I just signed a player named Frank "Leung".   A good solid player who will hopefully give me depth.

During my home visits, I was pronouncing it with one syllable and the vowels sounding like the "u" in "fur".
Meanwhile, on his campus visit, Father O'Callaghan was pronouncing it like "LEE-ong".

Frank was so polite, he didn't correct us, and never gave us the answer.   I'm thinking maybe both Father O'Callaghan and I were both wrong and there might be a 3rd way to pronounce it.

Any advice?

Lay-ung or Lay-oong or Lee-ong, something along those lines.

"Freshman"

I'm going with LEE-ung, but I need this settled before Holy Cross rolls into town for the Shatner Invitational. I need to know, man.

Perhaps this ruins the fun but I work with a guy with this last name. I'll find out.

"Loing" 

Cal Poly has a page that states: 

Leung

leuhng (light g)

i had a friend in highschool who had last name leung. it was pronounced "LEE-ung". like rogelio says, light g, like the ung in lung. u like in fun.

At this website, you can hear it pronounced:     Learn'g

Thanks guys. You're the best. I'll let Father O'Callaghan know immediately!

My bad. Forgot to post. He said the U is an R sound. So the first option is closest. Lerng.

Lung with the u as in "put"
