Junior forward Josh Leblanc had two scholarship offers while playing in Real Deal in the Rock basketball tournament in Little Rock March 31-April 2. He has since accumulated 16 others, including one from Arkansas Razorbacks coach Mike Anderson.
He said receiving the offer Monday was special because of his relationship with University of Arkansas, Fayetteville assistant Scotty Thurman.
"It was [a] blessing," Leblanc said. "Any offer is a great feeling, but when you're talking to someone and they've been recruiting you, it's feels even better to know they offered you."
Leblanc, 6-7, 210 pounds, of Baton Rouge Madison Prep Academy played for Louisiana Elite during Real Deal in the Rock and had scholarship offers from Texas A&M, and Alabama-Birmingham.
