Panthers Add Rashaad Richardson to Signing Class


ATLANTA-Rashaad Richardson, a 6-4 shooting guard from Oldsmar Christian Academy, has signed a national letter of intent with the Georgia State basketball program, head coach Rod Barnes announced.

Richardson led his team in scoring with 26.5 points per game at Oldsmar Christian in Oldsmar, Fla., where he teamed with fellow Georgia State signee Harold Doby, who signed with the Panthers last fall.

"Rashaad is an excellent addition to our recruiting class, giving us another long, athletic player on the perimeter," said Barnes. "He is a good scorer who can really drive to the basket and he also possesses a strong mid-range game."

A native of James Island, S.C., Richardson averaged 19 points, five rebounds and five assists as a junior at James Island Charter High School before moving to Oldsmar.

My take: Tremendous get by Barnes and crew. He had a ton of high major interest.  This bumps the signing class to 7.  Wave goodbye to either Mi'kyel Nero or James Fields.
