Expert Analysis
Brian Jerzak | Prep Redzone Scout
Ranked 32nd on prephoops.comrnRichardson’s future looks to be on the basketball court, but if he wanted to, football programs would be lining up for this guy. He is one of those guys whose basketball skills translate seamlessly onto the football field. He has good straight-line speed, but his body control and length make him dangerous when he runs deep. He is a nightmare for defenders in the red zone as – again – his length makes him a tough cover, but his basketball instincts make him a great ‘rebounder’ in the red zone. He is not just an outside the hashmarks guy either. Richardson has no problem going over the middle and taking contact if needed. The junior is averaging nearly ten points a game for the 13-3 Skippers.

Read EvaluationOliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
The Minnetonka two-sport standout, who moonlights as a stud hooper for the Skippers varsity, does not have an updated, condensed highlight tape from this fall, but there are enough clips of him playing football to get a bit of a sense of the sophomore. Plus, there’s the basketball tape, which show off a good athlete with a smooth shot and a quick crossover when driving to the hoop, and in his limited football tape that COD skill when he breaks off his routes. Also burned an Edina DB for a 30-yard score in a big matchup last fall. I really hope Richardson makes a football tape soon.
