Ryan Hampton leaves DME Academy to play for Rockwall-Heath

Ryan Hampton, a five-star class of 2027 basketball recruit and Kentucky commit, announced his return to Rockwall, Texas, to play for Rockwall-Heath High School. The decision follows three years with DME Academy, where Hampton solidified his status as one of the top recruits, ranked 14th nationally and fourth among small forwards. He cited the desire to work closely with his hometown trainers and compete alongside friends. This shift represents a significant loss for DME Academy, which will now rely on three-star recruit Tref Rademaker as its top returning player.
