Richmond, Leonard top 2010

So who is No. 1? The Hoops Report believes there is very little separation between the two as prospects going forward. However, Richmond is more prepared coming out of high school and possesses college-ready skills. If I had to pick one of the two and put money on one to play in the NBA it would likely be Leonard, though I believe both will find their way to the League. But we're talking college prospect here and Richmond is that player. Either way, this is a special time for the Illinois coaching staff and Illini basketball fans. Together they await the arrival of the type of exciting recruits they haven't had since Dee and Deron were moving to Champaign.
