JaKarr Sampson

 Not sure if this was already written, but Noel dropped Providence. If part of their sales job was that Jakarr would be playing next to him, it's no longer applicable.

Good point, LJSA.

By the way, I would've loved to be a part of the Noel sweepstakes. Hopefully, he goes to UK, as I'm not particularly a fan (not that I'm a fan of UK either) of any of the other schools on his list. I don't have much (I won't root for 'em, either) against 'Cuse, but I want Noel out of the Big East.

So, I guess UK or UNC will suffice. :sick: LOL
 
Still waiting for this good news regarding Sampson! Also what is choz saying about our recruiting? He seems very tuned in!!!

Cross won.. by like 15.. Another solid job by Gilvary.
 
From SJU 79 on JJ

"I understand that im losing all credability here but since I dont know this kid im only reporting what I hear from people I trust.. Just spoke with a guy at Brewster who SWEARS that Jakarr has not only not eliminated SJU but they are right near the top. The kids on the roster are all over him to come and join in and that is really working on him. He says Fla not really an option, the wow factor of KU is wearing off but Prov is literally ALL OVER him. His guess was a 2 way tie between SJU and Prov with KU close behind and all else out of the picture. Guy also mentioned Norvel is having Issues(not physical health) so as decent people perhaps we could lay off the insults on him and keep him in our prayers"

If its between us and Providence then I feel real good about where we stand. Not a shot at them or to say they couldn't beat us for him because they could but we have much more to offer him then they do. Time will tell

It's hard to have credibility when you can't spell credibility. That being said -- I sure hope he's on to something

I was really hoping this guy was banned after not noticing him for a while.
 
Correct me if I am wrong but I recall that poster "SJU 79" the "insider" who said 2 weeks ago that Mr. Sampson had eliminated St.John's.

Thats what he was told 2 weeks ago. Things change, and information is sometimes told incorrectly. This recent post is in line with a lot that I and others have heard too. 79 is solid source of information.
 
 From what I had heard, Jakarr never eliminated SJU and we've been at or near the top of his list for a long, long time. Lavin has put in blood to recruiting Jakarr and I hope he reaps the dividends. I've heard Jakarr as well as his family love Lavin and I still believe we will land him because of a variety of factors. Too many positives for Jakarr to turn down here, and he'll play with friends and for a coach that really cares about him. I personally think that Cooley's moves are desperation late-push maneuvers at this point. We'll see.
 
 I know these are just kids, I just wish JaKarr had the loyalty of Amir.This whole thing would have been over along time ago. Hope we see him in red and white.

Coach said last month that the recruits he feels are coming want to wait until the April signing period to announce. Maybe Jakarr is like Michael Corleone talking to Hyman Roth before he commits; he just wants to wait a little. Maybe these kids want to wait to the last minute to see how coach feels. Who knows. Coach Lavin is confident, and that's good enough for me.

What were they going to ban me for -- disagreeing with you?

“It has to be a perfect fit,” Sampson said. “That’s what got to be perfect. If it’s not right you’ll be unhappy. The ideal fit is a team that will let me play defense, get after it, play up tempo and let me get after.”

“That’s the tough part. You start looking at the rosters and where you can see yourself fit in: who got who, who’s coming in behind you. I’m a competitor so I don’t think about that aspect a lot but it kind of do think about it.”

Well if its about the roster, being able to be a key guy without waiting for someone to graduate, and being allowed to run and "get after it", it's tough to think of a better situation than StJ. I hope he sees it that way.
 
 He already has played with DLo so he knows the chemistry is there, and the need for a player like him was already demonstrated this season.
 
He has been there, done that!!!
I don't know what all of you interpret that to mean, but it does not seem at all positive to me!
