Kentucky, Michigan and Florida are among the other schools in the mix for the 2016 guards who are friends. --- UConn coach[B] Kevin Ollie[/B] has made the 6-foot-6 Battle a priority, [URL='http://zagsblog.com/articles/recruiting-roundup-ollie-makes-battle-a-priority-groce-visits-bragg-ndahiro-taking-visits/']as we reported in April[/URL]. Four days after winning the NCAA championship in Arlington, Texas, Ollie was at Gill St. Bernard’s in Gladstone, N.J., to meet with Battle and show his level of commitment. “It was really special because at the beginning of week, on Monday, our family watched KO and the hungry Huskies cut down the nets,” [B]Gary Battle,[/B] Tyus’ father, told SNY.tv then. “It was without a doubt a shining moment for Tyus and me. He showed us that Ty is a priority and that means a lot.” Ollie spent time on campus and took pictures with players and coaches, just as he did at Roselle Catholic. “He absolutely loves the kid!” Gill coach [B]Mergin Sina[/B] told SNY.tv. “Tyus has talent, work ethic and most important Tyus is a high character kid! You win national championships with kids like that. Tyus is the best player regardless of class in the state and in my opinion will end up being the best player in America very soon. Kid gets better every day. He is a very high priority for UConn.” [/QUOTE]
