"His brother (Jase) Richardson was just drafted in the first round, and his father was a lottery pick - both out of MSU," the page added. Advertisement "Come make yourself a legend in Ann Arbor," one fan said with a sloped 'M' emoji. "What do you expect. There's no loyalty in the current landscape of college sports. It's all about the $$$," a second said. "MSU," a third added. "This was news like 2 years ago lol," a fourth added. "I wouldn't have that poverty program in my top 10 either," a fifth said. "This is a surprise to nobody lol," a Spartans fan page added. A 6-foot-6, 200 pound small forward from Columbus High School in Miami, Florida, Richardson has Alabama, Michigan, Cincinnati and USC among his top 10. He is the son of 14-year NBA veteran Jason Richardson, who played at Michigan State during his college years. Advertisement "They reach out to me almost every day. So that really means a lot to me," Richardson said according to ZAGSBLOG. "Just when I went up there, getting to see the style of play, the ball movement they have there is ridiculous. "So that's definitely something I took away from there."
