Geaux 24/7 Article

With Sampson on board, LSU has moved ahead of Kentucky and into the No. 1 spot in the 247Sports Team Rankings. The Tigers, who were previously ranked No. 16, have now signed both Sampson and No. 1 overall prospect Ben Simmons, and a signature is expected soon from fellow five-star Antonio Blakeney, who has been committed to the Tigers since January.

At 6-foot-4 and 180 pounds, Sampson is ranked as the No. 52 overall prospect in the 2015 class. He’s also ranked as the No. 14 shooting guard in the country.


quote:

Madison Prep basketball standout Brandon Sampson added a little drama, thanks to an unexpected signing press conference on Monday morning.

Ultimately, he decided he’d rather be a Tiger, an LSU Tiger.

Louisiana’s reigning Mr. Basketball, a former St. John’s commitment, opted to stay closer to home by signing LSU during the ceremony held at the school.

Looking at how the roster is filling out, we have a good mix of one-and-done's and multi-year guys.

It's going to be so strange to have a little depth

Exactly. For me, this commitment cements this roster as a NCAA Tournament team for years to come. I was worried about our perimeter players all leaving after next year, but now I feel really good about this team moving forward past next year.

I'm glad we made Sampson a priority after his de-commitment. This isn't a sign that we aren't signing Newman (though I doubt we are). Sampson has been a take since day 1. Just glad we got him.
