On DJ White's improvement in rebounding this season

"I don't think DJ saw himself as a rebounder last year. He has transformed his game this year."

He went on to say DJ came back to school for the right reasons - getting stronger, playing the Pan-Am games (Sampson stressed how hard DJ prepared for the tryouts and how that has carried over to this year).

 

"It's going to get tougher on him now," Sampson said, noting that teams will begin to focus on DJ's rebounding.

 

Sampson said he thinks about DJ getting fizzled out because of the summer and the grind of the season.

"DJ knows where to rest himself and when to push himself. I worry more about Jamarcus, DeAndre, Jordan or Eric."
