Tyus Battle is the son of Gary Battle, a former All-American at New Haven and a 1,000 point scorer at Colonia High School back in the late ’80s. Battle is known for his nickname, “The Kid Mamba,” and has already drawn comparisons to Charlotte Bobcats rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, a fellow New Jersey native. Battle just added an offer from Indiana following his weekend visit to Bloomington for the Michigan game. Before that, he added offers from Villanova and UConn to go with offers from Cincinnati, Miami, Rhode Island, Rutgers, Seton Hall, SMU and Syracuse.
