Of the young generation (people in their ~30s) I'd be surprised if anyone is even close to Will Baude in cite count, though I might be forgetting someone. I'd guess maybe Jamal Greene and Steve Sachs are next?

Fair. I'd put Richard Epstein, Orin Kerr, and Volokh on Will Baude level.

I'd also toss in James Stern of W&M.
