From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leroy Hurd (born May 26, 1980 in Pascagoula, Mississippi, USA) is an American basketball player currently with Italian team Sebastiani Rieti.[1]
Hurd was a multi-sport superstar at Moss Point High School before a 5 inch growth sport made a future in basketball possible. Hurd attended the University of Miami for two years before transferring with his wife Noelle, a doctoral student, to the University of Texas at San Antonio. His first year at UTSA was a mediocre season for his team although Hurd was named Southland Conference newcomer of the year. In 2003-2004 Hurd was named the 2004 Southland Conference Most Valuable Player after leading the conference in scoring with 19.4 points per game. He also averaged 8.2 rebounds and helped UTSA become the Southland regular season and tournament champions, as well as an NCAA tournament appearance.[2] Hurd went undrafted and briefly played for the Columbus River Dragons before moving on to Sutor Basket Montegranaro and then to Teramo Basket.[3][4]
