Manny Bates is one of the more improved players in the entire 2018 class over the past few months, and with how hard he works on the court, that shouldn’t come as a big surprise. His energy on both ends of the court is infectious. He’s a true rim protector who will let opponents know about it when he swats their shot. Offensively, he’s still raw, but his hands are much improved, and he’s a ferocious dunker. N.C. State’s Kevin Keatts watched him, as did assistants from Clemson, Georgetown, Georgia, Georgia Tech and South Carolina. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/mcdonald-s-awards-thursday-s-aau-super-showcase

NCSU and USC are pretty close to home...it will be a battle but I would love for the Hoyas to win this one.

"About a year or two ago, people really weren’t familiar with the name Immanuel Bates. Now, many high major programs are prioritizing the four-star big man and as his stock blew up this past July, he earned multiple high major offers. The Team Felton product has narrowed his list to seven programs as he broke down each school.
NC State: “Since they are losing all their post players this year, they want me to start from day one and have an impact from the start.”
Louisville: “Louisville told me that I will have to play immediately and I'll be playing on such a high scale that I will be getting that recognition just for playing for them.”
DePaul: “DePaul wants me to come in and be the man coming in along with Tyger Campbell and raise the program back up.”
GA Tech: “Georgia Tech wants me to come in and replace their current big man once he leaves this year and have the opportunity to start and be the man.”
South Carolina: “Pretty much the same as Georgia Tech, they want me to come in for their big man this year and have an impact as a freshman.”
Xavier: “Come in and be an impact player from the jump, being that they will only have one post player at the four (position) so I may play the five.”
Georgetown: “Told that I was their top priority as a post player, wanting me to have that impact on the defensive end and continue working on the offensive side.”
The 6-foot-9 big man stated he doesn’t have any official visits setup as of right now but plans to set them in late August or early September."

Interesting when he mentioned Gtown, he actually talked about his player development. The other schools playing time/being the man.

Sounds good. I hope he chooses Hoyas and doesn't draw it out with drama. We need some big horses, big dogs (great athletes) to augment what we have now. I think the team is headed in the right direction. I'm ready for a gear shift with some commitments!!!

It is clear that Immanuel Bates has been in the gym, putting in hard time to become Manny Bates. When we first saw him, he was an awkward big kid, now he is a well put together physical force. As we mentioned before, Bates is a high level shot blocker. While carrying a natural 7’5” wing span, he also has great timing to go along with high level explosion. Bates has put on 15 pounds of muscle over the last year, and that is still going. Offensively, Bates game has expanded as well. Last year, he was relegated as a short corner, rim running big man. Now he has expanded his game out to 15-18 feet. He is able to put it on the floor for a bounce to get open and is almost knock down with the 18 foot pick and pop shot. He is a completely different person. Make no mistake about it, Manny Bates is one of the elite shot blockers and paint protectors in the country. When it comes to late blooming big men, one of their biggest translatable factors is their shot blocking ability, Bates is going to be a good one. ESPN is on the right track as they have bumped up Bates to a clear 4-star prospect ranked #78 in the country. A ranking that he will still outplay moving forward. He has just narrowed his list to 7 schools, South Carolina, NC State, Louisville, Xavier, Depaul, Georgia Tech and Georgetown. He should be narrowing his list to 5 here in the next couple of weeks and then setting up his official visits. One thing is for sure, whichever school lands Bates will be getting a game changer, and one who will work to be 10 fold better by the time his college career ends. www.phenomhoopreport.com/news_article/show/826439?referrer_id=1555437

Bates has put on 15 pounds of muscle over the last year, and that is still going.
After his performance in the Phenom’s 2016 Feast of Champions Bates continued on his path, growing consistently at his own pace, we wrote “Young power forward that is still developing into his game but several big time programs are heading his way. In the loss, Bates had 10 points and was a rebounding machine, securing 12 rebounds and also blocking five shots. Bates continues to develop his overall game and you constantly see the flashes of a high major player in his play on the court.”

How do you make the visit an experience that leads to, "I'm signing with Georgetown!" That would be great! Keep hope alive.

I'm hoping we're successful. Netting him could be a nice anchor for the group of players being recruited. Keep hope alive!
