[Da Coach]

The Bradley coaches liked him, but who knows how good he'll be at the D1 level. From his videos, he gets a lot of his points with his quickness and driving in the lane. Those kinds of points don't always come easy at D1. A good example was James "Pop" Weathers. He averaged over 18 points per game and 6 rebounds per game with a similar style of game at a good juco (State College of Florida), his sophomore season. As a junior at BU, his averages were 1.6 ppg & 1.0 rpg)

His offers were all from mid-majors and low-majors- BU, Drake, Murray State, UT Arlington, Rice, College of Charleston, Morehead State, UT Martin, Arkansas State, Alabama State, North Alabama, Texas State, and Cal State Bakersfield,

This one looks like it might be a tough loss. It sounds like he may be a very good player, and he is going to our rival.

Richardson, who played for Bruce Weber at Illinois (2009-13). But other sources report that he is D.J.'s nephew. DJ had a six year pro career overseas, and is now an assistant coach at East Peoria.
