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.


Go Gophers!!
 



Battle is a guard?
"The Gophers forward has the shooting range of an NBA three-point marksman"

Edit: I see you were looking at the headline, guess they wised up when writing the article : ) He's not a guard, but I heard he does stay at a Holiday Inn sometimes
