July Evaluation period...

Interesting.  I thought he was not in Atlanta:

Dan McDonald @DMcDonaldHoops     ·   4h   
Louisiana Elite took care of Carolina Wolves pretty easily. 2015 SG Brandon Sampson had a big game for LE.

You may have been right Fordham;

"Louisiana Elite backcourt: Playing without Brandon Sampson, Louisiana Elite still had more than enough from the perimeter. Tivonte Hardy and his backcourt mate combined for 43 points, constantly putting pressure on the Carolina Wolves. They were able to knock down shots from the perimeter, make plays in transition, and drive-and-kick in the half-court all game."

Yeah McDonald must have mistaken Sampson for someone else.  Because I don't think he has been cleared to play yet.

Thought this was an interesting observation;

"10. Schools are trying to limit their drama: This seemed to be a common theme among schools I spoke with throughout the past couple of weeks. The term “low-maintenance” came up often, while some schools discussed how they preferred to get a commitment early as opposed to waiting for another year and holding out for someone slightly better. In another school's case, they were adjusting their entire recruiting strategy. Instead of just stockpiling talent and athleticism, they were looking for some high-academic kids and kids that would help chemistry. Talent is great; too many egos is not.

He must be talking to the programs who have HOF coaches.  Because pretty much every other coach is fighting tooth and nail for the best talent, and warts be damned.

Brandon Sampson has been cleared to play this weekend in Vegas.

Briscoe will be playing I believe first two days of this last Live Period in Atlantic City before going to Vegas as well.

Steve Lavin @SJUCoachLavin     ·   27m   
Kudos to my staff for another strong recruiting effort.
Johnnies in position for 4th consecutive stellar class. #Hammer2Rock #sjubb #Grind

I would question last year being a "strong" recruiting effort LOL! but he does seem confident.

To hear Lavin tell it, we're loaded with lottery picks.
