15-year-old hoops phenom Emoni Bates could play in college -- if top schools ever recruit him

Posted Jul 16, 2019
Emoni Bates is 6 feet, 8 1/2 inches tall and 186 pounds. That's abnormally lofty for someone who won't turn 16 for another 6 1/2 months. He might be better than half the players in college, too. But will college basketball ever get Emoni Bates? He's tracking to graduate high school in 2022. If that happens, Bates could be the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft. (CBS Sports)
