Leonard, an Illinois commit, is an intriguing prospect for the next level. He has budding skills and savvy beyond his years. Once his frame fills out, he should be one of the most talented college prospects. His athleticism is tremendous, and despite being 6-10, he is comfortable out on the perimeter. He handles the ball well for his size, can knock down the jump shot at the elbow and he makes high-level passes, both out on the perimeter and in the paint. He has quick wrists, and his vision is that of a point guard.
So sayeth the worldwide leader, thus it must be true. A tall center you can shoot from a small town in Illinois probably makes us all think of Tis, But Paul Klee has said recently that Leonard's game is much much different than Tisdale's, as in aggressive, much more aggressive.
Leonard is fast becoming one of the most valuable recruits that Bruce has gotten. Head and Richmond are great, but throw in Leonard and next years class could be block buster.
