Battle was a top-100 recruit coming out of Trenton Catholic in New Jersey and began his college career at Butler, playing a lone season with the Bulldogs before transferring to Temple. Battle struggled with injury during part of his three-year tenure with the Owls but also proved his upside as he averaged 17.9 points in 2022-23.
Last offseason, Battle transferred once again, joining Arkansas and becoming a key piece of the Razorbacks’ backcourt as he averaged 14.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists while shooting 40.6% from the field and over 35% from 3-point range.
The talented 6-foot-5 shooting guard will now look to play for his fourth program in six seasons after entering the portal and should have plenty of options going forward including following his former coach or returning close to home. Here are five potential landing spots for Battle.
