Diallo or Sampson or Both?
« on: April 16, 2015, 11:17:15 AM »
Who would you rather have? Who do you think we get?

I think we get both.  If only one, I'd rather Diallo since it would send a better statement. ...even if we'll  only have him two years or so.

i want both.  but i would be extremely happy with just getting Sampson.  we need someone to pick-up DLo offense.

Haha you kind of bailed us out with the "both" there, no? Of course we all want both, and while Diallo would be the sexy choice I think Sampson has the ability to leave a bigger mark on the program. Getting a McDonald's all-american would be great but for some reason I have a really good feeling about Sampson.

Have to imagine Diallo is planning on being a one and done, and if Sima is as good as some people are saying we really have Obekpa back I think our short term and long term needs both say Sampson. Not an easy call though, hopefully we don't have to make it!

Sampson for me is the choice of you get just one. I think if we get one we probably get the other. I think if Sampson commits and then we would have Obepka, Jordan, Williams, Sampson and Sima I think that would be very attractive to Diallo. That's jsut my two cents but I think we can get both but I would take Sampson because we need scoring and he's probably a guy who will be in school for 3 years as opposed to Diallo.

Both of course, but if it's just one, I say Sampson.  We are pretty good with bigs next year, but we don't have a scorer like Sampson.

We are in good shape for both. 1 announcing soon. Was told we are in the lead for Tarrant also

Guards - Sampson and Tarrant would be money.  Add those two with Sheed and possibly Doughty and we are talking.

Safe to say that's Sampson considering he cancelled a visit to SMU to meet with us this weekend?

Sampson and Tarrant would be terrific. Diallo in addition would be amazing.

Right now one. Two if JDR didn't get a year of eligibility back. Could be more depending on roster moves.

I'd rather get Diallo. But think getting both is very possible.

Are you the one with the great sources?  Please tell me you are.  Sampson and Tarrant!  Exactly who we need!  And with Tarrant , Diallo is much more likely to come because he wants to play with a good point guard, and the signings would generate great momentum and excitement, which is like a magnet in recruiting.

Sampson, put that in the bank for 3-4 years and watch it develop. Diallo seems more likely to leave early, while also at a position with less of a lead. With that said I would be ecstatic if we get either.

Tarrant, Sampson, and Diallo make this a possible tournament team next season.
I didn't think that was even remotely possible, not in my wildest dreams.    But IF about 4 things go our way... that would be a very rotation with Tarrant, Rysheed, Sampson, Williams, Diallo, Obekpa.
VEry nice.

But I question why Tarrant would come if Rysheed and Sampson are both here.    Doubt very much that all 3 are on the same team.
