Hampton is one of the reasons I feel good about our Defense this year

Cocky_Knight · 03-21-2013, 08:25 AM

Great read!! Sometimes guys just grow up. I'm glad we gave him the opportunity.

FanofCarolina1 · 03-21-2013, 08:43 AM

This makes me excited to see how well he does this season.

Really nice read on Vic. I've been a fan of his since he got here and I am glad he is maturing and figuring things out. I'm ready to see him be a dominant corner for the Cocks!

I got drunk and puked in a drywall bucket on my 21st birthday. Glad to see Vic is ahead of where I was.

Everyone makes mistakes, learning from them is what is important.

Good to hear he has been a solid guy since his early struggles.
I really think this will be his breakout year, and it wouldn't surprise me if he goes to the draft after this season...as a high pick..
I think he has all the tools and ability...he just has to go out there and do it...and I think he will.

Grady Brown should get a lot of credit for helping Vic along.

MillerTime843 · 03-21-2013, 11:45 AM

He reminds me of Johnathan Joseph

Mistake? I do that every Saturday.

ConwayGamecock · 03-21-2013, 12:48 PM

Our passing defense took a slight dip in '12 from it's #2 in nation ranking in '11, but we had a fairly new secondary, with new starters Hampton and Legree at corner, and Williams at SS. Still it was ranked 21st, which was still better than solid. Only Swearinger returned from the '11 group, and now he's gone which will be huge shoes to fill, but we get those other 3 back with a season under their belts. Plus will have some good depth that's also got some experience and time in the program (Elder, Moody, Christian, Gurley, Marcus, Fleetwood, McWilliams, Martin). Get either Kadetrix or T.J. situated at FS, and we could have another top-10 passing defense next season....

Was that the last drywall bucket available, or something?

Puking in a drywall bucket is a mistake..? Sounds like a party to me. Glad to see Vic doing well. We are gonna need his leadership in the secondary with the loss of Swearinger.

Keep it going Vic!

I did some of that past 21. I can never throw any stones and any of them.
