Justin Leon (JuCo) commits to LaTech

[DONW]

I looked up Leon's profile in high school and he was only 6-5, 175.

Leon looks like another Kyser in many ways which can be a good thing. They actually kind of look alike in the face and possibly body frame (though Kyser is a little taller and longer). I would expect their gameplay to be similar.

Still not the big inside player that has arguably been lacking in the recent past. I say arguably just because there has been 100+ wins in 4 seasons without one.

But does he have the tattoos?

Quality tattoos must not be as readily available in Arkansas and Oklahoma. However, Texas and Louisiana, need I say more?

I like that he was described as an intense player. My only question is why was he in juco?

He was 6'5 175 in high school. Maybe he couldn't shoot the ball well enough to be a guard at a D1 school. Maybe he didn't have the grades to enter a D1 program. Either way, he's 6'8 and averaged 21 and 15 a game last year. Seems ready to go.

If it hadn't been for us, all 3 players from the winningest class in Tech history would've probably gone the JUCO route. You just never know how things are going to turn out. Despite the huge amount of teams in D1, great guys still get overlooked.

White has an eye for talent has gotten some good commitments since arriving here.

This guy sounds like a gem.

I would love to have one big with some lbs's but we will play a style that fits what we have.

Yep. I'm good to go with it.

I think Mike White is putting a premium on players that can SCORE now.

I'm good with that. A win is a win whether it is by a score of 40 to 39, or 121 to 120.
