Houston Cougars men's basketball head coach Kelvin Sampson joins The Matt Thomas Show to discuss his recruiting philosophy. "It starts with their character," Sampson said. "They know what they're getting into," so "I don't have to motivate these kids, they motivate themselves."
Sampson also emphasizes the importance of recruiting within Houston. "The city of Houston is always our first priority," and "we've been recruiting the best kids out of this city for years."
The Houston Cougars will travel to Lawrence to take on the Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday. Sampson previews the matchup and the team's goal of reaching the Final Four.
