ULTIMATE BASKETBALL GOAL
“My ultimate goal for basketball is to play in college, and become a starter at wherever I play, and to keep loving the game!” – Sam Leppien Sam Leppien 6'10" | C Alma | 2022 State MI
RECRUITMENT
Leppien will be a high quality addition wherever he ends up. He’s a high quality young man that will be a big plus in the locker room. Post players with his size, skill, and potential are pretty few and far between so college coaches will want to watch him play very soon and see for themselves.
“In the past 2 weeks I was offered my Alma and Calvin University, and I continue to get interest from all levels!” – Sam Leppien Sam Leppien 6'10" | C Alma | 2022 State MI
