re: Trent Richardson Update..

Here is another Update today on this situation.

According to our Paper; Pensacola News Journal Today..Trent said his visit to LSU was "Cool" But wasen't to keen going there according to his comments. He did like Florida..and Urban Meyer and one of UF's coaches was due here today on a follow-up visit. Thursday..Alabama is coming in (Willis??) then Thursday Bobby Bowden and Jimbo Fisher are due here then Trent Goes to Tallahasse Friday And Saturday for his final visit.

So..LSU is probably out at this point..Florida Good Chance and Florida State? Then Bama.
Trent said he was'nt announcing until National Signing Day.

If he does'nt De-commit to us before next Weds..He's Bama Bound

Trent Richardson Update..

Bama in the lead, with Florida making up ground. I think the FSU visit was set up at the last minute after he canceled the visit to TN. Saban asked AJ McCarron and Trent to stay away from TN in light of the LT deal, and both agreed. Also, his coach said that while Richardson talked about how he liked his visits to LSU and FL, the conversation always turned back to Alabama in the end.

I realize I'm biased, but this actually makes the most sense.

Those comments came from his coach, and its pretty much word for word.

I'm not going to look for it, its already posted on this board, its in one of the 20 Trent Richardson threads.

And the big boys follow up miles visit on Thursday. Its getting pretty late in the game for the tigahs.

Pensacola,Fl

With two days left until signing day, one school has fallen out of the four-team Trent Richardson race: Florida State.


Though Richardson took his final official visit to Tallahassee last weekend, the Seminoles were not able to make a strong enough impression to stay on his short list entering National Signing Day.

Richardson, Escambia High's standout tailback, now is down to three schools: Alabama, Florida and LSU. Richardson took official visits to all three schools in January and has welcomed the three head coaches — Nick Saban (Alabama), Urban Meyer (Florida) and Les Miles (LSU) — and a host of assistant coaches for in-home visits during the recruiting process.

Derrick Boyd, an assistant football coach at Escambia and Richardson's recruiting adviser, believes Richardson is not close to a final decision yet.

"I went to see Trent (Monday), and both (head) coach (Jimmy) Nichols and I agree in thinking that Trent doesn't even know where he's going yet," Boyd said. "He doesn't even know."

The 5-11, 225-pound Richardson — a verbal commit to Alabama for more than six months — already has requested the signing papers from all three remaining schools and will announce his decision at 4 p.m. Wednesday.

Boyd said that Richardson would not fax his letter of intent to his school of choice prior to his official announcement.

While LSU still is in the running officially, Alabama and Florida are considered Richardson's clear-cut top two.

The No. 1 running back in the nation according to ESPN, Richardson rushed for 2,090 yards and 25 touchdowns as a senior. He was named the Florida Class 5A player of the year and was one of eight finalists for Florida's "Mr. Football" award.

It would not bother me one bit if Trent decided to go somewhere other than LSU. We have Ford coming in an are always loaded at RB. I would much prefer if Randle decided to go to LSU.
