With offers from SMU, Rice and Texas A&M, this is my favorite signing so far from the staff. Great job!!

Nothing here about SMU, Rice, or Texas A&M, but we did steal one away from Mike Minyard's UMass.

247 and his twitter both list those amongst other schools!!

With NIL culture it will be nice when he actually signs

I didn't see it on his Twitter account, but with a 7.7/3.3/1.3 stat line and playing less than 20 minutes per game this past summer, I don't know if the ACC/SEC tandem would have offered him anything other than a preferred walk-on role at this stage.  I am hoping Leroy is a diamond-in-the-rough and he has a breakout senior season - AFTER he signs his NOI with ORU.

He will help to fill the role that McBride will leave after next year.  Not that he is McBride but can fill up the scoring column.  Good to have a freshman coming in that can help Coach Springmann to build his team for the future.

My recruiting contacts in Dallas told me Leroy had an official visit scheduled with Texas A&M for this coming weekend that Leroy canceled once Jeremiah Green committed to the Aggies. I am told this is a huge steal for ORU.

His high school Dynamic Prep was ranked 3rd in all of Texas by Maxpreps at the end of the season. His summer team DriveNation is full of high major recruits so those stats arnt too bad. I don’t know how things will play out, but he is much more than a diamond in the rough at this point. I’ve been a bit critical of recruiting but this is nothing less than a major signing.

Is he the great grandson of the pro football hall of famer Leroy Kelly?

Leroy's team is currently ranked #9 in the entire country by ESPN. He's averaging 10/3/2 playing alongside some really good talent.
