LMU is rumored to be interested in Damion Lee, a small forward who is currently spending a post-grad year at prep powerhouse St. Thomas More in Oakdale, Conn., according to a Baltimore Sun article published one month ago. Lee graduated from Calvert Hall in Baltimore last year, after leading his team to a Baltimore Catholic League championship.

The 6'5" Lee had signed a letter on intent to attend Towson, but changed his mind last spring. According to the Baltimore Sun, Lee felt that a post-grad year "would be best for his development."

The article goes on to say that Lee "already has scholarship offers from Hofstra, Northeastern and St. Bonaventure," but Jere Quinn, Lee's coach, noted that his forward had also heard from Boston College, Delaware, Fordham, Loyola Marymount, Manhattan, Penn State and Siena.

Lee has a scouts grading of 85 on ESPN, meaning that he would be a "multi-year starter at the mid-major level."
