Coach DeShannon Morris: ” He’s a great student with a cumulative GPA of 3.61, core GPA of 3.36, SAT 960, and ACT 17. This young man choose his Faith over everything. He just started playing on the wing 8 months ago. Been playing in the post up until his junior year…we helped him make transition just like so many guys before.”
Read what we said about McLeod at his most recent camp, “Next, we look at a player that stood out as one of the top all-around performers at camp, Stefon McLeod. He's a wiry, athletic wing prospect that really put the full two-way arsenal on display. McLeod plays with an impressive motor and understands how to truly overwhelm his assignment with constant activity and quick hands. He forced an abundance of turnovers and proved to be nearly unstoppable in transition, especially when attacking the basket. McLeod has a strong feel for the game and was able to make plays for others with great regularity. He prefers to score around the basket, but showed a formidable jumper from the perimeter and could become a knockdown shooter with time. Next in his development process is working on his consistency as a three-point shooter, as it would make him a true two-way nightmare for most opponents. Coach Threadgill on McLeod: 'Stefon is a great athlete. Once his skill catches up to his athleticism, he's going to be really good. He's a very smart player and shoots the ball well out to the midrange area. I would like to see him work on his three-point shot. Stefon has a great basketball body to be a sophomore.' McLeod should start garnering the attention of college coaches sooner rather than later, as he certainly has what it takes to succeed at the next level.”
