2020 UT wing Richie Saunders

[LJay]

Know nothing about this kid and haven’t seen anything before today but note that this Utah kid has CU listed as warm along with BYU and Utah. Only other two who are warm are Kalkbrenner and Murrell.

He's a heavy BYU lean

That's too bad. Have we told him Creighton allows pop on their campus?

Looks like he may have listened to you Zmagic. He is at the volleyball game with Mac right now

Too bad we couldn't have a rapper there.

All the reports are that Richie is a lights out shooter. A go to guy in the clutch. Supposedly gets even better when the stakes and the pressure are high. Sign him up.

Opposing coach scouting report

“As a young player, Richie Saunders has burst onto the high school basketball scene and forced everyone to take notice. While it would be easy to go through and list his basketball skill set one by one and maybe list a few stats, it probably wouldn't do justice to the impact he has on the game. This is because the number one quality that Richie Saunders has as a basketball player is that so often he simply carries his team to victory. Whatever his team needs, he seems to provide it. He does this because of his competitive nature and ability to come through in big moments. With opposing defenses draped all over him, he continually hits big shot after big shot when his team needs it most. Richie's confidence, game demeanor, and willingness to be a team player has truly made him one of the better players in 6A this season. The future is bright for Richie Saunders.”

Coach Haws’ Take: “Richie is a very good shooter and a consistent scorer. He is also a really good finisher in transition. Richie can score at all three levels. He possesses a special mid-range game. He can really stuff the stat sheet.”

sounds like it's been down to BYU and Creighton for months

Hmmm, missed his reference to CU. Have a time stamp? Did hear about the LDS mission. He may be a 25 year old college grad when all said and done.
