He couldn't even make it against Aac Competition and now he's thinking he can take a year off and go pro. He needs to play down in Australia like Lamelo did
You need to learn to be uncomfortable to be comfortable. Out of comfort zone. Great video man. Great quote. Your quote seems like it comes from a college student unlike Emoni Bates

Sometimes that “young prodigy” curse is real..many times a player from any sport blossoms very early and never really has any more room to grow. He’s been dominating for so long, when he hit the big boys they were just as good. Personally he never showed much humility to be elite…look up Schae Cotton…same deal..hopefully Emoni can have better guidance in his life. When things have been good for so long and then they turn bad, you can’t cope…hopefully he can voice back🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💪🏾
Transferring the Eastern Michigan does seem like a cop out, it his second year all he would’ve had to do was stay at Memphis, average 15+, and his team be winning and he would’ve been just fine.
@@suavekay940 I was 16 turning 17 in 12th… I went prep though so I sort of different. But the same with Emoni the moved him up… his sophomore (10th) grade year he was Gatorade player of the year (#1 player in his class and ranked top 100 in the country) 11th grade is when his pop started that school they played nobody’s but it was designed for Emoni to deliver and he did on his side. Going into his 12th grade year he teamed up with the Philly AAU team “Team Final” and won nationals during the summer and ran with the hype and skipped his senior year. People make mistakes, thing is it seems he (his team) seemed to realize it too and pulled him. Everyone that watches everyday hoops know Eastern Michigan and Memphis are on two different levels but it was a opportunity to thrive get him to be preforming the way he needs to be a lottery/1st round pick and if so make a run in the March Madness tournament. But to the critics he’s running from competition, like someone on here said it’s about working smarter not harder. The goal is the nba not to prove yourself to the fans he’s the most dominant player in NCAA d1 basketball ever… he do him in college stay healthy no matter the competition/conference he’s hooping in as long as his team places in the March Madness tournament and he is the leading scorer or one of the teams top players (should be) Emoni has no worries regardless of y’all say
I have never been impressed with Emoni Bates or Mikey Williams. Both of them will be humbled and exposed at the next level whether its NCAA or the NBA.
nigga wht are yu talkin bout mikey and emoni or two completely different players ur not a nba or college scout yu have no clue whtchu talkin bout sayin mikey gon get exposed lmao
So mikey is supposed to be not confident in his game? Like yall get on him for being confident in his game your supposed to think your the best on the court that's the right mindset

“Highschool” how did I know I’d find a typo in this lol. Maybe you shouldn’t have skipped either. Or of, as you might say. Please shut up, you sound ignorant.
Dudes microphone can’t handle his yellin lol. Yeesh. One of the few channels where the TH-camr is a bit of a clown, but the topics he covers are things I’m interested in so I watch anyways lol. He just makes it more and more difficult tho
That's what happens when you are made to believe you're the next KD... He committed to Michigan State as a Underclassmen in HS... then he joins Memphis thinking he's gonna be the head honcho. Then he threw a fit for not getting play time, because he didn't want to fit in the system.... Then he wants to go to a no-name hometown mid major thinking that would push him closer to being drafted... And now he's going the Kyrie Walker route. People in his corner aren't really in his corner. You think Chet was balling out with Gonzaga like he's gonna be in OKC?? NO, he followed the system and perfected his role. That's what Emani needs to do with a major D1 team, or else it's a wrap. He's not good enough for the G-League or Euro League... Maybe the NBL / CBL, but he won't get to the league that way. His best bet is sitting his ass down, thinking about the safest route, and keeping your head low and get to work. He's about to be on a Juco struggling if he doesn't get right.
in my own opinion, the amount of improvement he will have to make to even be a top 10 prospect, I don't think one offseason and one college season will be enough time.
He’s been working this summer with pro’s the kid didn’t just wake up and say I’m league ready if Chet can play in the league and be a top lottery pick Emoni is going to be top 10 if not guaranteed 1st rounder.
@@Morcceferc dj has his senior year of high school coming up and one or two years at Kentucky to look forward to (a lot of time for Growth and Development) I would of understood if you asked what about Mikey Williams future but…
You can’t downplay EMU, its still D1 and those boys still compete if he’s that good theres no problem where he would’ve played. They still play against great competition is Division 1 people played on worse team and made it to the league
Matt I have to correct you. Eastern Michigan is Not as bad as you claim. First they do play schools like Michigan, Michigan St. Etc. They have also have been to the NCAA tourney a few times. Lastly, the players are Not garbage. They have been a few player that have made it to the NBA from EMU. example: George Gervin, Earl Boykins, Grant Long, Derrick Dial and 7 others. So maybe this wasn't a bad ideal for emoni but even tho I know u meant well, in doing so u may have miss spoke. No ill will from my part, I like ur show and I have subscribed to ur channel.
