Looking at West Coast Corners, there's a huge drop off from the elite guys to the mid-low 3 stars. Among the 3 star guys, Lake clearly picked Hampton as his favorite. At this point you kinda have to trust Lake's evals, and it looks like he got the developmental DB that he wanted.As long as we can get at least one of Gordon/Irvin/Addison this DB class is pretty good. And if we get two of them then this DB class is awesome. Hampton's nothing special though, hopefully his Senior tape shows whatever Lake saw in him at camp.

My fingers are crossed for a Byron Murphy type surprise that comes out of nowhere. I think it was mentioned somewhere on the bored that we? were doing better for Taylor-Stuart than most thought. That would be awesome.
I like his size, but wasn't blown away by the highlight film. Yeah it's hard to gauge it when half the plays are just simple run defense, and the other half is just play that isn't flashy. What you can see is the mobility and athleticism. Obviously that camp paid dividends for him. I trust Jimmy Lake's opinion more than anyone on this bored...including me.

Not a fan tbh. Kentrell Love's hudl is straight up porn compared to this kid. If we still get Gordon and Irvin it's kind of whatever but I feel like we should aim much higher than this. Who cares how tall he is when his hudl puts you to sleep? This whole tall corner fad is bullshit anyway. Pete Carroll somehow convinced himself that the only reason he couldn't play in the pros is because he's short, so he drafted a bunch of tall corners, exactly one of which turned out good.Get good players first. After that you can care about what traits you want.
And who's to say this kid stays a 3 star. Top corner prospect in Az, has to count for something. Unless Az is a drek this year
And who's to say this kid stays a 3 star. Top corner prospect in Az, has to count for something. Unless Az is a drek this year AZ generally has only a few more 4/5 stars per year than WA.

How do the Poly totals stack up? I'd guess Washington has more Polys but I don't really know Arizona demographics other than they obviously have more Hispanics than us.

I hear US Quick Facts is a great source
Chinteresting that he wants to wait until February to sign. My guess is that if he doesn't sign in December, we'll start recruiting other CBs to possibly take his spot.

Red flag alert Tells me he leaves if Lake leaves I agree, but I'm not that worried about Lake leaving. We've priced him out of anything but a non-P5 head coaching position or a P5 DC position. He already declined Cal. Sure Cal sucks, but do you see him getting any offers to be a Head Coach without being a true DC yet? I don't. Do you see him getting offered a DC position at a top-half P5 school? Possibly, but I think that's a long shot.
