On that note, I didnāt see Isaiah Todd play last night for U-M. Has he been on the bench all year?

I hear Michigan has some other players soaking up the playing time: Josh Christopher, Adam Miller, and Jaden Springer.
Sucks we havenāt been able to see Todd

Which is the worse BQ beat reporter hot take:
- Emoni Bates may not attend MSU
- Juwan Howard may have used the worldās thinnest cell phone from the bench during the OSU game

Nike keeps screwing Michigan teams over.
First with Adam Miller, now with Emoni Bates

The RCMB reaction to BQās article wasnāt as bad as I expected, but the twitter reaction was pure comedy. At least BQ probably knows to expect that

You guys have made me a believer. Iāve gotta get a copy and read it. Is it on The Athletic?

Thatās good to hear. Putting my dislike of State aside, I grew up in SE Michigan and lived in Ann Arbor for eight years. Hearing about Emoni as the ānext big thingā for so long definitely had me rooting for the kid long before he committed to State. For selfish reasons on multiple levels I hope he doesnāt end up playing there. Regardless I hope he ends up being a superstar (just not while wearing green and white).

Agreed. Itās also a potential downside to the subscription model. Hard to tell people to just āread the pieceā when the vast majority of the haters on Twitter arenāt subscribers. Obviously making the content available for free wouldnāt stop the spread of BS either, but I wonder if it makes it a little harder to combat misinformation/garbage narratives in this case.
if one of my kids has the potential to earn $100M as a professional athlete I assure you a college education will not be my primary priority for them. You can go to college at any point. You only get one shot to maximize your athletic and earning potential. Even great students need to worry most about their sport at that point.

Iām not talking about him going to college or not after high school but what his dadās doing right now with him.
Heād be the #1 pick in 2023 if he didnāt play another high school game. Ypsi Prep is not a necessary step in his development. It seems more about his dad wanting total control over the last two years of his sonās pre-NBA life.
And if the article is true and his shooting numbers are that poor, it sounds like the coaching heās getting right now is pretty bad.

Hope donāt happen but if Michigan were to really struggle to close out season guaranteed a 1 seed in NCCA tourney? Think they have done enough and other teams below have not been impressive.
if he went to MSU his dead grandmother would convince him to stay for 4 years and cost him $100M of career earnings.
If I was Bates dad I would want to control who helped develop his talent. There is no world in which I would want Izzo to be a part of that no matter how much my kid loved the idea of playing for MSU. Go pro and let professionals develop him.
