Sampson Talks About Class, Gordon Recruitment - indiana.scout.com

Sampson on Eric Gordon:

"Eric Gordon is an immediate impact player wherever he goes. The fact that he is an Indiana kid is important as we move forward with the program in the future," Sampson said. "Eric is a great player and an even better person. With an unbelievably supportive family in his parents and grandparents, he is the total package."

Sampson on Eli Holman:

"We really like Eli's work ethic," Sampson said. "He has a tremendous attitude about improvement. Not only is he a great shot blocker, but he runs the floor as well as any big man we have had. His development around the basket will be key to our future."

Sampson on Brandon McGee:

"I love Brandon McGee. He is a complete player," Sampson said. "Some kids transcend a position, and he has a great body that allows him to play down low or on the perimeter. More importantly, thanks to his grandmother and his aunt, he comes from a tremendous, well-rounded family.

Sampson on Player Rankings:

“I could care less about rankings,” Sampson said. “My rankings come from my assistant coaches and my eyes, if we think a kid is a good player.” “Coaches don’t recruit to be ranked – you recruit to fill needs,” Sampson said. “Rankings are for people to get excited ready about. I get excited about how I think Eric Gordon can help us win games, about how Brandon McGee can fit into our team, about how Eli Holman can develop as a player.”
