FWIW, Robert Sampson -- the 6-8 son of Ralph Sampson -- just announced that he was transferring from East Carolina to Georgia Tech.

He averaged a 9.1 ppg and a team-high 9.2 rpg for a 23-win ECU team last season.

He will sit out next season and be eligible in 2014-15. He'll have two seasons of eligibility at Georgia Tech.

FWIW, Robert Sampson -- the 6-8 son of Ralph Sampson -- just announced that he was transferring from East Carolina to Georgia Tech.

Recruiter to head coach: "Yeah kid is pretty good and his dad played college ball."
Head Coach: "Is he tall enough? I hear he's 8 inches shorter than his dad."

On a serious note, wonder if transfer has to do with Terry Holland retiring? Probably not.
