Ashandarei 0 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Trent Richardson from Pensacola 5'11 210 4.5 - 40. Man I am glad we got him and you guys didn't. He looks mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Get a pic of him the first time he sees Blackmon eyeball to eyeball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopie 6 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 This guy is highly rated and big. Most folks on here don't agree with me but AU has not offered to many big RBs and most of the highly rated ones are already committed. This is another one that got away.

Ashandarei 0 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 James Willis was the one after him. I don't care that he does work for AU, he's a good recruiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 We probably lost Richardson when we recently signed Rodney Scott, also out of Fla. Not sour grapes but Scott at 190# with 4.4 speed is probably a better fit for our new offense than a bigger RB like Richardson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sour grapes but Scott at 190# with 4.4 speed is probably a better fit for our new offense than a bigger RB like Richardson. Especially since we already have Eric Smith who is more in the FB mold, and Ben Tate for another 2 years. Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm gonna trust the AU coaches decisions on who they wanna go after heavily at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigeremt 6,660 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Good luck to the kid. IF he can stay out of JAIL, and IF he can make the grade, and IF he can actually help Bama win the all important BBNC, then he will be worth at least three more losses to Auburn . Make it four.

whiteplainstiger 0 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I noticed Rivals listed him a soft committment to the Bammers. Does that mean he still plans to visit other schools and could still wind up somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he just likes Bama (they got on him first) and its a good fit for him. He'll take visits so its definitely not over but I think he ends up at Bama.

subterranean_jack 112 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 What's the Bama depth chart look like at RB for 2009? Is this kid gonna get immediate PT? Looks like he could contribute right away, depending who is ahead of him on the depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UA-CT 1 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 What's the Bama depth chart look like at RB for 2009? Is this kid gonna get immediate PT? Looks like he could contribute right away, depending who is ahead of him on the depth chart. T.Grant (SO) R. Upchurch (JR) and G. Coffee (JR) will probably be listed as the starters begining the season. Jonathan Lowe (SR) will be in the mix as well. J. Johns (SR) is moving to LB, B. Huber (JR) and P. Hanrahan (SR) might be moved to Defense as well. Redshirts from last year D. Goode (RFR) and J. Griffin (RFR) along with this years class of M. Ingram (FR) I.Matchett (FR) and J. Preyear (FR) will contribute. C. Jordan (FR) will get a look at RB but they recuited him as a LB. This is the most depth I have seen at RB at Bama in a long time. I doubt he will get immediate PT, but if he comes in as the best, and gives us the greatest chance to win then who knows.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prowler 1 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Well, I hope this kid likes becoming the next RB to LB move....Not saying that it's bad or anything, being that he's Big and has speed. I see him as more of a LB than a RB in the McElwain Spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him as more of a LB than a RB in the McElwain Spread. If last year was any indication, we could use a few big RB. I like Grant but I just don't think he can take the beating to be an every down back. I like the bigger RBs that Saban is bringing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaGrad03 0 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Even though this kid is 210lbs and 5-10...the rivals guy said Trent won a 100m event earlier this year. So apparently he can scoot. Ranked as the #3 RB in the nation, I doubt he was recruited by anyone as a LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopie 6 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 The Pensacola News had an article regarding him and his middle school joournalism teacher posted a congratulatory message that also expounded about his good character. Sounds like Bammer got a good one. RWS..I apologize for not posting the link. If you need proof and hurry, you can find the article without having to pay to access the archives.

Ranked as the #3 RB in the nation, I doubt he was recruited by anyone as a LB. And, FWIW at this point in time, Rodney Scott is ranked the #5 APB so is better suited to Auburn's offense. Rivals ranks both Richardson and Scott as 4-stars. So where is all the hoopla? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
