Justin Leon update

NWA Media/ANDY SHUPE Conway senior Justin Leon, center, attempts to score as Van Buren freshman Mitchell Smith (24) defends Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013, during the first half of play in the first round of the Class 7A State Basketball Tournament at Fayetteville High School.

Junior college forward Justin Leon has narrowed his list of schools to four.

Leon, 6-8, 200 of Shawnee Community College in Illinois lists in order, Florida, Arkansas, Kansas State and Louisiana Tech, said Shawnee Coach John Sparks.

Sparks said Leon will not take any official visits for three to four weeks and will likely narrow the list to one or two schools.

Leon signed with La. Tech, but said on Twitter that he has been granted a release because Coach Michael White left for the Florida job.

A native of Conway, Leon averaged 21.5 points and 10 rebounds this past season.
