Evan Battey set to announce, Colorado among favorites
BASKETBALL NEWS: Following a 22-12 record during the 2015-2016 season under Head Coach Tad Boyle and earning a trip to the NCAA Tournament, the Buffs Men’s Basketball Team have a ton of momentum entering this coming season. The excitement and promise shown by Colorado has transitioned well with big time recruits.
In early September the Buffs landed Tyler Bey and D’Shawn Schwartz. Bey a 6-foot-7 Rivals.com 4-Star Power Forward out of Los Angeles, California, Schwartz a 6-foot-6 Rivals.com 4-Star Shooting Guard out of Colorado, Springs.
Today, 6-foot-7, 275 pound Evan Battey out Villa Park, California plans to make his commitment, Colorado we hear is a front runner.
Battey visited Colorado early in September the same time as Bey and Schwartz and though he has visited Purdue and Miami recently, Rivals.com’s Basketball Analyst Eric Bossi feels Colorado has a great shot to land another big-time hoops target today.

READ: Colorado lands pari of four-stars in D'Shawn Schwartz and Tyler Bey
Nobody in college basketball is having a better day than Colorado coach Tad Boyle. He and the Buffaloes landed their top two targets in four-star prospects D'Shawn Schwartz and Tyler Bey.
A 6-foot-6 wing from Colorado Springs (Colo.) Sand Creek who ranks No. 64 overall in the 2017 Rivals150, Schwartz has long been considered a lean to the Buffs but the tough and athletic wing made things official on Saturday.
"They've been the most consistent, they've recruited me the longest," Schwartz told Rivals.com. "It was a no brainer."
