Five-star combo guard RJ Hampton will reclassify to the class of 2019 and forgo his senior high school season, Hampton announced Tuesday.
Hampton's father Rod told 247Sports that his son's recent performances for Team USA and on the Nike EYBL circuit prompted the decision to depart from high school a year early. Hampton played at EYBL this past weekend and dropped 41 points and six assists during one of his showcase games.
The Little Elm, Texas native has averaged 28.8 points a game, good for second in scoring in the EYBL.
“We talked about it before this weekend and then on the plane on the way back, and he [RJ] said he didn’t have anything left for high school,” Rod told 247.
