I'd guess he is legitimately 5'8". He was the best HS defensive player I've ever seen in the state of MN. He ended up playing a lot as a true FR at WMU (had a great game against us). [


Not close to the best I've seen in the state. Unfortunately ohio St., Stanford, Have the best I've seen come out of Mn.

Is Bob_Loblaw aware of this?

Nope. I had no idea. I am pretty surprised, he got quite a bit of run at WMU. He must've gotten homesick or something.

Well, I saw Tarpley and Harden play in HS, Harden was more dominant (IMO).

Obviously he didn't have the frame or type of talent to really transfer to college the same way Tarpley has.

Could be a big-time game-changer. Love his size and speed. I think it was only a matter of time before the rest of the B1G and SEC started looking at Richardson. Probably not NFL measurables, but could easily become one of the best DTs in the league before it's all said and done. Also, you can't measure heart.

Kill proves once again that's he's an amazing recruiter and understands that universally good players -- not just those that "fit his system" -- are the best way to build a winning program. We now have a 4 star, a 3 star and one of the top rising interior defensive players in the nation committed for this class.
