I have been reading and watching anything on Bates I can find. My god, I am sold.
I have mentioned in past threads how I think the emotional makeup/drive of a kid is by far the most important thing to look for in a recruit. Tamar, dare I say, has the most similar makeup to Vic that we have seen since.
Forget the basketball part of it, is the kid willing to crawl through nails to get what he wants? Tamar is. The way he talks, the passion and conviction in his voice. Damn.
He will 100% be starting for IU this season, and folks enjoy him while you can. He is going to be in the nba very soon. Greater than 50% chance he is a one and done.
We are gonna be really good this year.
