High Point Wesleyan Christian Academy forward Leek Leek has verbally committed to play basketball at Wisconsin-Milwaukee, several recruiting services have reported.

The 6-foot-6 small forward picked Milwaukee over offers from Houston, Appalachian State and West Virginia, according to Rivals.com.

Originally from Sudan, Leek isn't the only player on coach Keith Gatlin's team to draw recruiting interest. His younger brother, 6-11, 230-pound junior center Deng Leek, is drawing considerable recruiting interest, including Georgetown, Connecticut, Wake Forest and Clemson.

Both are rated three-star prospects by Rivals.com.
