Would imagine with breaks it isn't so much muscle as it is nutrition and making sure you have good bone density.

quick release and sharp handles. Hopefully he gets back to that. Very ecstatic about this pickup
nothing against clyburn because I really liked him as a player but I would hope leechs’ ball handling skills is a lot better than clyburns when he was here
Leech isn't as long as Clyburn, but he's much faster from what I've seen. More of a SG caliber athlete than SF, IMO.
Hopefully we’re playing KU and they can mention how KU backed off his recruitment
Agreed, only thing comparison wise with clyburn is that they are both SF and linky
Love this kids first step and ability to get in the lane, add a little muscle and he's going to be tough to keep from getting to the rim. It's fair to be a bit worried about his health but he'll be nearly 2 years removed from the injury by the time he steps on campus so he has plenty of time to get his game back to where it was.
Bringing in a guard who can produce next year would lessen the gamble on Leech, although I'm not sure it really will end up being much of a gamble in a year when he is back to 100%.

I think it is, or at least more refined at this point in his career. Although I can't honestly say what Will looked like going into his senior year haha. I should have included that in my original post.
I was more commenting on that, due to their style of play. He seems to look for slashing or off the dribble moves to the basket, while having the ability to step out and hit some 3s if people sag off due to being burned too many times. A really good skill set and knack to have as a basketball player, and hope his ball handling is as good as it has shown in his younger highlight tapes. (sounds like it is based off the one tweet evaluating his come back game this past weekend)
I'll get excited when he gets on campus. Looks promising but this isn't my first rodeo. Little risk so I'm 100% on board.
I've seen everything from 6'4-6'6 on heights for Mercedus. Seems really long for 6'4, but who knows. I think he's got a frame that can be molded into a great basketball body, even if he is a bit slender now.
How cool would 254 look in the rafters?
