Talked with a source close to the Battle recruitment and a program source today:
The family was shocked at the whole situation. Mom was very upset with everything, but I was told that Taver Johnson (OSU CB coach) has eased a lot of her initial concerns. They are going to wait and see how things play out before making any rash decisions on decommitting from the program. Urban Meyer was one of the main factors in Jordan's commitment to OSU, as Meyer has been contacting him multiple times per week for the past few months.
The door has been opened a crack and I was told Battle is absolutely receptive to UM's overtures. Miami has been pushing VERY VERY hard. Things weren't handled the best last go-round, with UM not really pushing until May before Battle's June commitment to OSU; however, Battle is going to be a treated as a top priority similar to an Evan Neal, Mark-Antony Richards, or a Khris Bogle from here forward. It's all hands on deck.
OPINION
After talking to some involved, I'm confident in a Battle flip to UM if Meyer is no longer at OSU. If he stays, things will become more complicated and we'll have to see how things develop from there.
