Rumor: Bates is gone.

I was told this at the Michigan BTT game by an IU senior whose friend works with Rabby. His parents are very unhappy. Hopefully this doesn't happen because I want him back on this team next year

I’m not buying this. His entire family seems to love IU.

Bates to Rabby to friend who works with Rabby to IU senior to you.....at this point that would be a fourth hand rumor.  Not saying I know anything about it but I hear third or fourth hand rumors all the time that don't happen and aren't true.

Everything you said is factual. I want to believe Bates stays, but it would not surprise me if he did leave since he hardly got any run towards the end of the season when Stewart/Kopp struggled badly

I'd be ecstatic if Bates doesn't leave. Since the season has ended, I figured I'd share the info that was relayed to me at the Michigan BTT game. Here's hoping the rumor isn't true

For a guy leaving he sure looked very involved while on the bench.

Hovapido said: it would certainly line up with his approximately 39 seconds of court time in the last 5 games/8 days (not an e!) stretch. We’ll see. I definitely hope it isn’t true also. (quote option not working for me).

Five game stretch in the last 8 games he went DNP, 1 min, 3 min, 11 minutes against Wyoming, 17 minutes tonight.

Could be he sees the loyalty woody gives upperclassman and knows his time is next and that he can strew  up and still get 37 min moving forward.    His parents were on an IU podcast live after the win against Michigan when he got 0 min.   They took to the time to be on the podcast after and win and talk about how exited they were about the win and talked about their son not getting in.

Hyperbole is my brand. 
 

Edit: I would’ve never guessed he had 17 minutes tonight, but I also turned it off at the under-16 to watch the good games.

Would definitely not be ideal. If he put in the work this off-season he could be a major piece moving forward. I guess the rumors of 5 players being suspended for the Northwestern was written off and lots of jokes made until it was true too though.

Would be an epic loss. Geronimo and abates are our best returning players. I’d be pissed too, watching Stewart and Kopp stink it up for 25 straight games and not stealing their run. Granted in his limited minutes he was missing lots of shots, but the potential is enormous.

His mom just tweeted on to next year and great not to be in the NIT. I’m going to take that rumor for a grain of salt 

Maybe if we lost that Michigan game and went NIT, things change? Could see that being the case.
