A prospective target of many college basketball recruiters, he committed to the 2016–17 Michigan Wolverines in May 2015, but reopened his recruitment in June and committed to Syracuse in July. ==Early life== A native of the Edison/Gladstone, New Jersey area,〔 Battle first became a nationally ranked basketball player in sixth grade. He played for Gill St. Bernard's School freshman, sophomore, and junior year but then transferred to Saint Joseph(Metuchen) High School to follow in the footsteps of former standouts of the school Jay Williams and Karl-Anthony Towns.

He returned to the lineup at the end of January 2015. He only appeared in 9 games during his junior season, as a result. His average fell to 16.9 points in his limited junior campaign.〔 Michigan made Battle a scholarship offer in June 2014. Kentucky head coach John Calipari visited Battle on Halloween 2014.〔 After receiving 24 scholarship offers, Battle narrowed his list of schools to 11 on November 3, 2014, via Twitter: Connecticut, Syracuse, Duke, Ohio State, Louisville, Florida, Kentucky, Miami, Villanova, Virginia, and Michigan.
