He did officially visit the weekend after Sampson but I think that was always planned b/c he had unofficially visited in November prior to his Dec visit.  The timing of things I think was just coincidental.  His recruitment from what I remember was very under the radar though and we were on the outside looking in.  In July of that year his top6 didn't even include Syracuse.  It was like Pitt, BC, Oregon St, Kentucky, Iowa St and someone else.

Kid had started every game for Detroit Jesuit since his sophomore season.  2x All-State and All-Detroit.  He was pretty highly regarded.  If the reports were right he ended up having offers from Iowa, Iowa St, Pittsburgh, BC, Minnesota, Kentucky, Indiana, Vandy, Oregon St, Purdue, Illinois.  Way more P5 offers than Sampson had...ended up being a great consolation prize ;-)
