2021 shooting guard Tamar Bates has new schools joining his recruitment, and Villanova is one of them, he told Stockrisers.
Bates is listed at 6-4 and is from Kansas City, Kansas. He is currently ranked 94th in his class by Rivals and has seen is standing improve some lately.
Approximately 20 schools have been involved so far, and Bates told Stockrisers that Creighton, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Northwestern, North Carolina, Colorado, Alabama, Oklahoma, Oregon, Michigan, and Villanova have been most heavily involved.
Bates is considered a strong Kansas lean at this point, but it appears he would like to take some visits before cutting his list and ultimately making a decision, so there's not likely to be much movement on that front in the near future. I'd expect Nova to try to conduct a virtual visit sometime soon, and at the very least this is another name to keep an eye on in a 2021 class that should be a busy one for the Cats.
