Kellen: “Prospects only remember us being successful”

Saturday’s 89-55 win over Jackson State pushed the #3 (AP, #2 Coaches Poll) to 10-0 for the season. JoJo Tugler had a monster game despite not taking a shot. The true freshman had nine rebounds (five offensive), three steals, and a block. Kelvin Sampson praised him after the game.

JoJo is one of those recruiting victories that have been vital to UH. On Friday, I had a one-on-one interview with Kellen Sampson. We broke it into two parts (you can find the first part here).

In today’s video, Kellen talks about beginning a relationship with a prospect, how the sales pitch has changed as UH has become more successful, and scouting opponents, an often overlooked part of an assistant coach’s duties.

A must-watch for Houston Cougar fans:
