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

you can really see how he became more and more comfortable playing the 4 as the seen progressed. I think he will contribute a great deal from the get go next year

Jakarr Sampson St. John's signee from Ohio - Brewster Academy - King James


he'll really step into Brownlees role I believe

he looks more skilled than brownlee.  i'll accept he's playing against boys while brownlee plays against men.

NEPSAC is a pretty talented conference.

I think Brewster would beat Nuri's juco by 30.  The talent in the NEPSAC is just absurd right now.

Moose and Marillac are dead right on this. It is, by far, the toughest area to play in right now.
It beats the WCAC, Chicago Public, Southern California, North Jersey, CHSAA, Houston, etc.
Brewster alone goes 8 deep in D-I, 7 of them will be playing high-major.

By the end of the year, Angel Nunez, who went to ND Prep and is signed for Louisville, couldn't even get off the bench because of his defense.

JaKarr made first team All-New England Class AAA (the toughest class--guys on the honorable mention are headed to the Big 10 & Big East). Harkless was named second-team.

The talent in the NEPSAC was being mentioned in the game chat during the Big East Tournament.  Pretty insane talent.  Which is another reason why I'm high on Sampson and Harkless.

I'd love to see the top 8 teams in the NEPSAC play the 8 teams ESPN/Rise has put/concocted in their version of a "national title."

Not promising.

Might be a good thing because he seems to be one of the most raw out of the 2011 class.

I have a hunch this is eligibility related, if true.  I guess this is the reason the Johnnies are pursuing Traylor AND God's Gift.

It's the only thing it can be.
But a few weeks ago the article from the Ohio paper sounded like he was all qualified.

I dont think this is worst thing in the world.

Maybe he realized his pt would be minimal?

Well someone posted eligibility wasnt an issue, another saying he was the rawest of the recruits

He does need to get stronger if he wants to be a PF.  It may help us with some scholarship balance but I think it would benefit us if he came next year.  I think he may need a year to adjust to college because of his strength.   

They ALL need to get stronger.

They ALL need to get stronger.

Like a great deal of high school players.  I continue to wonder why this is such a big topic when many high school players need to get stronger.  That'll come in time.  I'm more concerned about skill level.  Quite frankly, many of our recruits have a sufficient level of skill.
