Jakarr Sampson - SF - Brewster Academy - Akron, OH - ST. JOHN'S

And why not an official visit here to reconnect with the other players he was recruited with last year, doesn't sound good to me.

Jakarr didn't use any official visits last year.  So why not use all 5 now.  He knows STJ campus.  He was there enough.

I want to be on the side of the angels for this thread, but Jakarr obviously didn't use all 5 of his visits last year because he knew what he wanted...US.  Now, I get the impression that he's put us in the rearview mirror and feels the need to explore other options.  Again, I want to be wrong and I get the issue with his coach pushing him away from us, but I can't remember seeing a quote from Jakarr in the last few months where he spoke highly of SJU (or even mentioned us at all).  If he comes, it will be AWESOME and I will worship at the alter of Lavin more fervently than ever, but I'm just not feeling this one.

Respect your opinion Moose, what is your sense of him coming?

Use the visits or lose them.  5 free trips.  Kyle visited Florida last and everyone was all worried remember?

Also you haven't heard quotes because there is a little brat calling his shots when it comes to quotes.  Brewster's season can't end soon enough IMO.

Guarded prognosis on Sampson, but still wonder why Lavin has been very public and confident about a solid class. Is he factoring in a surprise transfer who has completed academic requirements for immediate eligibility or a European? Just thinking!

Respect your opinion Moose. You see us firmly in the Sampson recruitment?

Alright Moose.  If you say so, I too will say the glass is half full for Sampson. You're clearly more in tune with the process than me.

I may be wrong but I think Jakarr was at St. Johns for a week or so while he was waiting for the NCAA to clear him. It's not the no visits set up to St. John's that worry me but its him visiting all these other schools that do

I'm usually a pretty positive poster, but I think this ship has sailed. I give it 20%, max. He would be here already if he truly wanted to. Honestly, who cares what your coach wants? Screw that guy.

 Of course i have no real info.

 I hope that i am wrong and will gladly post an "i'm an idiot" post if proven wrong.

Because your coach can sit you.  And Brewster has TONS of talent so it wouldn't have serious damage.  Also I think someone mentioned he's a dean at the school or something.

 Let me try and understand this.

 Sampson has a great season last year at a school that is not Brewster.   He is highly ranked and commits to Lavin and St. John's.
Sampson does not qualify and then the Rise fiasco.
Sampson goes to Brewster and plays for this clown.
Sampson willingly plays for a coach who theoretically threatens his playing time and makes him open up his recruitment and drop St. Johns and Lavin.  If he doesn't, he will sit and coach dope will bad mouth him?

 What does Coach Dope have against St. John's and what does he get in return for a Kansas commit?  I'm sure this has been covered so i apologize for the repetition.

To clarify I did not state that the brat threatened his playing time.  Just thinking out loud based on what others have said and I've heard about him expecting 2 yrs of Jakarr and only getting 1 at first.  Jakarr played at Brewster last year too remember.  Just know the other ppl in his life are very very high on Lavin and STJ.
