Arkansas transfer Khalif Battle narrowing down his choices

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Arkansas transfer Khalif Battle is narrowing down his choices and closing in on a decision.

The 6-foot-5 guard from Edison, N.J. is currently visiting Gonzaga after tripping to Villanova earlier this week, a source told ZAGSBLOG.

“I would say those schools are pretty high,” the source said.

Battle also visited TCU and Arizona State, while other schools continue to reach out after the portal closed on Wednesday.

Battle averaged 14.8 points and 3.3 rebounds last season while shooting 41% from the field and 35% from deep under former Arkansas coach Eric Mussleman.

Musselman left to take over at USC, while Arkansas hired former Kentucky coach John Calipari to replace him.

Both coaches are now filling out their rosters.
