Coach Painter has recently been showing interest in Evan Battey, a big bodied Power Forward from Southern California.
Coach Painter is continuously on the trail trying to replenish the front court with his 2017 class. He has searched high and low, in state and out of state recruiting big name guys such as Jaren Jackson, Xavier Tillman and Malik Williams. But, as we know we don't always land the big name recruits.
Enter Evan Battey, a 6'7" 280-pound power forward that shows a unique skill set in his recruiting videos. Currently, rivals.com has him ranked 140 in the top 150, but he does not have any big school offers, with his offers being: Nevada, San Jose State, San Diego, Utah State and Fresno State.
