2009 Recruit - Leah Fortune
Forward
Club - Eclipse Select
Wheaton Academy, West Chicago IL
Leah was born, to American parents, in Sao Paolo, Brazil. She has played for the Brazil U-20 team, and is a practictioner of the flip-throw, which seems to be called "Cambalhota Mortal" in Portuguese. (The flip-throw in was previously seen at UT from Lerrin Biggers.) With her Brazilian roots, she gets to pick a single word nom de guerre, and goes by 'Leah'.

Leah Fortune is getting the world with her "Cambalhota Mortal"
More than just good Fortune
Many sources list Leah as committed to Clemson, but I have information that she is instead coming to Austin. (Hopefully this is correct!)
