Eric Bossi @ebosshoops 11h Marquese Chriss and Steve Enoch really standing out to me as big men on the rise. Brandon Sampson makes game look easy, fluid SG #pangosaa Expand
Dinos Trigonis @trigonis30 13h Pangos Day 2/Session 2 Top Performers @chimezie_Metu 21 pts @malikk_5 16 pts Jimmy Whitt 10 pts Brandon Sampson 25 pts Nick Marshall 13 pts
Joel Francisco @joelfranespn 16h Standouts @ Pangos: 2015s Admon Gilder (scorer/shooter), Steve Enoch (Monster Upside), Brandon Sampson (deep shooter/ath/upside) #Pangos from City of Long Beach, CA
AllMetroHoops @ehoopsshowcase 15h Brandon Sampson has been impressive all weekend. Excellent in transition but also effective attacking in the half court #PangosAACamp
Eric Bossi @ebosshoops 18h Louisiana SG Brandon Sampson has a burner from deep. Just pulled and swished a heavily contested 28 footer. #pangosaacamp

From Eric Bossi free article on Rivals today:
"Unlike Enoch, Brandon Sampson is already a nationally ranked player. Like Enoch, Sampson hasn't yet gotten a lot of notoriety as a prospect. A 6-foot-5'ish shooting guard from Baton Rouge (La.) Madison Prep, Sampson is the No. 73 player in the class of 2015, but that will soon be changing.
Fact is, Sampson needs to be ranked a bit higher than that.
There are players who just make things look easy on the floor and Sampson is one of those players. A fluid athlete who can handle the ball, Sampson is the proud owner of one of the smoothest looking jump shots in the class of 2015. That jump shot is a real weapon and he has supreme confidence in it.
Because of Sampson's willingness to pull from 23 feet with accuracy, defenders are in trouble. If they crowd him, he can use his ball-handling ability and size to get by defenders and score in traffic. If anything, Sampson could stand to be a bit more aggressive off the dribble, but it is tough to complain too much about anything he does on the offensive end of the floor.
Sampson's recruitment figures to start picking up and LSU, St. John's, California, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M are among a group of programs that have put in early work with him."

insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncbrecruitingon-the-trail/post/_/id/10467/pangos-all-american-camp-recapBrandon Sampson 2015, SG, 6-5, 170 pounds Status: Arizona, LSU, Baylor, Georgetown, South Carolina, St. John's, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Mississippi State are involved. Sampson might have had the most upside of any scoring guard in the camp. The lengthy scorer has a feathery shooting touch with range out to 23 feet. He threw down a couple of Vince Carter-type dunks in transition as well. When he polishes his mid-range skills, he'll challenge Malik Newman and Allonzo Trier as the best 2-guard in the class. That's very high praise for the kid..

Great job, SJU. The league will always get more ink with a strong St Johns.
Looks like 9 Big East top-100 signings in 2015 so far, along with 12 from 2014 (using 24/7 rankings).
Better still - 8 of the 10 squads have at least 1 top-100 recruit over the last 2 seasons.
Butler and DePaul are the 2 that haven't -- not exactly debunking the majority notion that these 2 might be the bottom-dwellers in the league, long-term.

Unforntuately, this increases the kid's chances at being ineligible or suspended by about 1000%.

Was going to say something along the lines of the kid wanting to be a fireman when he grows up, since he apparently has no problem stepping into structures that appear to be ready to go down in flames...

I would hope that Lavin's job is not in jeopardy. I guess we shall see.

I would hope that Lavin's job is not in jeopardy. I guess we shall see. If he misses the tournament this year, which is a distinct possibility unless he goes 9-6 the rest of the regular season, he'll be gone. A 4* recruit won't be enough to save him, particularly since the rest of the roster is so bare.

So many problems with that program off the court, and so far no real on-court success to justify maintaining the staff. Next 2 months will tell.
