Nick Richards - All American

[uky8unc5]

I never ever saw this coming.
So proud of and happy for this Kid.

 

[MegaBlue05]

Damn right.

Hard work and patience pays off. Great life lesson.

 

[UKxWildcats]

He’s an absolute monster

 

[TurnipDaBeet]

Yup

 

[RoyKent]

You may be right. He’s been insane.

 

[ala_kat2]

He almost single-handledly won the game in overtime. He’s come so far!

 

[BassProCat]

Can’t argue that at all!!!!!!

 

[STL_Cat]

Nick ****** Richards

 

[westerncat]

I remember many on this board saying he was not a good player.

 

[ukalum1988]

Really proud of how he has persevered and developed into a great player.

Nick ****in Richards

Big D!ck Nick...letting it hang real low today.

 

[NCPurplecat]

Nick Is becoming a UK legend. Ok that is a lot to say in January but ewhat a day he had. Any top front line player in high school looking to see how UK could help them get to the next level needs to see what is unfolding in front of us.

 

[uky8unc5]

I remember many on this board saying he was not a good player.

I was one of them!
That's why I sit in a Recliner instead on the Bench.

 

[GLR5555]

Who da thunk it?

 

[IYAOYAS1]

NON STOP MOTOR!!!!

 

[paul.ksr]

All those that wrote him off last year need a full plate of crow now

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

Dude is a stud all American, sec player of the year. Hagans right there with him.

 

[ukfan041]

SEC POY

 

[jrpross_rivals]

His transformation this year has been unreal. Mentally more than anything. He actually demands the ball now. And he knows what to do with it.

 

[bigbluefattycat]

Yes. Reward the kids that stick with it. What a story today. Yesterday we have a quitter and today we have the kid that refused to quit.

 

[kEpNrEeL]

Tonight made him and all American candidate no doubt.

 

[westerncat]

It's been fun watching this kid grow in a great player.

 

[cal=8]

Very happy for Nick.. Watching him develop has been a pleasure.. Can't wait to watch him carry us to #9..

 

[fredmanthecatfan]

He should be a lesson for both fans and young players. If you put in the work, you can get a lot better. Just because you don’t have a monster freshman or even sophomore season doesn’t mean you can’t become a monster success.

 

[G-PIP]

Love the Nick Richards story and the player. What an awesome game.

 

[jrpross_rivals]

Big D!ck Nick...letting it hang real low today.

Nick is like....

 

[wildcat1515]

Definitely not going to win many without him.

 

[westerncat]

May be playing his way into 1st Round.

 

[Atrain7732]

I never ever saw this coming.
So proud of and happy for this Kid.

I said in the game thread I would have we ever thunk it. He has risen to be the alpha dog that Cal always said he could be.

it’s even sweeter when the guys who stay achieve this type of level. So happy for the kid.

After tonight’s game where he clinched with those free throws not even hitting the rim, and talking trash to the crowd we all know he is the man moving forward.

 

[revcort]

Yep, his transformation is the reason we're a legit contender. That was a HUGE win!

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand_rivals116236]

Never saw it coming. Will gladly admit I was wrong. I never expected him to stay this long & develop. Major props & respect to him!

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

I never ever saw this coming.
So proud of and happy for this Kid.

Man me to!!! He is ballin out

 

[BlueBloodKyFan73]

I’ve BASHED this young man for Two years BRING THE THUNDER YOUNG ONE!!!

 

[420grover]

He could've had 35-40 points if they would've kept feeding him instead of Maxey jacking crap up.

 

[SophiesDad]

Richards 1st couple years...didn’t complain, didn’t pout, has worked his azz off and made himself a lot of $$ this year. Proud as hell of him

 

[Shaudylo]

Hard Work in the offseason

 

[WitnessGreatness]

 

[Catzman]

I remember many on this board saying he was not a good player.

He wasn't. Now he is.

 

[Hoskins91_rivals]

I remember many on this board saying he was not a good player.

He wasn’t.

 

[On-On-UK_rivals45415]

Amen, brother!
