Sampson averaged 7.7 points and 2.6 rebounds a game during the 2017-2018 season. He missed six games this past season after suffering an ankle injury vs. Notre Dame on Nov. 21.

Bad decision. He never really panned out to his high school ranking and has a lot of athletic ability that didn't transfer to to the hardwood. Poor kid probably knows he will get passed up on the depth chart by the incoming talent. Best of luck

Every year people whine about juniors leaving, and usually are flat wrong. I include myself with quaterman who I thought wiuld flop and he just inked two years with the Rockets. We're headed for several more one and Done players with the way Wade is recruiting. I say we're better off in this direction.

He could be a Scotty Thurman. Leave early, not get drafted, but scratch out a decent career overseas.

“Sampson averaged 7.7 points and 2.6 rebounds a game during the 2017-2018 season. He missed six games this past season after suffering an ankle injury vs. Notre Dame on Nov. 21.” This is just what the NBA has been looking for.

I think he knows he is not ready but he sees the talent coming in next year. His chance to start next year was 0%

In Basketball the odds are stacked against most unless you are so special. I just don't see these young men passing on education and opportunity for a one shot NBA career. We need to clear the deck and let those who want pro to go pro. Those who want a degree get a degree. End of story, or beginning!
