The basics
Battie's uncle Tony Battie was the No. 5 pick in the 1997 NBA Draft, his father Derrick played at Temple, and his brother Dillon plays at Temple now, per 247Sports. Listed weight varies widely, from 190 (ESPN) to 230 pounds (247Sports). Listed as a PF at Saint Mark's School, and he appears on the Texas board. Status: uncommitted.
The boards
247Sports' Adam Finkelstein called him one of the more versatile forwards in the class, with a 6-foot-11 wingspan that creates mismatches and lineup flexibility, while noting he can turn inefficient when pressing to prove himself and projects best as a two-way connector.
Production
247Sports reported roughly 15 points and 10 rebounds a game on the Pro16 circuit with 30 percent three-point shooting on more than four attempts a game. Babcock Hoops logged individual games of 23, 24, and 30 points on the travel circuit.
The recruitment
ESPN lists 18 offers including Texas, Kentucky, Stanford, Virginia, Texas A&M, and Houston. 247Sports reported visits to Nebraska, SMU, and Kentucky. Nothing is decided. He is uncommitted.
