Five-Star Guard RJ Hampton Reclassifies To 2019, Drops Duke From List

Five-star guard RJ Hampton has announced plans to reclassify to the Class of 2019.

Hampton, who plays for Little Elm (Tex.) High School, has also dropped Duke from his final list.

The final four schools for Hampton are now Kentucky, Kansas, Memphis and Texas Tech.

Here is an excerpt from Evan Daniels of 247Sports:




Hampton, a 6-foot-5 combination guard out of Little Elm (Tex.) High, has been contemplating this move for the past year. His play at EYBL this past weekend, helped solidify the move. Hampton was second in scoring during the league, averaging 28.8 points a game.

“He was a shining star,” he added. “There was nobody that was better than him. He held his own. I just felt like if he was going than he needed to do it.”

Now Hampton’s attention turns to which college he wants to attend in the fall. His list, according to his father, currently sits at four.

“It’s going to be Kentucky, Kansas, Memphis and we took off Duke and added Texas Tech,” the elder Hampton told 247Sports.