Emoni can still ball he's better than a lot players in college right now he's always been a skinny kid and he was never looked at what he does on the defensive end he's known for his unlimited offensive potential he's been compared to KD another skinny kid when he came outta high school who was looked at for his OFFENSIVE POTENTIAL not defense we are always so quick to write players off after a bad year....
There’s nothing wrong with what his dad did. Emoni already has great D1 experience that players his age don’t have. Experience can go a long way. Look at March Madness every single year.
I wish he stays at Memphis because Penny Hardaway would’ve help. In his prime, he was great point guard. He could’ve done a lot of development for Emoni bro🤦🏾♂️
So where was the part about him "leaving college" because i didn't see that anywhere in the video? Even though i agree with what you said there is no new information in this one.
Worst in our conference maybe but definitely not one of the worst in D1 basketball. There’s a reason we got matched up vs the #1 and #2 in the nation when Zion was at duke. Played them then Kansas 2 weeks after
On the other hand, if Emoni goes to Eastern Michigan and takes them to the Final Four while averaging 20/10 per game, he'll jump to the top ten in the NBA draft. I'm not saying this is going to happen. But that's the upside.
@@deetown7366 They do not get an automatic bid like UConn or Michigan, they have to win their conference tournament. With a record of 10-21 last year good luck.
@@deetown7366 Getting drafted and then two to three years later in the G league or at end of bench. This was supposed to be the next KD. He is going to the league but how long will he stay is another conversation
@@deetown7366 Look at Matt McClung . This man surpassed Allen Iverson highschool records for state of VA, extremely athletic but have difficulty finding a consistent roster spot. Again good luck
Why is every so eager to leave college. That’s a great experience to play college ball. These are kids saying they ready to play against grown men with the dog in them…he not ready 😂
They said the same thing about Lavar! Blah, blah, blah. Emoni will be fine. Going to shut all you haters up. Including the one who made this video and did nothing but throw shade at a young man. Let's go Emoni!
Thai is what happens when you classify up… he should have stayed with his age group! His body wasn’t physically developed enough even in hs dude super skinny. That being said he can take the Chang of scenery as his freshman year of College (even though it’s not) Eastern Michigan is still D1 so he will end up playing top D1 schools either way for out of conference play! He averages 18-22ppg he will be a first rd pick next year he just has to ball. Sometimes people need a change of scenery it’s not always your talent or connections that take u places it’s your decisions so he could have stayed another year at Memphis but Memphis isn’t the ultimate goal the NBA is so he chose what he thought was the best path for him so he has to live with the consequences. I’d rather have be confident then unsure of myself and he didn’t like the situation at Memphis. Ball out next year and enter the draft Emoni! Manifest that shit 🤟🏾
Ok here’s the problem it’s his parents!!! Look at what GG Jackson did last month and decommitted from UNC to reclassify and committ to South Carolina. It’s like this when you reclassify you have to be physically ready because for one you’re going to miss a lot of the summer workouts and that plays a big part. Emoni needed to be put in a weight gain along with strength and conditioning once he arrived on Memphis campus. Also he shouldn’t have been compared to Penny either he should’ve came in as himself and found out were his game fit and the improvements that he needed to make. His dad is literally sabotaging Emoni’s future! SMH
Bates should have went to Kentucky...even it he played the way he played with Memphis, still would have had a chance at the league....BJ Boston did not play well there but still made to the NBA
@@ericd9937 That would of been a disaster because Coach Kal is not allowing that shit on his team and they are on national tv every week. That man would left the school in December
EMU is a smart move he's going to be star, and can fully develop his game. Emoni getting drafted on his height and potential so he doesn't need a big time D1 school to get drafted late first round. He's going to NBA no matter what 🤷♂️
Smart decision, he will go 18 in the draft next year. He is still super young and super skinny, with a good jumper. He gains 30pds he is a steal!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tbh, It's a combination of Emoni and his camp. Emoni is very egotistical and he thought he was better than the rest of Memphis team lol he very much wanted to be the focal point of the team and be the face of the team, i dont have credibility here but i have spoke to someone that has spoken to Emoni and he very much did not like Memphis. EMU is a good place for Emoni he can get reps and work on his game and be the face of a team for now.
Come on, man, if Chet Holmgreen can make the league, then so can Emoni. No need to hate or judge. A lot of current star NBA players started out skinny and there’s a lot of players who are still skinny, but eventually bulked up; ie Giannis, KD (still skinny), LaMelo, etc
If you look at the 1st round of this year draft their was only 1 player from a pretty small school being david Roddy who played for Colorado st and they made March madness
Matt maybe you can help me with this how did Peyton Watson make it to the nba in the first round and Emoni Bates who plays a similar game and was ranked higher and did a better job in college than Watson is a bigger question mark
Emoni career is over, if he continues surrounding himself with yes-men, and continues listening to his dad then he’ll be working at Walmart scanning my girls tampons.
