Former Section II stars Talor Battle and Jimmer Fredette will return to their respective universities for their senior season after testing the NBA Draft waters.

Battle, a former Bishop Maginn star and The Record's 2006-07 Boys Basketball Player of the Year, announced Saturday that he will return for his senior season at Penn State University.

Battle was one of the top point guard in the Big 10 last season, averaging 18.5 points per game.

Battle's younger brother Taran Buie, also a former start at Bishop Maginn, will begin his collegiate career next season with the Nittany Lions.

Fredette will return to Brigham Young for his senior season.

The Glens Falls native injured his quad in a workout with the New York Knicks on Friday.

Fredette and the Cougars will play a regular season game against the University of Vermont at the Glens Falls Civic Center during the 2010-11 season.

Both players had until Saturday's 5 p.m. deadline to withdraw their names or remain eligible for the 2010 NBA Draft, which takes place June 24 at Madison Square Garden.
