Nick Richards... “You’ve come a long way Baby” like the old commercial said. He has improved every year, especially since last year. IMO the key was learning to play without getting in foul trouble. Kenny Payne has really helped him with his inside game and footwork. Also, his hands are a lot better; I remember he had trouble dunking the ball his first year... I love seeing players return and develop, just like in the old days.
the last 2 games they have called 4 phatom fouls on him so he will still have to learn to play with fouls whether he actually fouls or not but you are correct. He is now a 1st rounder by year's end just watch.

Nick played with heart and pride today. No way he was going to let the dirty birds win. He was a f*cking warrior today...point...blank...period.

Was an absolute beast today. Loved it and you could see his confidence grow on the court thru the game.

Especially enjoy his play today after all we heard all week was that UL had a huge advantage in the post. Moron Rick Bozich making a big deal that UK didn’t recruit Sutton—that’s why they didn’t recruit Sutton. We have 2 five star players down low. We didn’t need him.

Nick was fired you but was able to control himself defensively and kept his composure. In the past he has had trouble keeping it together when he is fired up.

Man I really am happy for him I know he’s had a tough go. Hope this is the point we all look back on where he broke out and became the man we all were waiting for. Hopefully EJ will be next.

We can be a really good team if Maxey and Richards play like this most games the rest of the way.

It was the UL game that Shea had his coming out party! He could’ve scored more if they had gotten the ball to him more! There was two times when he and EJ both had guards on them!

Again, he’s just making normal progress for a guy who’s only been playing ball for a few years. If he sticks one more year, he’ll make even greater progress.

But if he leaves I’ll at least understand.

This is why I say the Ohio State game is a throw away game. Richards got those BS foul calls which turned the game, he would’ve made a big difference vs the big guys last week.

Never let it be said again that a ball player with bad hands can't fix it. Nick did. No more butter on his fingers...
