Tyus Battle - St. Joseph Guard - Highlights/Interview

July 21, 2018
Tyus Battle emerged as one of New Jersey's top basketball prospects after transferring to St. Joseph High School in Metuchen, committing to Syracuse.

New Jersey has produced its share of NBA talent, and Tyus Battle is next in line. The 6-foot-5 guard transferred from Gill St. Bernard's to St. Joseph High School in Metuchen for his senior season—the same program that developed Karl-Anthony Towns.

Battle's versatility sets him apart: he can score from anywhere, defend multiple positions, and run an offense. Ranked among the top 30 prospects nationally, he committed to Syracuse University after initially pledging to Michigan. The Garden State's powerhouse programs like St. Anthony's and St. Pat's await, but Battle has proven he can compete against anyone.
