University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson on players graduating: "All our kids graduate every year. Every year. Our graduation rate is probably over 90 percent, because I can count on one hand the ones who haven't graduated. . . Kingston (Flemings) will go to the NBA, he's not going to graduate. (NBA Lottery prospect) Chris (Cenac Jr.) won't graduate. But hopefully one day they will.
"But all the kids that stay here will graduate. You play four years here, you're going to graduate. And it's not because of me or our program. It's because of their mothers and fathers. I had a great college coach. He had nothing to do me graduating from college.
"That's my Mom and Daddy. "
