Per Marcus:
Jamison Battle would walk the halls of his high school sometimes with a basketball in one hand and a musical instrument in the other.
The saxophone was his favorite. One still sits under Battle's bed at home today.
The Gophers forward has the shooting range of an NBA three-point marksman, but the 6-7, 220-pound junior is also defined by who he is off the court. His mom, Darcy Goede, made sure of it.
"I tried to make him well-rounded growing up because I didn't want sports to be the focus," she said.
