Tyus' last few games:
27 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assist, 2 steals, 1 block in a win over South Brunswick
19 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block in 68-60 loss to Franklin Howard's alma mater
14 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 steals, 4 blocks in a win over Perth Amboy
20 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals in a (wait for it) 44 point steamrolling of North Brunswick
Averages to date: 19.9 ppg, 7.9 rebounds per, 4 dimes, 2.7 steals, 1.5 blocks. Remember: this is only what's recorded. A few games missed some of the complete statistics (blocks, steals, assists, etc).
The numbers are thimply ludicrith.

As if their recent 44 point victory wasn't enough, St Joseph Met. will do ya one better! A 45 point win at Piscataway yesterday night. Doing his usual thing, Kid Mamba busts 23 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

TB drops 16 in a close one at Old Bridge.
Stats are incomplete, so you know he had 2 blocks again.
He scored a big bucket (and one) that put Joe's ahead for good late in the 4th quarter.

If you go to that Site that Tee referenced, you can see some extended highlights. Fun to see Tyus in game action.

He isn't on preliminary rosters. There will be more added soon. Plus, Roberson, Lydon & Diagne didn't make the national game but did play in the regional games. I don't put a whole lot of stock in selections of all-star teams. It's a popularity contest.

I agree, but I'm just wondering why there seems to be a lack of popularity or recognition with Battle currently, seems like he's just killing it this season at a well known high school level and is committed to a high profile basketball school like Syracuse... why no shine?

Had to get you up to 500 likes, my friend. Just didn't feel right at 497, you know? I don't even know what I'm liking half the time. temery can we make a hot key/accelerator for that? I suggest Ctrl+L and if it's already in use, Shift+Ctrl+L (I guess).

Unfortunately the injury throughout his Junior year has killed his national buzz. Junior/rising Senior, spring and summer circuit is where the players make their stance one last time to leave an impression on scouts. Battle was considered a top 15 prospect before that, but obviously couldn't showcase his talents due to the injuries. Now it's basically out of site, out of mind to most. I don't think it's a bad thing for SU, because now he's a little bit under the radar and doesn't have to deal with unrealistic expectations coming in as a freshman. He has a chance tonight to regain his nationally buzz against top 15 Duke commit Frank Jackson, on ESPNU tonight at 11.

Battle scored his team's first three field goals (1 was a three) and gave them an early lead. Now down 3. He has a block and either another block or steal, camera missed it but they commented on it.

Kid's an absolute stud. Not sure if he's a point guard, but he's a lead guard and can make plays. Also has the potential to be a plus defender at the top of the zone, and can rebound well at that spot.
Cannot wait for him to don Orange. Him & Malachi in the backcourt next year... wow.

Just had an amazing spin move in the open court, scored and was fouled but missed the free throw. He has 9 points, still 1 minute left in the 1st quarter. Just sat with two fouls, one was a charge that the announcers questioned. It was close but I thought the defender got there with time to spare. Anyway, Frank Jackson played very well and Lone Peak is up 2, thanks to him. Slashed, drove and dunked a few times. But Tyus is keeping St Joe's in it. Got the shooter's touch on the first three including the deep ball. Neither team has size for high school, but good guard play all around. Battle has definitely played the point a bunch of times already (but you are right, not a pure point guard). Brought up the ball, ran the offense from the top of the key.

With Battle on the bench, St. Joe's scores a bucket but doesn't get back on defense, fouls Jackson. Lead is now 7 for Lone Peak so they will be forced to put Tyus in soon to stop the bleeding.
And on cue, checks back in.

Down 9 now. Battle didn't hustle down the court and another clean up play for Jackson and Lone Peak. But, he just posted up and scored a high percentage shot. I think Battle seems to have more talent, but Jackson is plenty talented and playing harder than anyone else on the court. Doesn't hurt that his teammates are now drilling deep threes. Lone Peak pulling away behind a large and raucous crowd. Pretty loud for a high school game!

There's a reason Ole Miss isn't very good in men's basketball.

He's 2-13 right now with some inexplicable shots.
I think he's modeled his game after Marshall Henderson

Battle with two assists in a row, now St. Joe's within 5 points, plenty of time, 3rd quarter. One was coast to coast, dribbling left hand all the way and one handed pass to his teammate.
