ISU recruit Richard leads team to Illinois 4A title

Indiana State basketball recruit Carl Richard had a game-high 19 points Saturday night as Oak Lawn Richards won the first Class 4A Illinois boys state championship with a 67-63 win over Zion-Benton in Carver Arena.

What I like about the kids coming in next year is that their teams are very succesfull and have advanced far into their respective state tournaments.

In other words, these kids are use to winning and losing would be uncomfortable for them.

Carl Richard is a big guy. I like the way he rebounds. He also has a nice shot which could be lethal since he is 6'5".

My projected line-up for next year is............

Harry Marshall
Rashad Reed
Marico Stinson
Isiah Martin
Jay Tunnell

Reserves:
Aaron Carter
Adam Arnold
Carl Richard
Tyler Cutter
Cole Holmston
Jordan Printy
Lamar Lee
Brant Leinatker
Koang Doluony
Keenan Barlow

Wow. That is the first time I have really thought about next year's line-up. If we have Aaron Carter, Carl Richard, and Tyler Cutter coming off the bench, we should be in good shape.

I'm jacked for next year.

I don't disagree with your lineup, but some say Harry would not be our first option at PG. And we still might sign 1 or 2 more which can only help us.
I definitely think Richard and AC both will be nipping at some starters' heels or even starting. I'm just hoping that we can get our best players out there and not have them playing out of position and I'm not sure what Carl's best position will be. He didn't look like a Stinson type that create shots from the perimieter, but he might be capable of that or able to by next year.
I love the versatility of AC's game and the fact that he is always looking to score.
I have no idea what role Printy or Barlow can have.
And how does Jay fit in with Martin, Richard, AC, Barlow and Stinson? Can he play D at the PF spot? Martin has the physical ability to play forward but you have to put that shot-blocking ability close to the basket.

according to this article in the Tribune (Chicago) Dwayne Wade is a cousin of Carl Richard, maybe we'll see Wade at some ISU games??

Their performance pumped some madness back into March, and it didn't hurt that a Richards grad named Dwyane Wade added a little star power when he showed up near tipoff. It certainly energized his distant cousin, Carl Richard, and the Richards forward proceeded to score a game-high 19 points.
 
Carl Richard: An Irresistible Combination

Here's a secret:

If you want to attract some media attention, be chosen MVP of the Illinois state tournament, be the best player on the 2008 Illinois Class 4A state championship team and acknowledge that you are the cousin of Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat. It works every time!

Carl Richard ready for the next level

Indiana State recruit Carl Richard is enjoying center stage. Why not? His Oak Lawn Richards team won their first IHSA basketball title in school history ? in the first year of Illinois? four-class system, no less. He was the leading scorer in the championship game with 19 points, and his distant cousin Dwyane Wade left the fun and sun of Miami to trek to the harsher climes of Peoria to see Richard pull it off at the school Wade himself never won a championship at.
