The North Platte Community College Knights recently announced the signing of three players for the upcoming 2015–2016 basketball season. They are: Myles Laurent-Smart from Orlando, Fla., Mike Amius from Lantana, Fla. and Leito Holloway from Mint Hill, N.C.

Laurent–Smart, originally from England, played for West Oaks Academy in Orlando, Fla.  Laurent–Smart is a 5’ 10” point guard.

West Oaks Head Coach Shaun Wiseman said, “Laurent–Smart is a good role player on a good team. He is a great defensive point guard that distributes the ball well and is unselfish.  He plays with a lot of intensity and has very good leaping ability.” West Oaks plays in the Sunshine Independent Athletic Association and won the state championship this past season.

Mike Amius, who is 6’ 7”, plays the three or the four position. Knights assistant coach Ryan Glenney said, “Amius is a very athletic finisher that really runs the floor.  Good ball handler for his size.”

Santaluces head coach Reggie Dixon said “Amius is a very hard worker and exciting in the open court.  He is a great student and has good character.  He was a leader on the team.” Amius averaged about 12 points per game and five rebounds this past season.

Leito Holloway played at Rocky River High School in Mint Hill, N. C. Glenney said “Leito is a 6’ 3” strong, lefty guard, who is an excellent finisher.  He is able to make plays above the rim as well as for his teammates.  He should be able to come in and really help us on both ends of the floor.”

On getmerecruited.com Holloway’s profile said, “Holloway is a very under-rated prospect. Very quick and versatile, Holloway understands the “how to” in basketball. He’s a student of the game with all of the trimmings. Leito is a well-rounded player and can shoot the ball efficiently long range. His ability to make moves to the basketball and pull jumpers from 15 feet makes him more of a threat than most prospects, and he can also play above the rim. Holloway has good ball handling skills and can make plays to the basket or set up his teammates to score. Being that he understands the game so well he uses his size to over-power smaller guards and his quickness to get around much bigger players.”
