JaKarr chatter on Twitter

WOW. Who is advising Jakarr.

 To me someone is telling him the longer you stay in college the more scouts will see the weaknesses in JaKarr's game.

If I'm Lavin, I'm on the phone with the Temple transfer.  Tons of playing time just opening up.  Also need to start looking at some juco's to fill the spot.

Lee already cut his list and most top 2014 jucos are long gone.

No tooth fairy coming guys.

Who's better at the same stage? Lamont Hamilton or Jakarr?

Damn I heard he has game!

The reason I brought up that I heard there were issues with the staff and certain players(Harrison, Obekpa) is I wonder if any of that had anything to do with Sampson decision?

I personally doubt that, but who knows. My sense he and/or advisers felt he would not improve further here, so why not take a leap.

Good luck

Did Jakarr sign with an agent?

Didn't think of that.
Hey if busted JR Smith could get his terrible brother a guaranteed contract, I am sure Free agant to be Lebron could get the Heat to waste the last pick of the 1st round on his hometown little buddy.

LeBron told hem to go pro.

Maybe the kid is over school.  You never know.  Shoot I was over school after my 2nd freshman year.

He will probably team up with Doug McD-League for the Mad Ants..

From ESPN:

ESPN.com NBA draft expert Chad Ford does not currently list Sampson among his Top 100 draft prospects. Ford has Sampson ranked No. 137 overall, and No. 34 among power forwards.

"I have been advised that I may be selected between the late-first and mid-second round," Sampson said. "But the important thing is I am in the mix and I know I can earn my way up the draft board."

Yikes. Probably goes undrafted RT @GoodmanESPN: St John's JaKarr Sampson entering NBA Draft.

Talk about a lukewarm endorsement -

 "In speaking with NBA general managers, JaKarr is projected as a draft prospect with intriguing talent and upside."

Don't hire the agent JKS..!!!

I am a draft prospect as well.  I am rather intriguing and all I have is upside

now i wish Whitehead had waited until Spring to sign

Jakarr  Presser,NYPost_Brazille: Steve Lavin said St. John's could play like Villanova next year if it doesn't add anyone. #sjubb

JS sees himself as first rounder.

@NYPost_Brazille: Lavin said the focus remains on 2015 and 2016 for recruiting. Actively recruiting, but like this roster even with Sampson leaving. #sjubb

Very true, except only like Nova when they played Creighton this year.
