To me this makes perfect sense. Dude has a ton of natural talent but is still a bit raw and unpolished, hence his 3 star rating. That type of dude can run with the 1’s and his talent will show but he will also get beat some due to being a bit raw. BUT…give this guy a couple years in the system getting coached up so that his fundamentals match his raw talent and you have a solid starter or good back up by his junior and senior year.
This is why I don’t freak out when we don’t have 23 five stars on signing day. Everyone can’t be a starter. You need developmental players too that know they won’t be starting right away but are still busting their arse to get to that point . These are the guys that fill out the practice squads and help the starters get ready.

TL/DR…Stamps is a dude and will be huge contributor during his time at LSU
