Hampton reminds me of Rudy Gay.

[Son_Of_Saul]

I've seen listings of Hampton being closer to 6'7" than he is 6'6". Rudy Gay was 6'8" when he played for Calhoun. Hampton is precisely the type of player that eluded Calipari for most of his career - the spidery 6'6" to 6'8" pure wing who can guard three positions on the floor. His long arms are Pippen-esque but his offensive game is very much RG-like.

Hampton is such a huge get. I'm ecstatic. This is what Kentucky should be doing every year in recruiting, and it feels good knowing that he could be the cornerstone piece for Pope to turn this program around.

He may one day be Rudy Gay....but UK needs him to be a fantastic wing in 2027...because he'll be moving on.

His brother RJ Hampton is really similar, but was more of a CG.

I love the fact that his cousin is the number ONE player in the nation! From the sounds of it, they’re like brothers. Man, oh man! Lock his *** up Pope!

Hampton's commitment helps tremendously in Spears recruitment.

To be a fly on the wall and listen to Hampton (his dad as well) telling Spears how blown away they were during the OV.!!!

Now amplify that with the announcement of Crawford!!!

Agreed! This is the prototype of hybrid G/ Wing that K was notorious for getting during his battles with Calipari 10-12 years ago!

Reminds me of Keldon Johnson. One year at UK then 29th pick to Spurs. At UK, 13.5 ppg 5.9 rbd, 46% floor, 38% 3. 6'6, slender like Hampton

His wingspan is probably bigger. Think it’s a plus 3 wingspan.

7'3 span, yikes, tripod maybe?

Agreed. Good Comparison.

I could see it. He was a monster at UConn.

Your fingers to Gods ears. This class is supposed to stronger than last years class as well right?

+3 means his wingspan is 3 inches longer than his height. So if he’s 6’6” a plus 3 wingspan would be 6’9”.

I'm not sure what his measurables are, but Gay was a really long 6'8". I believe he played two years as well. Left that program with one of their most embarrasing losses in program history, George Mason to go to the F4. 7'3" wingspan and 40 inch vertical leap. Those are amazing. He lacked killer instinct.
