I doubt Will would have been very good as a 17 year old freshman.

A lot of people here continue to ignore the fact he is supposed to be in High School. Have we ever had a 17 year old freshman before him? I imagine he is the youngest tiger in school history.

Lay off the kid and let him grow.

Will was a much better ball handler. I think Emoni can be a better shooter

Yes, comparatively as just freshman. But I think Will was a 19 year old freshman and Bates is a 17 year old freshman. Bates will be just as good with the ball in two years as Will was.

Will was old for a freshman he was held back so he could be in the same class as his brother. Hopefully we can get 2 years out of Emoni but at this point I doubt it. But I don’t think another year is going to make him a much better ball handler. It sure didn’t help Lomax or Harris. They make the same mistakes they made 3 years ago

You think the talent level is the same between those? People have ceilings. Alo pretty much reached his in high school. I disagree on Harris, he has progressed a lot.

That is like saying nobody can learn to build a skyscraper because your local architect cant.
