Crappy weather for the visit. I hope he likes the Champion Center and hits the dining service at least once.

When he goes all out he has a lot to offer. Frank has mentioned that motivation is the issue but I hope he's willing to work with him again.

Leveque looks like he belongs in the NBA in that highlight reel. I can see where a coach could get very frustrated by a guy who can play like that but doesn't do it consistently.

I really hope we get him for a few reasons.
1. If he and Frank have a heart to heart and they both agree he should be here I have confidence that Frank thinks he will perform.
2. Since he will be playing a lot of games (all home games, @URI, any games near Boston or in CT) in front of family and friends, I think he won't want to embarrass himself by being lazy.
3. As Len said, when he's on he looks like NBA talent.

So with that said, WILDENS, GET YOUR BUTT TO AMHERST!

Without watching any of his highlights, is he giving off Cady Lalanne vibes? I loved Cady, don't get me wrong, but he looked like he didn't go all out most nights. He was still good enough to get drafted, and honestly, I'd take another Cady in a heartbeat.

Someone on Twitter why he was going to UMass and that FM criticized him.

Woody said because he's a good guy!

My guess is that if we don't hear anything within a day or two he won't be coming.

South Carolina transfer Wildens Leveque commits to #UMass, following head coach Frank Martin.
If Frank can get this version of Wildens we will be a really fun team to watch. I can watch this video over and over.

Dunk-o-rama! Love it. Plus a nice little jumper from the elbow. Can't wait.

Starting to build a roster with high-major size and athleticism. Let’s grab a couple guards/wings to finish the roster and get this thing going!

I'll predict the first game at the Bill we get 6500+ fans.
