Battie on the Longhorns

In a previous interview with Rivals, Dawson Battie discussed Texas’ recruitment of him.

“I like Coach (Sean) Miller. He’s a really cool guy. I talk a lot with Coach (Ulrich) Maligi, too. He’s an assistant, and he’s really cool, too. They’re really great people. I think they’ve gone up to St. Mark’s a couple of times to see me, they watched me like, scrimmage and stuff, so I really appreciate them for that. They’re a home-state school, a good school. A lot of people from my school go there for academics, so I kind of know the environment. I’ve been up there a couple of times, so, yeah, they’re definitely in a run for it.”

What he’s looking for in a school

In that same previous interview with Rivals, Battie discussed what he needs in his future college.

“Trust is a big thing with me. I feel like trustworthiness is one of the big things nowadays, especially with the portal and all going on. So, I definitely want to be able to trust the coaching staff, and be able to trust the coach himself. Play style is a big thing for me, the environment for sure, the atmosphere. will be a big deal. And then the education part of it.”

More on Battie

Rivals’ National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw evaluated Battie over the summer and had this to say about him:

Dawson Battie made his presence known scoring 29 points in a head-to-head matchup with top-10 Lincoln Cosby on Saturday. Already listed at a lengthy 6-foot-8, he has natural explosive pop in his game. The shot making is what stood out this weekend, making five threes and knocking down a couple two and three dribble pull ups. Still in the 2027 class with a handful of high major offers, he is one that could see his stock continue to rise as he cleans up his balance points and footwork. There are a lot of natural traits here that they look for at the highest levels.
