Class of 2016 PG Tyus Battle (NJ) Signed LOI

[OrangeXtreme]

That's a violation? How so?

Universities are NOT allowed to talk about recruits until AFTER they sign their LOI's.

See my post #1758, great minds. We must have been typing at the same time.

If we get Battle, it'll be interesting to see who gets Gilbert. It will be between Uconn and Louisville.

Edit: Forget it. I don't want to sidetrack the thread or upset any mods.

No worries - just didn't want the thread to devolve into an endless UConn back and forth.

Lville IMO. But yes that will be something to keep an eye on.

Agreed. The kid has "Louisville thorn in my side" written all over him.

Interesting article that posted recently on mgoblog. Apparently, Sam Webb, the Michigan insider at WTKA thinks that Battle may not have actually decommitted from Michigan, but actually may have originally committed to UM just to prevent Josh Langford (13th in ESPN 100) from taking his spot. Now he's doing his due diligence to Syracuse. Meanwhile, Langford has seemingly held off from committing to Michigan State as many expected this weekend.

Nevermind, Langford literally committed as I typed this post. lol

If Tyus comes here, hope Gilbert goes anywhere but an ACC School.

 

[OlsenRyan13]

With Langford committing to the Spartans, this could get real interesting real fast.

*mid major with more championships in the last 10 years than any other program

In the last 10 years they have 2, UNC, Florida and Duke all have 2.

Unless you're going back to 2004, which is more than 10 years. They are a great program regardless.

It's a bad sign for Mich that their source has had no contact with the Battle's since he decommitted.

No one has, though. The family isn't talking to anyone right now, from what I've read.

They were at SU and talking to them the last 3 days since the decommitt

Well, coaches yeah. I was thinking more media types.

If Coyle were to announce Battle's commitment during his introductory press conference, his legacy would be sealed from day 1!

Why did Coyle de-commit from Boise?

And the reason is .. they had guards (recently, Napier and Boatright, before them Walker) that were NCAA wrecking machines. They could hit the 3 or drive the lane at will. All they needed inside was some serviceable players to rebound and they would have been successful. However, in the last NC (2014), Daniels was great for them because of the attention drawn by Napier and Boatright.

Yes, it's looking like UM will wind up without a chair when the music stops.

I've been looking in my crystal ball, but all I see is orange...

Syracuse bball twitter reporting that the visit went "very well" but I would take that with a grain of salt coming from that account.

They're not the only ones saying it went "very well" but that's about the only thing anyone knows at this point. No other details have leaked.

Interesting article. It makes me think that we might be in for a long wait. It sounds like the family is being very careful.

Understandable, but this is an emotional roller coaster!
