NC State tried with El Cajon (Calif.) Foothills Christian senior power forward T.J. Leaf the first time around, but didn't get much traction. He ended up picking Arizona over Duke, UCLA, Florida and Michigan, among others.
Leaf, who Rivals.com ranks No. 12 in the country in the class of 2016, decommitted from Arizona last night and NC State has reached out to him. UCLA is the early buzz because most of his Compton Magic traveling teammates have picked the Bruins, and there is the adidas connection.
Schools that have reached out to Leaf: NC State, Kentucky, Indiana, UCLA, Arizona State, Texas, Kansas, California, Oregon, Gonzaga, Michigan and Duke. I'm sure that list will grow today.
Arizona coach Sean Miller cut Leaf during the USA 19s trials, and that might have been the downfall in that recruiting relationship.
