KELLOGG ON CARTER:
"Sampson is a young man I have known for a long time. I actually had him in summer camp at Memphis way back when he was 10 years old. I have watched him grow from a young kid to a great young man. His maturation process is something that I have watched closely. He brings tremendous versatility to the program. He is a very long and athletic 6-8 player who can play multiple positions. He hasn't totally filled out to become a complete player yet, but he has all the attributes that we are looking for here at UMass. As much as anything, I love him as a person and I think he is going to be a great addition to our program. He can be a player that by his sophomore or junior year we will really be able to rely on him to be a high-level player. He is very long and athletic, but can really handle the ball. He shoots the ball fairly well. He just needs to work on being physically ready to play at the college level. Sampson wants to be able to come to UMass and make an impact as a freshman. He will have the opportunity and I'm excited to coach him because he has the type of length and size and athleticism that fits in very well for the dribble-drive offense."
