Richardson comes short on college board requirements,even if not on the court!(updated)
Poor Anthony Richardson, this guy, despite many attempts at the SAT, the BF and PF who graduated from Raleigh's Leesville Road High earlier this spring and helped to lead his pride to the state championships against Winston Salem's Reynolds(who beat the pride by 22 points), has come up ten points short once again on the NCAA minimum for his SAT scores. Unfornately for FSU recruit Richardson as well, he came short on his ACT minimum as well. As a result Richardson is keeping his options open," right now i don't know what i'm going to do," I've got a few options , but I need to talk with my coaches and decide what's best". After scoring 13 points Tuesday in the NC Coaches Association East West All -Star game in Greensboro, he said he anticipated enrolling at FSU as a partial qualifier. Partial qualifers have either the NCAA minimum G{A or college board score, but not both. Richardson also could enroll as a part-time student at FSU, take courses and continue to work on his college board tests. He would be eligible to play as soon as he had a qualifying score and was admitted as a full time student. Another popular option with athletes is to attend prep school, a year to get a qualifying board score. Thus making him eligible to play in the spring or fall of 2002. But one definate thing is that Richardson is commited to the noles'. " They do want to win, but they don't have the talent," " I think by my junior and senior year we'll be alright." one final thought to cling to...." I can't wait to play in the ACC. I thinkg they want to win, and I know that I can help them!"
