Hampton is a DDY3. He's a big fat fucking deal. We'll see if we can close fucking anything at DB this year.Swaye said:
Jesus fucking Christ. He is the only moderately elite DB we have committed, or were likely to get (based on Gordon reporting). I recall last summer you and Coker thinking this could be an epic class - Gordon, Harrison, Irvin, etc. Talk about a thud finish. WTF Lake?Dennis_DeYoung said:I'm moving this guy off the commit list because he's said he doesn't plan to sign on D20 and is still 'seeing what else is out there'.
If he reaffirms on D15, then he'll go back on. But right now he's not a commit in the sense we are used to.
I'm skeptical, but Lake is still liking Malik Putney poasts on twitter. It doesn't inspire confidence. -
His latest tweet is an in-home with Lake, he's liking UW stuff, he has an OV on the 15th, and hasn't removed committed from his bio or background. I'd say it's probably NBD.

Wrong. He's said publicly, multiple times he's not signing on D20.jhfstyle24 said:His latest tweet is an in-home with Lake, he's liking UW stuff, he has an OV on the 15th, and hasn't removed committed from his bio or background. I'd say it's probably NBD.
If this kid doesn't sign on D20 he's going to get offered by Bama, Notre Dame, Georgia (who I'm really worried about here because he's originally from GA), Auburn, etc.
The issue is not that he likes us—I think he does—the issue is that once he shows he's not committed, every school in the country that needs a DB will be up his ass. -

Also - I wanted to add, right now I guarantee you no one is trying very hard with him. It wouldn't make sense to.
Because if you try hard with him now, you're wasting your time if he's going to sign with UW. And 10 days of missed recruiting won't mean shit, ultimately.
However, if you see he doesn't sign, you KNOW he's not committed and you can really start your effort. -
Hampton doesn't have to worry about Lake going to UCLA.

From what I’m seeing and reading tea leaves, it looks like we are making a strong push to be materially done with recruiting by the early signing period and getting a leg up on 2019 and maybe even 2020 recruiting.Dennis_DeYoung said:I'm moving this guy off the commit list because he's said he doesn't plan to sign on D20 and is still 'seeing what else is out there'.

Dennis and I were talking yesterday and it’s almost impossible to conclude that if Hampton backs out and Gordon doesn’t come that that’s as much proof as you need to conclude that Lake is essentially damaged goods for UW because EVERYBODY knows he has greater ambitions. Who would have ever thought this 24 months ago, but it’s quite possible that we may be better off without Lake sooner than later -
Nobody is worried about Lake leaving for a DB jobUWhuskytskeet said:Hampton doesn't have to worry about Lake going to UCLA.
