Why not? It's a rich area and they'll be able to attract business traffic and leisure traffic as well they would also be able to siphon off BA customers heading up to Heathrow.
They set up a base at Southend so they aren't that adverse to setting up at the smaller regional airports and they have aircraft that can operate from the airport. If the airport could negotiate the right deal with them i don't see why not Easyjet wouldn't consider basing at Southampton in the next couple of years.
