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

Have to credit Lavin's relationship with JaKarr and his mother. Without Lav he isn't here.

Ive literally been watching jakarr's game tapes from the basketball diaries all night. Now he commits?! Who should I watch tomorrow lol.

FWIW the game im watching Jakarr is easily outplaying Noel from tilton. The #1 player in this class..

Welcome back Jakarr! Now convince moe to stay!

Maybe Nerlens Noel will shock the world and come on board

Who is here without Lav?


Stith?  just kidding.

Ok glad I finally got one kinda right! Can tell you we are in Chris's final 3 and from what I hear Morris will be next

Morris most likely will be next. He loves St. John's.

I hope so haven't heard much about him since that first story 2 weeks ago

Love this.

And '79, like others have said, your info is always appreciated--no matter what you're hearing. Keep it coming.

People are shocked that he re-committed here. Interesting.

I can't remember the last time I was as shocked in a decision as I am in this one. No one was thinking Red Storm for Sampson

I saw that too and was confused. I figured a guy like snow would be more in the loop. it was no secret we were always at the top of Sampson's list

Dave, as I just explained to my buddy (huge Johnies fan) I think Moe stays now. He can now develop at the 3 in college, instead of in the NBA. A starting lineup of Branch, Harrison, Moe, Sampson and for now Amir is insane. Moe will get a lot better from this, his draft stock will go even higher, and we will be very happy fans!

Not true. There is a reason why Snow got the scoop, he's a Brewster alum. He was very much in the loop. A lot of people were pushing JaKarr in opposite directions but JaKarr and his family wanted St. John's.

This helps in St. John's favor for Moe but ultimately won't prevent him leaving.

.....

Was never a question, really.  REALLY.

Hahhaa Choz you saying you knew this was a done deal a week ago!!!  Regardless, happy Jakar came back on board.  In Lav I trust!

was that final trip back to Ohio the deciding factor ?

Congratulations to #Brewster forward @KarrSampson14 on his decision to re-commit to #StJohns

I am speechless.  I figured there was no way he came back.  If mo comes back, which I think he should given the paucity of 3s in the draft this year, this is a team that has a chance to make a lot of noise.

why isn't JaKarr listed on the ESPNU Top 100?

still could use a big, but yeah, this team is looking solid. hopefully Jakarr can get some guys to join him

Welcome aboard Jakarr!!! - I wish you nothing but the best.

-In Lavin We Trust

He was last year but he's a prep player now

Well, I don't believe he's as happy as he would be if he went elsewhere, but at least he's not being a tool about it on twitter.

Morris, and 2 bigs would be legendary
