A recent article highlighting Clemson's cornerback Ashton Hampton has sent shockwaves through the college football world, but what does it mean for California high school football? Local coaches are taking a closer look at Clemson's roster-building strategy, particularly how they identify and recruit top talent from the Golden State.
