Stephen Bardo on Jereme Richmond

"I think it's a sad situation," ESPN analyst and former Illini player Stephen Bardo said. "I clearly don't agree with his decision ... I think it's a sad situation that a young man with such promise makes a decision like this based on a number of situations that we're not clear on yet.

"But the end result is that he's gone and it's not good for anybody."
