A couple of interesting tidbits:

- WW noticed early on in the season that the three guard lineup wasn't going to fly and that they needed a 6'6, athletic, "SEC" wing player. Coaches identified Marlon Taylor early on and had been recruiting him for some time. Said it was convenient, with him being from NY, when they would go to visit Naz Reid in NJ, they would visit Taylor as well.

- As for the two open scholarships, WW said there were a few guys ready to sign. Doesn't sound like those recruits have committable offers.

The sad thing is that Sampson is ~6'5" and was arguably the most naturally athletic guy on the team. He was solid on defense in the Michigan game...until Charles Matthews took over in the second half. He got injured in the next game vs. ND and was essentially a non-factor the rest of the way except for a few big burst here and there. Arguably, Sampson should have been that SEC wing Wade said they needed last season. He's athletic and probably a better shooter than Taylor. But alas, it just never clicked for him at LSU

He makes it sound like if Taylor comes in and works hard, he's gonna start at the 3
