Tyus Battle hasn't given much insight on why he backed out of his commitment to Michigan's basketball program earlier this month.

Last week, Battle's father, Gary, told MLivethat his son -- a five-star shooting guard from New Jersey -- would not be making any comments on his recruitment until he's figured everything out.

Apparently something's changed, though it doesn't appear Battle's any closer to making a decision about his playing future.

The 6-foot-6, 195-pound Battle spoke briefly with Scout.com's Evan Daniels about his now open recruitment. He didn't offer much, but did say he's open to pretty much anything at this point.

"My whole family just wanted to look at other schools and other options," Battle said. "I still really like Michigan a lot. I'm just looking at other schools and other options.

"Everything is open."

At this point, he says his original final group of Michigan, Syracuse, Louisville, Duke and Ohio State are options he's looking at.

Battle originally gave a verbal commitment to Michigan on May 11, shortly after making another unofficial visit to campus. At the time of his pledge, his father explained how surprised he was at his son's quick decision, and also explained how he originally thought the five-star guard would end up at Duke, Syracuse or Louisville.

In addition, Battle himself told MLive shortly after his pledge that part of the reason why he made a quick call to commit was because "I didn't want someone else taking my scholarship."

Battle made another unofficial visit to Syracuse last weekend, a trip some analysts believed would end with a commitment to the Orange. That didn't happen, though, and Battle told Scout he's not sure when he'll make up his mind about a school again.

With Battle's scholarship now available, Michigan hosted four-star wing Jarron Cumberland for an unofficial visit earlier this week. It's unclear if Michigan coach John Beilein made a formal offer.
