After an impressive weekend at the Phenom Hoops Showcase, Bryant made it clear that he is focused on three programs: Syracuse, Indiana and Missouri. The 6-10, 245 pound big man has visited all three schools and is sure that he will wait until the spring before announcing his decision.

Five-star guard Tyus Battle (Edison, NJ/Gill St. Bernard): Battle visited Michigan over the summer with Thornton, and is believed to have relatively high interest in the Wolverines.

Like Thornton, Battle is a potential one-and-done player in college and will be an immediate impact type player for whatever school he chooses. Michigan shouldn’t be considered a long shot per se, but chances are he ends up somewhere else.
