LSU junior guard Brandon Sampson has opted to enter his name and has signed with an agent, ending his college eligibility after three seasons, a source confirmed to NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune.
ESPN's Jeff Goodman first reported the news.
The 6-foot-5, 184-pound Sampson had an up-and-down career at LSU after coming to the Tigers in 2015-16 as a top-50 prospect out of Madison Prep.
Sampson averaged 4.0 points and 1.2 rebounds as a freshman and upped his average to 11.6 points when he started 26 games as a sophomore.
Entering his junior season, Sampson had a chance to play a major role for new coach Will Wade but after badly spraining his ankle in the Maui Invitational against Notre Dame, Sampson never quite got back into a groove again.
