Emoni Bates, the No. 1 prospect in high school basketball, is reclassifying into the 2021 class and could enroll in college for the upcoming season.

Bates announced on Instagram he's down to four options: Michigan State, where he decommitted from in the spring, Oregon, Memphis and the G League.

Bates, a 6-foot-9 small forward from Ypsilanti, Michigan, originally committed to Michigan State last summer before reopening his recruitment in April. Before his commitment to the Spartans, Tom Izzo's program had been the only one consistently recruiting him. Since his decommitment, however, a number of schools jumped into the mix.

Of all the unintended impacts of NIL, I have to admit I didn't foresee high school sports being the biggest loser.  I can't blame the guys for wanting to speed up the process to making some serious money though.
