Congrats to Tri. Good luck. I hope it works out for him.

Good luck and best wishes, Mr. Batten. Thank you for giving the Monarchs all you had during some trying times.

I'm excited to see how Batten performs in the ACC.

Good luck Batten!

The BC Eagles is a nice place for Batten to finish out his college career. Good luck to Tri!

Good luck...rooting for BC this year....

Good luck Batten! Help BC beat the Cavaliers and Hokies! I will miss hearing the announcer say "DIMITRI BATTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNN!"

Boston is an amazing city, good for Batten!

so will he be getting a scholarship for the duration of his masters degree or just his season of eligibility? or no scholarship at all?

It's just for one season...it has nothing to do with the length of the program you're in.

Very interesting. Pretty cool for him. BC not exactly a powerhouse, but ACC is cool. I'll be watching.

It will be interesting to see how he fits in....UVa watch out!!!

Hearing he has to actually graduate this summer, before he can head up there. Is in class right now apparently.

Good kid, hope it works out for him.

There are pics of him graduating.

That's just the commencement ceremony. I was in the same ceremony with him. You can walk, but not have finished all of your classes. I believe it's based on how many credits you have. So he's finishing his classes this summer so he can get his degree. I'm doing the same thing.

Holy crap, you know what, I did that too. Completely forgot.

I'll tell you what, I didn't exactly assert myself in that physics class.

To play immediately as a graduate student he had some work to do this summer. Sounds like the story came out early.

That's interesting. I wonder how much, if any, he will get to play there. Best of luck to him.

I would think he would get an opportunity to play quite a bit. BC has a new coach. A number of players have left the program and they have a chance to play a D-1 player who has experience. Hopefully Batten can make a good impression early and earn some minutes.
