Frank Richards Has Top Four List
Frank Richards, a sleek 6-2, 180 pound combo/point guard from Olney Central C.C. in Olney, Ill., has four schools seriously pursuing him this fall.
Richards (pictured right), who is from Rockford, Ill., is being trailed by Butler, Auburn, Kansas State and Illinois-Chicago, according to Blue Knights Head Coach Jim Glash.

"Butler is in there very strong," Glash said. "They got a real early start on Frank and they are the early leaders."
Richards had committed to Ohio University out of high school, but after failing to qualify he headed off to Olney last fall.
Blessed with good quickness and athleticism, Richards is especially dangerous off the dribble. He uses penetration adroitly to set up his teammates, and is a sticky man to man defender.
Glash said that Richards is expected to graduate in the spring, and like his other sophomore teammates, he will not sign until next April or May.
