Guard Battle commits to DeChellis' program
New York state high school basketball standout Talor Battle, from Albany, N.Y., has signed a national letter of intent to play for Penn State and fourth-year head coach Ed DeChellis. Rated the No. 17 point-guard recruit in the nation by Rivals.com, the 5-11, 160-pounder made the official announcement at a press conference yesterday at Bishop Maginn High School in Albany, N.Y.
Battle averaged 29.4 points, 5.4 assists and 5.9 rebounds a game in his junior season as he led New York's Section II in scoring and posted two games with 40 or more points. A deadly perimeter shooter, he finished second in the section with 82 three-pointers while hitting nearly 40 percent from behind the arc.
He was named the Big 10 Division Player-of-the-Year and earned multiple Player-of-the-Year honors from the Troy Record, Schenectady Gazzette and Fox 23 Sports. Rivals rated him No. 111 among the top recruits in the nation and Scout.com listed him No. 25 among point-guard recruits. He also garnered honorable-mention on the 2006-07 Street & Smith's Boys High School All-America Team and was invited to the Nike All-America Camp last summer.
Penn State has one scholarship remaining for the class of 2011. The early signing period began today and runs through Nov. 15.
