Breaking down best potential fits for prized 5-star recruit Emoni Bates

Posted Apr 17, 2022
Others to Consider: North Carolina - "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." North Carolina is going to lose Brady Manek, so if Emoni Bates wanted to play the role as a stretch 4, that would make some sense. But UNC has a really good thing going right now. Armando Bacot is back. Leaky Black is returning. R.J. Davis is too. Caleb Love's decision should come soon. (247 Sports)
