I found this thread doing some research for a post about recruits in my blog. The reason I was researching Leone is because he will be playing D1 hockey for Western Michigan this season.
Yeah, he doesn't stay in one place for very long. He did well for us when he was here, but he didn't exactly settle in for the long haul.
Hammer:
I am having trouble finding stats from last year on Leone. Was he #13? I remember a big player in the game against SNC who was clearly the best player on the ice for Adrian. If this is the loss, a very big loss at that!

Leone played 11 games for Lindenwood last season.
Did that burn a year of NCAA eligibility?
According to the WMU roster he is coming in as a sophomore. So unless the roster is wrong then, no, that 11 games at Lindenwood did not burn any eligibility.

That's quite a way of circumventing the NCAA's sit a year after transferring policy.
I would think it means he is an academic sophomore by virtue of transferrable credits, but I don't see how he can have more than 2 years of eligibility left.
It would be if that even applied to him. You don't need to sit out a year if you're switching divisions.

You do if you move from DIII to DI, but not vice versa.

If you move from DIII to DI you have to sit, but not the other way around.
It is true that he doesn't have to sit out a year (DI rule to help prevent DIII poaching), but I still believe he has only 2 years of eligibility left.
Basic information you need to know about transferring to an NCAA college
That's an awfully long document that I don't have the time to read. Would you care to pinpoint the rule that supports your opinion?
