Top-25 recruit Billy Richmond down to 4 schools

Billy Richmond, one of the top uncommitted prospects in the 2024 class, has narrowed his list of schools down to four. The 6-foot-6, four-star small forward out of Camden (N.J.) High will consider Alabama, Memphis, Kentucky, and LSU.

He has officially visited each of his finalists, besides Alabama. He will make the trip to Tuscaloosa the weekend of October 21st.

A native of Memphis, Tenn., Richmond is the No. 24 overall player in the country, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. 

It should also be noted that Richmond’s father, Billy Richmond Jr., played for John Calipari at Memphis from 2002-04. Richmond also played last high school season with Kentucky freshman Aaron Bradshaw and DJ Wagner at Camden High.

Richmond talks programs involved

In a previous interview with Jack Pilgrim of KSR, Richmond discussed several of the programs involved in his recruitment.

Alabama: “I like how Alabama plays. A lot of big guards come from there like Brandon Miller. The game style is there for me, and it’s a great coaching staff.”

Kentucky: “You can’t go wrong with Kentucky. Big Blue is one of the best schools in basketball history, and there’s a great coaching staff there.

Memphis: “It’s my hometown and I have a great relationship with the coaches over there and everything.”
