Nick Richards

Solid game offense and defense-No butter hands!!

We need to see that consistency game in and game out, and he has to stay out of foul trouble which is hard for a guy his size. He's a great rebounder and is great at shooting fts. He's further along than dakari was if he continues to improve Moses brown come on down but if he doesn't stay consistent in his play especially when we play in big games I'll welcome him back for a second season no problem. Skj is looking good as well and by next yr we may need him to start as we don't have a solid center lined up for next yr yet

First time checking in since watching the game. So glad to see all the much deserved love for Nick!

I listened to Cal's radio show this week and he was talking about some of the players playing like they had the weight of the world on their shoulders. Glad to see Nick taking Cal's advice and playing loose like he has nothing to lose.

Richards is talented, no doubt and it was great to see him so engaged, just playing and reacting to the game.

He started previous game with 4 boards in first 4 minutes and then got in foul trouble. Only played 12 minutes

Gotta love small sample size theater. After one outstanding performance, Richards went from a role player to objectively our most productive player per minute.

Just remember big men always seem to take the longest under Cal....Towns didn't really hit his stride until Midway. Glad to see a glimpse with Richards, hope he can build on this!

Played a great game all around. Keep on improving big guy.

Vanderbilt will have no bearing on Richards. I think most of y'all really don't get what Vanderbilt is as a player. This is a kid with a handle good enough to play pg. He will play the one thru 4 could play the 5 some if we needed him. The two who need to be concerned Vanderbilt comes back are Gabriel and Washington.
