BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WISH) — Hoosier fans might not have seen the last of fan favorite Anthony Leal.
According to Peegs.com, the IU graduate is appealing to the NCAA for another year of eligibility after playing five seasons with his hometown team.
The former Mr. Basketball from Bloomington South started 14 games last season averaging almost 21 minutes a game. He finished the season averaging 3.3 points, 1.8 assists and 2.9 rebounds a contest.
His high-energy play and personality quickly turned him into the Hoosier faithful’s favorite — constantly getting the loudest cheers during starting lineup introductions.
Leal only played 11 games during the 2022-23 season.
New head coach Darian DeVries has been busy building his team from an empty slate. Currently, no scholarship players from last year’s team are returning — either due to graduation or the transfer portal. At the start of May, DeVries has 11 new scholarship players on his roster, four away from the maximum of 15 allowed for Division I teams.
