    Stanley is a nice looking athlete who moves nimbly. A guy who probably would be good eventually for us, but doesn't have great instincts. DDY2. Right in the middle.

    Hampton, who I was meh on until I saw him as a senior, is a totally different level. He's the #2 corner in the west (according to me, Coker and some other smart people) and his body and agility are rare. The guy has crazy instincts and fast twitch movement. He's a DDY3 and what I think would be close to a 5* guy.

    Stanley is a guy you take because you see athleticism and you think you can turn it into a DB.

    Hampton is a guy who - if he can get to 200 lbs - will look like Patrick Peterson.
    So can Stanley get to Kevin King territory?

    Really different physically than Kev King. Des Trufant would be the high end for a kid like Stanley. I’m not sure he has the instincts, though.

    I'm talking about Kevin King who came in pretty
    lightly regarded as a recruit. Could he have the same
    trajectory considering the quality of coaching he will
    receive?

    King was physically rare in that he wasn’t tall and crazy athletic. So to answer your question they appear nothing alike. Look at kings measurablea and combine numbers.

    Many people here forget that King came in weighing like 150 lbs and inspired the term "Long Neck"

    FYI at the NFL combine he weighed in at 200lbs and had the top CB time for 3 cone, 20yrd shuttle, 60yrd shuttle, and the 2nd best Vert.

    Dude went from a nobody 3 star tall JAG playing CB because he was too weak to play safety to an amazing college CB and so-far a pretty good NFL CB.

    Perfect example of scouting an athlete, developing, and coaching a guy that would have likely just disappeared if left to squander natural ability at SDSU or Cal
    Great comments. Pretty much what I was driving at.
