Richard with the “shake and bake” impressed me years ago and with her heading to LSU next season, she will bring the ability to fit into whatever system she’s placed in, that ain’t easy but neither is trying to guard her. She shows the slight HEZ to get the defender to lean yet her body control attacking the basket enables her to finish strongly after contact. She also has solid court vision, in the set as well as in transition, but her stop and pop jumper is also solid, so is her baseline to baseline pressure

She’s a Jr and she has three State Championships under her belt.  In her most recent tittle game she lead her Lady Knights to victory finishing with 32 points over St Louis Catholic.  One of if not the most consistent players in the state night end and night out, Richard done it all in her Junior year averaging 28.1 points, 5.2 Rebounds and 5.1 Steals per game! Look for her to lead the Lady Knights to a fourth straight state tittle in her senior while also winning honors like the Gatorade Player of the year. Its all possible.
