Sam is currently ranked 158th nationally, according to 247 sports and had many offers from major programs, including Arizona State, Cal, Mizzou, Ole Miss, and Florida State. Despite those offers, Sam’s top three choices were Washington, UCF, and of course SDSU.

Over the summer, head coach Brian Dutcher hosted him on a visit, which was one of three visits that Precious took. According to Sam, he chose San Diego State as he felt like the program was a family.
Brian Dutcher, as well as others in the coaching staff always attended his AAU games and were great in keeping in touch with him. That stood out to him as the connection with Dutcher felt greater than his connections with other coaches.
When it comes to San Diego State commits from the 2027 class, Precious Sam is the second recruit that Brian Dutcher has landed so far. Davey Harris, a 6 ‘5 forward from Los Angeles committed to San Diego State back in September.
