Louisiana junior forward Josh Leblanc, an ESPN 4-star prospect, said he has interest in Arkansas because of the vibe he has with assistant Scotty Thurman.
He was one of several prospects at Real Deal in the Rock basketball tournament in Little Rock the Hogs will evaluate this spring and summer.
Leblanc, 6-7, 210 pounds of Baton Rouge Madison Prep Academy played for Louisiana Elite over the weekend. He reports scholarship offers from Texas A&M, Alabama-Birmingham and believes the Razorbacks could be the next to extend an offer. He thinks highly of Thurman.
“It’s like I’ve been knowing him,” Leblanc said.
