Mark-Antony Richards is one of the highest-rated athletes in the 2019 recruiting cycle. On Sunday, the dynamic athlete from West Palm Beach in Florida tweeted out his final five schools in his recruitment, and he included the Vols along with Miami, Auburn, Florida, and Penn State.
Tennessee’s coaches would love to have an athlete of Richards’ caliber in their recruiting class, but as of right now they’re definitely trailing in his recruitment. Getting Richards on campus for a visit this season could change things, but it will take a monumental effort for the Vols to pull him away from Miami at this point.
It means he's been recruited by Tennessee. In other words the staff is showing some love.
