hhcmatt 13,841 Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 If you walk outside in the morning, the air is crisp and you can feel that members of the Nebraska basketball team are ready to transfer out to open up scholarship opportunities. It's Transfer SZN. Battle also happens to be from the Minneapolis area Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayschool 3,743 Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 6-7 lefty with a little heft, but his offensive game is cutting and shooting from deep, not inside, though he's a decent rebounder as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hhcmatt 13,841 Posted March 9 Author Report Share Posted March 9 Battle is kind of interesting in that his freshman year he was basically a 3pt specialist and in the 15 games he played in this year (GW's season was limited) he took half from 2, half from 3. I think it was a combination of GW needing him to takes guy off the dribble and/or him having worked on that ability. Some of this might be his role or the offense but his assist % numbers make Teddy Allen look like Steve Nash; this dude was either shooting or tossing it around the perimeter when he touched the ball.

Swan88 1,508 Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Here's guessing we will see a bajillion (give-or-take a few hundred million) of these "heard from Nebraska" texts over the coming months. What would be interesting to know is this: do we already have some transfer targets mostly nailed down through back-channel discussions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope he doesn't go anyplace where Doug Gottlieb calls games or he might get labelled a punk. I remember watching his dad, who was an outstanding player, play a couple times at GW. I made a point of it since he was 5'4" and when he was a junior had a 7'1" teammate - not quite Muggsy and Manute, but close. (Ironically, they lost in the NCAA tournament that year to Oklahoma State and Doug Gottlieb. Maybe that's where Gottlieb's hatred of short people began.)
