSU Basketball knocked off Illinois in a one-point road win, the football team got their man in head coach Mel Tucker. With Spartan fans possibly more excited than ever for the future, there is one more glimmer of hope on the horizon, and that comes in the form of Emoni Bates. Bates is the top player in the 2022 recruiting class and according to Adam Zagoria of ZAGSBLOG he will be in East Lansing this weekend for the Spartans big game against Maryland.

There is a ton of intrigue around Bates, who has been compared to great players like Kevin Durant. As of right now, MSU looks like the clear favorite to recruit Bates if he isn’t able to jump straight to the NBA. If he does come to East Lansing, he will absolutely be a one-and-done player, but this is still a huge deal.

College GameDay will be in town for the big game between MSU vs. Maryland as well.