Watched all the games he played in at Memphis. He is weak with the ball and can't take physical play due to his weak frame. Don't know who is in his ear but its bad info.
this video is click bait. to shorten it up he put on IG hes going to the draft after this year not leaving college altogether. really had to listen to you ramble about nothing to find out he posted a IG story.
Everyone has a different journey to the league not the “traditional” way… I know you doing what you doing for views but c’mon be a understanding adult! Things/times are changing look at Travis Hunter! Why be so up set though?? Is the question I’m asking.. college basketball is a business like it or not, go to eastern Michigan to play in a conference where he’s gonna shine and get put into a position to where he’s looking like a top lottery pick… leave bcuz it’s a business move in what way is it hurting him? “MattbeGreat”sounds kind of like a hater, lavar ball was “overconfident too huh?”
It’s different bc dude fed off his own hype his entire come up. Then when he gets to the next level he sees he’s not as good as everyone was always tellin him he was. 8months ago he figured he play college for a bit and then enter the draft w/ em other prospects. But he instead found out that he’s hardly a draft consideration. And instead of proving himself non the biggest stage, he decided to bounce to a place where he’ll look better w/o improving his game. NBA teams would notice why he transferred if he did play well.
@@tjanderson5892 yeah he was in college as a freshman when he was supposed to be doing his senior year in high school… he went to a already solid team and his pops pulled him due to the way penny was using him (Emoni developed slower than usual) but on that level of basketball (ncaa) the conference your playing is important. He did not fit the system that good either. But so what the key is to make it to the big leagues and as of this minute he’s still a predicted first round draft pick. Every player in the league did not have a stand out stellar college career lol be serious! Dame lillard went where? Lou Williams went where? Just to name two players who 1 went to a mid major d1 and put up point nd still became a super star in the nba and the other skipped college and also made a productive career in the nba. People like Greg Ogden balled in college but wasn’t shit in the nba …saying that to say what your stating is your opinion, the fact is that as long as he stay away from injuries Emoni Bates is going to be a 1st round draft pick in the nba draft… again colleges have different conferences in ncaa basketball and if you watch you’ll see every conference has a certain style of basketball they’re known for playing, if one’s style don’t fit the team/conference they’re playing in/for it makes since to go to a school/conference that fits your style of game
@@keithkelso9872 no tf he wasn’t💀 he was born January 28th 2004, I was born January 16th 2004 and just graduated highschool this year. How tf was he old for his grade when he wasn’t even eligible for this year draft. Y’all need to use that thing we call a brain
He got a lot to work in terms of nba readiness he look awful at best in year one with memphis. I guess his handlers are making bad decisions for him such a pity for this kid. He will be just another washed kid if dis persist
He had one bad year…. He can still bounce back and be the player we been watching for 4 years now 😂

EMU is a smart move he's going to be star, and can fully develop his game. Emoni getting drafted on his height and potential so he doesn't need a big time D1 school to get drafted late first round. He's going to NBA no matter what 🤷♂️
Tell me you don't follow college basketball without telling me you don't follow college basketball.
Everyone wanna be Lavar Ball but ends up being the Newmans
U tripping if he drops 40 at EMU he def will get drafted
Smh this is sicken, his dad ruined his career
You know that Emoni isn’t leaving college right? He will when he declares for the draft but for now he isn’t.
Penny was gonna turn him into a monster
His confidence is down obviously. This is meant to be a confidence builder
Smart decision, he will go 18 in the draft next year. He is still super young and super skinny, with a good jumper. He gains 30pds he is a steal!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Emoni dad reminds me of Julian Newmans dad they both Force there son to have big ethos
Every Dad thinks they Lavar Ball 😭😭😭
Black dads
He has gotten terrible advice.
never heard you criticize white parent of athlete. how many videos do you have uploaded? interesting ratio
AMEN!
I still don't wonder why people don't just go overseas it's better then collage IMO
Emoni Bates and Noah Farrakhan is about to go off at Eastern Michigan
I forgot about simba
Tbh, It's a combination of Emoni and his camp. Emoni is very egotistical and he thought he was better than the rest of Memphis team lol he very much wanted to be the focal point of the team and be the face of the team, i dont have credibility here but i have spoke to someone that has spoken to Emoni and he very much did not like Memphis. EMU is a good place for Emoni he can get reps and work on his game and be the face of a team for now.
