[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1221079, member: 7292"] Depends on the ranking, on the RSCI composite Richmond ended up #24, higher than Leornard (#29). In addition to Mr. Basketball (2010), he was twice named Sun Times Player of the Year (2009, 2010), and also got McD AA honors. Richmond was a prodigy, and gave life to a program on a fast decline at a time of desperation (after the Eric Gordon fiasco). Getting Richmond did help perception of Illinois and did help land a fantastic 2009 class (Richmond committed first), followed by a great 2010 class. After Richmond beat Paul with a last second desperation 3 in Paul's last year, Paul went and personally congratulated Richmond and publicly said he could not wait to play with him. Obviously, their relationship went downhill once Richmond got to Illinois, but not before. Richmond ended up his own worst enemy, and obviously his career was short lived with much trouble. So public opinion will always be influenced by that and Tilmon will most likely have a better career. But at the time of commitment? I'd rank Richmond higher. My top 3 all-time impact commitments (at the time of commitment): 1. Sergio and Marcus 2. Marcus Liberty 3. Jeremy Richmond This is not necessarily the best players, or highest ranked, or best careers. But ranked based on impact at the time of commitment. [/QUOTE]
