One site in New York reported that Sampson would be doing another year of prep school at Brewster Academy (N.H.), and would not suit up for the Red Storm next season.

Sampson’s prep school and AAU coaches refuted the story.

"Jakarr is a senior and will graduate in May," Brewster head coach Jason Smith said. "He’s signed with St. John’s and looks forward to joining them this summer/fall."
