SMU says they expect redshirt freshman forward Leslee Smith to see his first action as a Mustang on Sunday against UALR. Smith redshirted last year and has been rehabilitating a torn right ACL. Here's what they said about Smith when he signed with the Mustangs out of Christian Life in the Dallas area:

Leslee Smith (6-7, 245) is a forward for coach Carlos Wilson at Christian Life Center Academy in Humble, Texas. Smith is originally from the British Virgin Islands and helped the BVI National Team to a silver medal at the 2009 FIBA Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) Championships held on Tortola, BVI

"Leslee is a very versatile player. He can defend several positions and can really rebound the basketball. When I saw him play this summer, I knew immediately that he would fit in with our style of play. He is currently playing for one of the best prep teams in the nation and I expect him to continue to have a great year."
