Scout.com: Sheldon Richardson Profile

Richardson has picked up a Vol offer.

He also holds offers from Bama, USC, Miami, Auburn, Oregon, Cal, Arkansas, Missouri, etc.

He is currently committed to Missouri and has been for 2 years. He signed with them in '09 but didn't qualify. Even though he is committed, he says he will listen to anyone who is interested in him.

"I have my offer from Missouri still and I'm committed to them for now," Richardson said.

He is rated as a 5star and the #1 JUCO player in the country on Scout.

Coming out of high school in '09, he was a 5star, the #1 DT, and the #4 overall player.

He will be an Early Enrollee and will have 3 years to play 2.

I wouldn't mind if they signed 4 dts this class, but that's probably a bit much.

If you can get a guy like that on your team, you take him. Regardless of the number of DTs

 

[TennTradition]

Chances he ends up at USC?

 

[BigOrangeArsenal]

Did you see the scout profile versus the rivals? Is it me or does Rivals seem a step behind this year?!

 

[Lord Vader]

Chances he ends up at USC?

They are recruiting him harder than anyone.

 

[YankeeVol]

We could definitely use him

 

[lylsmorr]

Riddle me this...how is a team as talented as USC recruiting this guy harder than a team like us who needs a great DT more than any other position.

 

[rekinhavoc]

He will be an Early Enrollee and will have 3 years to play 2.

Why go to USC if one of the two is on probation?

 

[TNHopeful505]

We DEFINITELY need this guy, especially with John Brown not getting in. This guy would be phenomenal

 

[M-I-Z-V-O-L]

This guy bleeds black and gold.

He will be at Mizzou next fall.

Why have we offered so late?

Considering how many do not qualify, we better sign 6.

 

[Ericvol2096]

We have no real shot here, unless he wants to come in start day one and go to the NFL.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

i was wondering when we would hear about him

 

[VolsFanRJ]

There is actually an old thread on here about him. It was his original profile from HS showing his 5 star rating. Definitely a stud.

Keep in mind that the killer for most JUCO players is the extra math course required by the SEC. Since he was an academic non-qualifier last year, I tend to doubt that he was the type kid that voluntarily took the math course.

But if he did, we should be all over him. I just doubt he did.

I remember when we signed Albert, and Jesse, the #1,&2 rated JUCO players in the country. My, have times changed.

Tennessee is still trying with Richardson.

 

[iuvol2012]

The fact that we seem to be striking out on quality DT's scares me.

Who have we struck out with?

 

[iuvol2012]

Who have we struck out with?

Did I say we DID strike out? NO. I said we SEEM to be striking out/not in good shape for some of these other guys.

I know but I haven't seen anywhere where we have indication that we have struck out with Johnson or Wright.

No but they haven't given any indication that Tennessee is their #1 choice either...

Johnson hasn't?
