Brandon Sampson made his commitment to St. John's Red Storm
Sampson, a 6-foot-4 guard, is ranked No. 32 in the ESPN 100.
The St. John's Red Storm needed a momentum boost in the 2015 class -- and they got it Monday morning.
Brandon Sampson, one of the best guards remaining on the board, made his commitment to Steve Lavin and the Red Storm.
"They've been recruiting him since the ninth grade, so he has a great relationship with them," Madison Prep coach Jeff Jones said. "He wanted to make an immediate impact as a freshman, and St. John's afforded him that opportunity. On his official visit, he looked forward to playing in Madison Square Garden. He just felt like St. John's was the best spot for him."
Sampson, a 6-foot-4 guard, is ranked No. 32 in the ESPN 100. He chose St. John's over California and USC. LSU was also in the mix, but the Tigers prioritized Antonio Blakeney and picked up a commitment earlier this month.
