  • Baylor Going Big on Brewster’s Sampson

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Baylor is going big on JaKarr Sampson.

    Coach Scott Drew and company secured the first official visit from the 6-foo-8 Sampson since he decommitted from St. John’s.

    And after Sampson took that official visit this past weekend, Drew turned up at Brewster (N.H.) Academy at 8 a.m. Tuesday and then had lunch with Sampson, according to Brewster coach Jason Smith.

    St. John’s coach Steve Lavin was there even earlier. He showed up for 6 a.m. workouts.

    Still, Sampson Sweepstakes II looks like it’s just beginning.

    Smith said Kansas assistant Danny Manning and head coaches from Florida, Miami, Providence and South Florida will attend a workout Wednesday.

    Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski and two assistants were also there Tuesday. Duke is involved with Brewster forward Mitch McGary, who is considering Duke, North Carolina, Florida, Kentucky, Michigan and Maryland.

    He recently announced he would not attend Kentucky’s Big Blue Madness.
