defense-first Rambler with proven big-game poise
Richardson’s calling card is **elite on-ball defense** and steady guard play: Loyola named him the 2018 Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year, and during the Ramblers’ 2017-18 Final Four run he averaged 6.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and shot 40% from three. He’s the kind of low-drama, high-IQ guard who can pressure the ball, make the extra pass, and survive in big moments—more glue than glamour, but exactly the kind of fit that stabilizes a winning team.[5]
