Large number of early 2017 Midwest commits. Here are 5 I expect to impact as freshmen: http://rvls.co/InstantImpactMidwest…
Recruiting overview: Despite his talent and high ranking, Richardson’s recruitment had not built a lot of momentum before his March 27 commitment. Richardson held just six offers, but Kentucky was the first from a Power Five school and it came a full year before his commitment.
Impact potential: Kentucky has been a recruiting fixture in the state of Ohio since Mark Stoops took over following the 2012 season, signing 32 prospects from the Buckeye State in that time. As the No. 84 prospect in the 2017 class, though, Richardson is the highest ranked of that group. What makes Richardson a candidate for early playing time is his versatility and the physical skill set he provides in a 6-foot-4, 210-pound package. Kentucky is talking about bringing him in as a wide receiver, which is one of the easiest positions to see the field early, but he could also play defense and has experience returning kicks.
