Class of 2026 Gigi Battle (NJ) Offered

Parental home run right there. Well done.

With the NIL now a thing, wouldn't it seem that Ivy schools would now be able to compete a lot better if Alums are footing the bill for players?

That's a good question. Never thought about that. That seems to be logical.

Only a very small percentage of students pay full-price tuition to most Ivy League schools. The majority of students pay little to nothing.

That's true o79 but I have to think the alum have deep pockets and of course depending on how strong the player is academically, if the $ people want to build a team I'm sure they could make an Ivy very competitive to say the least.

I doubt the women’s program can afford her. It’s too bad.

Would love to see her in Orange!

 

[Dr. Bill]

Would love to see her in Orange!

We have been recruiting her for a very very long time! Her brother played here and did well, so there should be some affinity for the Cuse already with her and her family. Having said that, you already know what I am going to say about the issue in getting her commitment. I have been impressed with her game for several years now and I hope we are able to get her to come to the Cuse!

This is the type of player we would not lose in the past! I would put her at the top of my 2026 wish list if I were Syracuse. We lost a similar player this year from right in our backyard, one we had been recruiting for 3 years, only to lose out to an SEC school that came in late. We have two DME players on our roster this year, maybe they can help in recruiting, even though they didn't play with her...We will see...Let's Go Orange!!!!

Unless they find someone to replace the guy who gave money to keep Fair here her senior year, they will have a hard time recruiting good players.

In my estimation, she should be our top recruiting priority for 2026. We have been recruiting her since she was in the 7th or 8th grade! Her brother was a star here, her other brother considered the Cuse during his recruitment. No reason why we should not make her top group of schools before she commits. If we are not in her top group, then that would be a clear sign of the landscape issues that we find ourselves in. Will be watching this one closely!...Let's Go Orange!!!!!

Very well spoken young lady. Was hoping we’d hear something about her top college choice or choices that I sure hoped would be positive news.
