Targeted St. John’s Recruit Brandon Sampson Gushes over Cal

The St. John’s Red Storm have their eyes set on prized 2015 recruit Brandon Sampson. In fact, Sampson feels warmly enough about the Johnnies that he would like to take an official visit to the campus. So, I guess the feeling is semi-mutual. Well, at least in the same way that your hot neighbor thinks you’re cute and wouldn’t mind going on a date, but he/she really has their eyes on that smoking hottie from two towns over.

According to Scout, Brandon Sampson took a visit to Cal and really, really loved his time there.

"“It’s an ‘A’,” Sampson said when asked to grade his visit to Berkeley. “An ‘A,’ an ‘A,’ an ‘A.’“It’s a great school. I met everybody. I met the vice president of the school, I met a lot of top people over at the University, so they told me a lot about it. It was the academics, the fields you can major in, all kinds of things – I learned that it was a really great school.”"

I don’t really think it is time to panic if you truly desire Sampson’s services at St. John’s, but I don’t know what’s better than giving one university multiple As.

As with all the recruiting nonsense we will keep you posted on Sampson’s recruiting process and any developments.
