Workhorse Richardson stands out among 2009 running backs

Best inside runners

What Scouts Inc. looks for: These players have the ability to square their shoulders, get downhill and attack the hole. You have seen us use the term "pick and slide" in our reports, and this is used to describe a back's ability to avoid with patience, find the seams and move laterally in-line through the tight creases. These runners must always fall forward, finish runs and be able to break initial contact.

1. Trent Richardson (Pensacola, Fla./Escambia)

There may be more shifty runners between the tackles, but it's difficult to find a more explosive and productive in-line back in this class than Richardson. He hits the hole with great urgency and burst out of his cuts. He quickly gets his rock-solid, 219-pound body headed downhill and is just a bruising, powerful back. Don't let his violent running style and great yards after contact production fool you, ESPN's No. 1 overall back can decisively hit the cutback and dart through traffic with great suddenness.

Following the game he did a t.v. interview and among the comments he made,he can't wait to get to 'Bama and thinks with the off. line next yr. may win the s.e.c. said too that he wouldn't be surprised to "see us" win it this year! Said he's really looking forward to playing at Alabama!

Trent's season ended tonight with a loss to pensacola,31-10. However,he did his part,as usual,122 yds rushing and 1 td. He finished the season with over 2100 yds rushing! Following the game he did a t.v. interview and among the comments he made,he can't wait to get to 'Bama and thinks with the off. line next yr. may win the s.e.c. said too that he wouldn't be surprised to "see us" win it this year! Said he's really looking forward to playing at Alabama!

I love hearing him talk like that considering all the "is he or isn't he" talk going around. I, like everyone else, can't wait to see him rotate with Coffee and Ingram; constant fresh legs running it down the throat of the opposition. Football the way football should be played.

:BigA: RTR!

He may not be successful on the next level but all you can do is rate him on what has is doing in HS.

He has speed, size, stats, he has competed in a large high school classification, he has grades. He has everything you could want.

He looks like a "can't miss" recruit and any school would make room for him.

Welcome TR.

 

[Squirrely]

He can't wait to get to Bama, and I can't wait to see him in Crimson...........

Hopefully the Bama faithful sell out the spring game, and give the new recruits a unforgetable Bama welcome............
wooooo hooooooooooo


:BigA: ROLL TIDE :BigA:

Congrats Mr. 2087. Bama fans are looking forward to seeing you in Crimson.

Trent's triumph and tribulation

Kneeling on the sideline, Trent Richardson watched the final seconds tick away from his high school career.

He has verbally committed to Alabama. If that promise holds, Richardson will be playing for the Crimson Tide next season. Alabama, currently ranked No. 1 in all polls, won Richardson's heart during a frenzied early recruiting period prior to this senior season.

Richardson knows this isn't the end of the road for him, just the beginning. And when he walked up that hill one more time to the locker room, it wasn't the last hill he'd climb or the last locker room he'd enter.

I love this kid!!! He is such an outstanding young man on top of being a phenominal athlete. You all may have seen the video of him last spring helping some younger kids do workouts along the rail road tracks. I thought then, this is one SUPER SPECIAL KID!!! As it has been said, can't wait to see him in Crimson!!

Roll Tide Trent! We can't wait to see you on the field!!

Welcome TR.

Baring something catastrophic happening or major injuries, this young man will without a doubt be successful on the next level. If there ever was a "can't miss" recruit this is one.
Bama will, once again, own the 4th qtr the next few years.

Does anyone know where his 2008 stats can be found?

Carries, TD's, receptions, etc.
