Kamran Leonard From JW
North Getting Attention--(Nov. 16, 1998)

Kamron Leonard (6'-8" Sr. PF/C) from JW North, one of the truly powerful big men, is getting some attention from Washington, Washington State, Iowa, University of Portland, Texas and Texas Pan-American, but will probably sign late.  Kamron is huge, a very strong, big wide-body guy who weighs about 250 lbs. now.

At the Long Beach Fall Hoops Classic this year, he gave Dominguez' Tyson Chandler (7'-0" So. C) all kinds of trouble, and he's a really big power type of player: Physical, tough, almost to the point of provoking his opponents to fighting. He was so tenacious and strong in the post that he had Tyson swinging and shoving just to get position, and at times the refs had to separate them. Kamron runs very well for someone so large, and he's deceptively strong. He doesn't look as heavy, say as Tony Champion (6'-9" Sr. C) from Bishop O'Dowd who has signed with Sac State, but he runs better and is probably just as strong if not stronger. And the most amazing thing about Kamron is that he didn't play last year at all.

Kamron could be a Pac-10 guy, and best of all, he's fully qualified.  College coaches should definitely not pass this one up.
