Going to run through the AAC. @Texansfan713 They're bringing back: • Landers Nolley (6'7" 230) - 13.1 ppg last season • DeAndre Williams (6'9 200) - 11.7 ppg last season • Lester Quinones (6'5" 205) - 9.5 ppg last season • Alex Lomax (6'0" 190) - 6.0 ppg last season Bringing in via transfer: • Chandler Harris (6'8 205) - Former 4* recruit • Earl Timberlake (6'6" 215) - Former 4* recruit • Tyler Harris (5'9" 150) - Former 4* recruit Bringing in via recruiting class: • Jalen Duran (6'10" 220) - #1 overall recruit • Emoni Bates (6'9" 180) - #2 overall recruit • Josh Minott (6'8" 180) - #42 overall recruit • Jonathan Lawson (6'6" 180) - #96 overall recruit • Sam Ayomide (7'0" 250) - #117 overall recruit • John Camden (6'7" 200) - #143 overall recruit lol "run through the AAC". it looks good on paper.

He might "offer" them but he dont like to get one and dones unless its the right situation. example would be bryce griggs for the 2022 class. we probably wont get him but the fit makes sense. sampson is all about building a program and having those players here more than 1 year. thats one reason why penny hasnt made memphis legit his 3 years here. In 8 recruiting cycles with Sampson leading the program Houston has legit landed one recruit ranked in the top 100, lol. So he just offers scholarships to players for ish and giggles? Why did he offer 16 top 100 recruits an opportunity to play at Houston over the last two years, because he didn't want them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to be so big and athletic, the only questionable thing about that potential team is they really don't have any good guards.
