Villanova Wildcats

There will undoubtedly be some production to replace in Villanova next year, with the pending departures of Collin Gillespie and Jermaine Samuels. But the Final Four expectations will always be there with Jay Wright and there’s a need to reach for them.

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl emerged as a legitimate star this season. Positing Battle side-by-side with Robinson-Earl could make for the best wing pairing not just in the Big East, but in the country.

Wright is bringing in one of the best-recruiting classes in the nation, led by Trey Patterson and Jordan Longino. Battle could be the missing piece to complete his team.

Cincinnati Bearcats

The Cincinnati Bearcats disappointed all season, they made a sudden run to the AAC Championship before they ran into the Houston Cougars. The Bearcats are closer to NCAA Tournament territory than they appeared.

Jeremiah Davenport took a big step forward this year and will be back. So will transfer David DeJulius and Mika Adams-Woods, neither of who lived up to billing this year but could next year. That’s a solid three-guard rotation to start with.

What Cincinnati desperately lacks going into next season are strong wings. Battle would provide instant credibility to that unit for the Bearcats and move them back into the AAC’s upper echelon
