Akeem Richmond to Rhode Island

[tropicalshox]

Richmond is a 6-0 SG/PG from Sanford N.C (Southern Lee HS). The Rivals 3 star, Scout 2 star claims offers from WSU, LSU, Central Florida, Georgia Tech, Georgia State and Syracuse. His favorites are Syracuse and LSU with Syracuse probably #1. But, "If Tennessee were to offer, I'd commit."

ESPN says he has been a big time scorer for years but does need to work on his shot selection.

LOL ... Yes, we beat his favorites, and I have never viewed Syracuse and Tennessee in the same light since then.

There probably is no longer interest between WSU and Richardson. Alex Schwartz of Northstarbball.com reports his schools are currently Syracuse, Western Kentucky, South Carolina, Nebraska, Florida, West Carolina and East Carolina with Syracuse and Western Kentucky his top two. The only offers listed are from Syracuse, Western Kentucky, Nebraska and East Carolina.

Richmond says the final two are Tennessee and Western Kentucky. He has an official visit planned for Tennessee on the 20th.

He apparently didn't get what he was hoping for.

It definitely is an example of life's lesson: "You don't always get what you want!"
