What a shame. 🤠

 

[HawkCapt1912]

The check didn’t clear??

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

He's supposed to be near LeBron HS level, correct?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Well then he should come to Iowa so we can win a national championship.

"He would never willingly come to Iowa to play basketball for Fran"



Well then we should force him against his will to come to Iowa and play basketball so we can win a national championship.......

More like, Sparty takes ANOTHER hit! They lost another 5 start commit earlier this year before Bates..

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Go get him Fran

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Great. People will still watch. This is why nil is dumb.
if you want to talk to me about intellectual property I’ll listen.

He's more of a durantula

 

[Hawk_4shur]

Hmmmm, MSU loses 2 top commits? 🤔

Such a shame!

Can you imagine if this kid hooks up with Juwan and his bag of cash for a year? That could really be fun to watch...not talking hoops but the Sparty/Michigan side show!

Izzo is losing his touch, after screwing other programs for years. Going to be fun watching him suffer in mediocrity whining on the sideline.

And now they have to watch Michigan money up.. they just hit the transfer portal and pulled another top guard of it.. well I guess we have to watch it out too... 🤣😒

I mean there was never a chance he was going to play in college.

 

[hawkeyebob62]

I mean there was never a chance he was going to go to class while in college.

FIFY

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Of the top 10 players annually doesn't it seem likely that more of them will opt to go the pro route and avoid the pretense that they care at all about the student part of student-athlete?
I'm not so sure it would be any worse if these guys just bypass college and hit the pro circuit.

 

[Fan In Black]

I doubt he plays college ball anywhere

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

He's supposed to be near LeBron HS level, correct?

But with a brain?

 

[hawkeyebob62]

But with a brain?

LeYuan isn't dumb. He's just not as smart as he thinks, and tells everyone, he is.

 

[RocknRollface]

LeYuan isn't dumb. He's just not as smart as he thinks, and tells everyone, he is.

Lebron seems like a very insecure person who is obsessed with the way other perceive him.

I don't think any of his social justice stuff is sincere, its just a way to be fashionable in Hollywood and get attention.

Bates is re-classifying and is deciding between college (school has yet to be determined) and the G-League this year.
