High school class of 2024 recruit Anthony Batson signed with Stanford on Tuesday, according to a press release by the school. A six-foot-three guard from Notre Dame Preparatory School in Scottsdale, Ariz., Batson averaged 22.1 points per game and 6.3 rebounds his senior year of high school. He also shot 62% from the field and over 45% from beyond the arc this past season.
“Anthony Batson is a welcomed addition to our program. He has always had a strong desire from an early age to be at Stanford,�� said Stanford head coach Kyle Smith.
Batson chose Stanford over Arizona State, Colorado State, Nevada and Rice, where he was previously commited.
“Anthony is a dynamic scorer. He makes threes and possesses an athletic burst which enables him to play at and above the rim,” Smith said. “His length and explosiveness should provide us with a defensive playmaker on the perimeter as well.”
The Cardinal’s 2024 recruiting class now includes four players: Batson, six-foot-seven Evan Stinson, six-foot-eight Donavin Young and six-foot-11 Tallis Toure.
