Khalif Battle, a standout guard from Arkansas, has committed to Gonzaga University after a highly productive season where he averaged 29.6 points and scored 42 points in one of his final games. Battle, who also averaged 14.8 points and shot 35.3% from 3 for the season, chose Gonzaga over other finalists including Villanova and Kansas State. His decision comes after a series of visits to potential schools, with Gonzaga being his final stop. This move is expected to bolster Gonzaga's roster, already projected to be one of the deepest under coach Mark Few. Battle's transfer is seen as a significant gain for Gonzaga, adding a top scorer to their lineup.
