That may be one of the larger-leaved privet species, such as Ligustrum japonicum or L. lucidum. Both of those have much thicker leaves than most privets, and the plants can be quite tall. If privet looks right, L. japonicum leaves snap when bent, and L. lucidum leaves just bend.

Well I think you nailed it! Thank you. Just pulled some leaves and they snapped so l. Japonicum it is. Now the big question...do I clean it up and keep it or get rid of it!?!

This is one of the less invasive privets; however, it can still cause problems. I've included an old Garden Web thread that is informative.
