Kelvin Sampson isn't coaching colege ball any more, but evidence of his touch is all over the NCAA tournament.
Armon Bassett who helped lead Ohio to the 2nd round, and Jordan Crawford, the Star for Xavier, both were at Indiana and left when Sampson was fired. Devin Ebanks was committed and signed there when Sampson left, and was released from his LOI.
Here is an article about these 2 and others.-

I noticed 1 other former player- Ben Allen, the starting center for St. Mary's also played under Sampson at Indiana.
