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.whuggy said:How do Stanley and Hampton compare? Appear to physically

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?Dennis_DeYoung said:

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.whuggy said:

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.whuggy said:

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 -
King had pretty bad instincts at safety because he had played corner in high school. I remember him getting absolutely burned by Paul Richardson as a true freshman.Houhusky said:

Most hated him during Pete’s first year too. It wasn’t until the middle of his junior year that we started recognizing he was good. -

The question for me with instincts is why are they bad. Are they bad because you just haven't gotten enough reps? Are they bad because you aren't getting good coaching? Or are they bad because you're a mental midget and things just don't click for you?
If it's either of the first 2, you can overcome them with time in the program and potentially be a contributor at some point. If it's the mental midget side of things, then the odds of it ever clicking is about zero and you're destined to be one of those athletes that lucks into a few plays but always leaves you massively underwhelmed.
In a normal situation, if you're in the UW program, that kind of player will almost always get passed at some point by our typical recruit. -
Instincts and football IQ are so fucking underrated in scouting. They can be improved, but for the most part, they are what they are.Tequilla said:The question for me with instincts is why are they bad. Are they bad because you just haven't gotten enough reps?

You’re an IMA legend, so I’ll give you a hoops comparison. Guys with court vision, that understand floor spacing, and are consistently in good help side defensive positioning are valuable. Most guys have it or don’t.
In football, guys that time their blitzes, disguise coverages, anticipate and avoid blocks
We need guys with both instincts and talent. It’s easier said than done. I think both Pete and coach K are such good coaches they know they can win with guys like BBK and Myles Bryant. Both those guys are very smart football players.
Ultimately, if we want to win a natty, we are going to play Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson type teams. BBK is probably as instinctual of a player as Rueben Foster. We all know what the difference is.
I don’t always agree with Dennis, but he’s 100% right that we need more talent. We have the coaching. We need more talent and a NFL type at QB. That’s the formula for UW. -

Not all instincts are just natural ... but there are certain ones that are. They really do matter because if you can read a play and react to it it makes you faster than you really are -

After watching Stanley a bit more, one thing I like about him is that they have him punt and throw trick-play passes.
At first that might seem like nothing, but it speaks to how much they trust him. A lot of athletic kids who can't play football don't get trusted with that sort of thing.
The fact they let him punt tells you they think he is a smart player.
That's something I like about him.
And he has really good change-of-direction quickness.
One thing I'm always looking for in defenders is guys who instinctively cut down angles so the ball-carrier is trapped and can't do what he wants. That's where Stanley lacks, to me. We teach angles all the time, so it should improve, but it's something that some guys just do instinctively.
It's what made Budda so devastating. Guys just couldn't get around him. -

He's obviously #3 on the remaining DB list, but I won't be upset if he's the third best DB in the class. Second best DB would be a problem. -
With all due respect, this is the dumest thing you've ever said. You're reading too much into it. I don't GAF is he can punt and run trick plays.

Fun fact: John Timu, who dropped more pick 6's than he caught, was also a high school punter, QB and LB.

Stanley has pretty unreal acceleration. Strikes me as guy who should be good breaking on the ball from zone coverage. More of a Sidney Jones type in that regard. Hampton is a big guy who has enough long speed to stick with X recievers in man coverage. I actually think Stanley is more athletic than Sidney, but what makes Sidney great is his instincts.
One thing I really like about Stanley is that he seems to be a decent route-runner for a high school kid, and has some feel for beating zone coverage as a WR. That shit translates to the defensive side. If you know how to beat zone as a WR, you know how to bait QBs as a DB. He hardly has any defensive highlights, though. He's not coming here if he wants to play offense.
