About

Currently a Sports Writing Intern here at the Bleacher Report, looking to break into the sports journalism world. I am a college basketball fanatic who focuses on the recruiting aspect. I also write for C2CRecruiting.com, NBADraft.net, and nationalhoopsreport.net writing about either college or high school basketball. Email me with writing opportunities at eric.hampford@gmail.com

College basketball recruiting is my specialty, and where my passion is. I've been analyzing high school basketball since about 5th grade, and it's a bit of an obsession. I am also addicted to the game of college basketball, and have been known to go into hibernation every year during March Madness.
