Leslie McDonald

[Highway2Heel]

Anyone have an idea where Mr. McDonald will take his considerable talents after his high school career is over?

Probably going to join Mr. Williams from St. Georges at Duke.

Leslie seems more like a North Carolina type kid..

As of now this is a four team race. Mem, Tn, NC, and Duke.

UNC might have hurt themselves in terms of picking up a committment from McDonald when Dexter Strickland, a highly ranked guard from St Pats up in New Jersey that is similar in playing style to Leslie. Im not sure if that will affect McDonald but its just something to notice.

Good points...thanks all.

 

I know that the dookies want this kid badly...

I watched McDonald play in the Arby's classic. John Calipari was at the championship game against Archbishop Carroll (who has Christopher Joseph who is comitted to Syracuse) and he sat behind Briarcrest's bench. After the game Calipari came through the stands and shook people's hands and took pictures. I would say that Memphis is definately interested in him especially after Calipari watched him dominate the championship game. But, personally, I hope he goes to Carolina. I love me some Tar Heels...

Hopefully Memphis. I would hate to see us lose another one to Duke.

There's no way I want dook to get this guy...

I'm a Tar Heel fan but I'd like to see local talent stay local. I don't see why you would want to go out of state when you got 2 of the top teams in the country in Memphis and Tennessee. You figure if he were to stay at Memphis how much more support he'd have if he were to stay in Memphis. Good Luck to this kid. I got to watch Briarcrest without Leslie in a playday at Liberty and without him they were extremely good! I couldn't imagine them with him.

I played McDonald in the Arby's Classic. The quickest player I have ever had to guard. He's one of the best shooters I have ever seen. He left a lasting impression on me when i saw his feet flying above my shoulders lol. Based on my experiece playing him, he seems like the kind of player that would fit perfectly in Bruce Pearl's system down at UT. Personally, thats where I hope he goes. But if UT is not his choice, I hope its UNC, because i hate Memphis.

UNC and Duke are really stepping it up for McDonald. Coach K was at Briarcrest on monday and I spoke with a Saints assistant coach who said that he was very impressive ( no shock ). I honestly don't see UT in the final running( just a feeling....no real reason to believe so) although their season continues to impress. I think the final three will be UNC, Duke, and Memphis and mainly the two Tobacco Road schools. UNC sees McDonald as the final and missing piece to their '09 class and Duke is...well...Duke. Memphis and UT still have a legit chance but with Duke and UNC( who again, have really stepped it up lately) in the mix and pushing hard it's going to be an all out battle royal for this kid.

 

 

If the commitement were made today my gut tells me it would be UNC but any one of the four could get him.
