Duke is the latest school to jump into the Tyus Battle Sweepstakes. Gary Battle said he has been talking regularly with Duke associate head coach Steve Wojciechowski about his son, a 6-foot-5 guard from Gladstone (N.J.) Gill St. Bernard’s ranked No. 11 in the Class of 2016 by Rivals.
Pitt got a commitment from 6-foot-4 guard Mustapha Heron, but fans will have to wait a few years to see him play at the Petersen Center as he is only a sophomore (class of 2016) at Sacred Heart in Waterbury Connecticut.
Donovan Mitchell, a 6-foot-3 2015 combo guard from Brewster (N.H.) Academy, took in the UConn game on Saturday and watched as the No. 15 Huskies routed Eastern Washington, 82-65, in Bridgeport, Conn.
Tyus Battle’s freshman year on the Gill St. Bernard’s boys basketball team was most notable for what he didn’t do. He didn’t force things, show off or alienate older teammates.
One of Indiana’s top recruiting priorities in the class of 2016, Gill St. Bernard’s School (N.J.) guard Tyus Battle, was among the elite players who participated at the USA Basketball developmental national team mini-camp in Colorado Springs, Colorado on Oct. 5-6.
2016 recruit Tyus Battle was one of the prospects that invaded Ohio’s capital city. Battle is a five-star shooting guard out of New Jersey. The 6-4 170 pound sophomore will probably remember his trip to Columbus for the rest of his life.
