July Recruiting Recap: Cory Richards (2019)
Cory Richards
6’2 | SG | 2019
Franklin Community (IN) | Indiana Elite Force 2019
Offers: Midway University, Concordia (MI)
Where His Recruitment Is At: So far, Cory is ahead of the game. For his level, having a pair of NAIA offers is more than most can say right now so having Midway join Concordia this week was pretty big. He’s played well this month and proven that he’s a good scoring guard off the ball with size that is going to attract a number of DIII and NAIA programs. He’s a plenty capable option with a high academic background. Expectation is that more DIII programs will try and sneak in but don’t be surprised if he lands some higher level NAIA offers later this Fall.
Scouting Report: Cory is a tall guard with a solid scoring ability off and on the ball. Long term he projects as a 2-guard who can score from distance and at the rim. Handles the ball pretty well and can get into the lane and slash or cut tot he rim for offense. Decent perimeter shooter with solid touch out beyond the three point line with a repeatable motion. Will need to continue to expand his game a bit but he’s capable and one of the better small school guard options off the ball.
