Khalif Battle Transferring

I am sorry to see him go, think he has potential to be very good , and wish him well and much success at this next school.

 

Whatcha talking about.....Willis?

 

He did not get what he was looking for at Butler, perhaps he will find it at his next stop. I still say it will be at Rutgers or Syracuse.

 

LaVall quote from an updated Woods piece:

"Jordan said the parting with Battle was mutual. 'We support him. We want the best thing for him and wish him the best,' Jordan said."

 

Interesting

 

Does not surprise me

 

It is challenging in the short term to have standards that are non-negotiable. Almost always works out in the long run. Doesn't make it any less painful. I'll buy in that it was "mutual". All the best to Khalif at his next school.

 

Perhaps in couple of years he may become the player most of us thought he could be. The maturation process can be painful. His court awareness and basketball IQ can go nowhere but up after this past year.

 

Headed to Temple.

 

Says a lot.

 

Also about how other coaches probably gauged his talent level tbh

Wow. That’s transferring down. I was expecting a lateral move.

 

Let's put this to bed.

 

If the decision was indeed "mutual," then I guess a program of Temple's caliber makes sense.
