Never try to calculate the bounding rectangle of a circle when you’re tired, distracted, or less than fully sober. I must have been some combination of all three of those when I wrote this masterpiece:

public override RectangleF BoundingRect
{

    float y = WorldPos.Y - (m_radius / 2.0f);
    return new RectangleF(x, y, m_radius, m_radius);
  }
}
