Steve Prohm and the Cyclones got their first class of 2019 commits on Wednesday with small forward Marcedus Leech. Travis Hines of the Ames Tribune first reported the news on Twitter.
Leech’s commitment had been in rumblings for months. Leech had suffered a broken leg in August of 2017, but according to Hines he expects to be able to play by October.
The Jonesboro, Arkansas student is a three-star player, according to his 247Sports Composite rating. Leech is ranked as the No. 3 Missouri prospect, the No. 53 small forward and the No. 218 best overall player by 247Sports.
Leech’s offer list featured Kansas, LSU, Missouri and a handful of other Power Five conference teams. Leech is listed at 6-foot-5, 170-pounds.
Editor’s Note: This article previously said that Leech is from Poplar Bluff, Missouri. Leech recently moved from Missouri to Arkansas. The error has been corrected.