Come on, man, if Chet Holmgreen can make the league, then so can Emoni. No need to hate or judge. A lot of current star NBA players started out skinny and there’s a lot of players who are still skinny, but eventually bulked up; ie Giannis, KD (still skinny), LaMelo, etc
chet was a starting center as a freshman for a great Gonzaga Team… they are not the same lol emoji wasn’t even a 6th or 7th man
@@pedroramirez0824 emoni was gonna start before he got injured or wherever tf he disappeared too
@@cfromgrapeseed1924 No he started , then was eventually put at the sixth man
Noah Farrakhan plays at Eastern Michigan know that probably had something to do
If you look at the 1st round of this year draft their was only 1 player from a pretty small school being david Roddy who played for Colorado st and they made March madness
My nephew Pat Baldwin played for Milwaukee-Wisconsin and went 28th to GS
Steal of the draft watch and see if he didn't break his ankle he woulda been in the lottery
Have you made varsity ?
He can enter the draft, doesn't mean he's gonna get drafted though
Up his draft value by playing against bad players and near hometown
Yo wsp Matt
I’m not even sure he could of played at South Dakota state. Not last year anyway.
Matt maybe you can help me with this how did Peyton Watson make it to the nba in the first round and Emoni Bates who plays a similar game and was ranked higher and did a better job in college than Watson is a bigger question mark
We’re you good at sport serious question
Someone needs to find his hs stats or something. He might be the next Skip Bayless
Emoni career is over, if he continues surrounding himself with yes-men, and continues listening to his dad then he’ll be working at Walmart scanning my girls tampons.
Don't come for us Eagles like that!!!
Or how about u let A Man make his own decision
Let’s be 100 you don’t know the back story on why he went to emu bro he got issues with ppl at state
bro got a gun charge now its ova
Didn't understand a word of the last 5 seconds of this video...
He feel like he’s game translate better to nba
Watched all the games he played in at Memphis. He is weak with the ball and can't take physical play due to his weak frame. Don't know who is in his ear but its bad info.
Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour and he is love 💕 🙏🏾
He should have stayed in Memphis ❗️
He doesn’t know what to do😂
Seems like another Julian Newman story
this video is click bait. to shorten it up he put on IG hes going to the draft after this year not leaving college altogether. really had to listen to you ramble about nothing to find out he posted a IG story.
Young Kobe will do him
Sounds like sir newman
Everyone has a different journey to the league not the “traditional” way… I know you doing what you doing for views but c’mon be a understanding adult! Things/times are changing look at Travis Hunter! Why be so up set though?? Is the question I’m asking.. college basketball is a business like it or not, go to eastern Michigan to play in a conference where he’s gonna shine and get put into a position to where he’s looking like a top lottery pick… leave bcuz it’s a business move in what way is it hurting him? “MattbeGreat”sounds kind of like a hater, lavar ball was “overconfident too huh?”
It’s different bc dude fed off his own hype his entire come up. Then when he gets to the next level he sees he’s not as good as everyone was always tellin him he was. 8months ago he figured he play college for a bit and then enter the draft w/ em other prospects. But he instead found out that he’s hardly a draft consideration. And instead of proving himself non the biggest stage, he decided to bounce to a place where he’ll look better w/o improving his game. NBA teams would notice why he transferred if he did play well.
@@tjanderson5892 yeah he was in college as a freshman when he was supposed to be doing his senior year in high school… he went to a already solid team and his pops pulled him due to the way penny was using him (Emoni developed slower than usual) but on that level of basketball (ncaa) the conference your playing is important. He did not fit the system that good either. But so what the key is to make it to the big leagues and as of this minute he’s still a predicted first round draft pick. Every player in the league did not have a stand out stellar college career lol be serious! Dame lillard went where? Lou Williams went where? Just to name two players who 1 went to a mid major d1 and put up point nd still became a super star in the nba and the other skipped college and also made a productive career in the nba. People like Greg Ogden balled in college but wasn’t shit in the nba …saying that to say what your stating is your opinion, the fact is that as long as he stay away from injuries Emoni Bates is going to be a 1st round draft pick in the nba draft… again colleges have different conferences in ncaa basketball and if you watch you’ll see every conference has a certain style of basketball they’re known for playing, if one’s style don’t fit the team/conference they’re playing in/for it makes since to go to a school/conference that fits your style of game
He was old for his grade
@@tjanderson5892 you do not know that kid so don’t be spreading bullshit lies. Tf are you First Take?
@@keithkelso9872 no tf he wasn’t💀 he was born January 28th 2004, I was born January 16th 2004 and just graduated highschool this year.
How tf was he old for his grade when he wasn’t even eligible for this year draft. Y’all need to use that thing we call a brain
So he didnt leave college? Whats the dumb click bait title for?
My parents ruined my career too
C'mon young blood are u ok??
hes from yipsilanti he wants to play at home chill out
He got a lot to work in terms of nba readiness he look awful at best in year one with memphis. I guess his handlers are making bad decisions for him such a pity for this kid. He will be just another washed kid if dis persist
Julian Newman effect
not the clickbait man…dont do that fr
Sounds like Julian Newman situation to me but instead he might make it 🤔
