Between2Halls Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Is it ok to have a thread about him following his decommit from Texas? I know IU is in his list of schools that have contacted him. https://247sports.com/player/tamar-bates-46086331/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's that good. 44% from three. 58% from the field overall. 88% free throws. He is thoughtful, articulate, and determined. Really like him.

Popular Post slojoe Posted April 10, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 I agree with his coach. He is underrated. I also noted that his coach said they don't "recruit" players but told them they believe in them. He's a lefty who can use either hand at the basket. He has a very quick first step. He's very aware of the whole court. In one play where he catches the ball at the free throw line, you can see him scanning the floor before he goes up with a shot. He's also a good defender. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between2Halls Posted April 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Jerry Meyer on Bates: First of all, Tamar Bates is a highly intriguing prospect to me. I don’t know if he will end up a five-star in the 2021 247Sports Composite, but I think he will at least end up close. He is a serious competitor who plays with a mental and physical edge. His instincts and burst of athleticism make him a dangerous defender and with his length he will be a versatile defender. Offensively, he seeks out and attacks his shot from deep. Bates can also attack either direction and can change direction on the spot. There is a jagged wiggle to his game and also an ability to score through contact despite his slender frame. His recruitment is still much in flux. Shaka Smart, who had signed Bates at Texas, is in a scholarship bind at Marquette. I have heard Oklahoma State and Missouri floating around. But again, I get the feeling that his recruitment is a good distance from settled. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 I'll cut and paste from Mike's article. “Bates is a high scoring guard who can attack the rim, bomb away from deep and he’s one of the top perimeter defenders in the class of 2021,” wrote 247Sports Director of Recruiting Eric Bossi a couple weeks ago when Bates asked for his release from Texas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
