Richardson threw a slick skip pass right through the defense on a play that showed two things I love seeing from a sophomore in the fall: he scanned the defense before the ball even hit his stick, then changed his release point to thread the feed through. There’s plenty of entertainment value in his game, too. Between the underhand shot release, the gotcha fakes, and the behind-the-back shots and feeds, he has the creativity and skill to put together some pretty impressive highlights.

I’m not sure if he has any box lacrosse in his background, but his game has that feel. The way he snatches the ball, extends his arms to hammer a quick-release shot off a skip pass, and comfortably gets his body into defenders on dodges all hint at it. If he can stay consistent and cut down on the turnovers, he’s going to give you plenty to like beyond the highlights.
