Good hoops news: Meyers Leonard to Illinois

The 6-foot-11 Leonard, who is from the small town of Robinson, Ill., has become one of the hottest topics of conversations among the college coaches and soon will be one of the most sought after kids in the Class of 2010.

Leonard has an outstanding skill set, nice tough around the basket for a big guy and can move up and down the floor. Several analysts have compared him to Mason Plumlee, a Duke commitment and top 30 player in the Class of 2009.
