Class of 2024 shooting guard Billy Richmond III released his top-eight schools’ list on Saturday. Richmond III included Alabama as a finalist to land his commitment.
The Tennessee native is the son of former Vanderbilt and Memphis guard Billy Richmond.
The 6-foot-5 wing is an excellent scorer and defender. During the 2023 Nike EYBL Peach Jam, Richmond III averaged 13.8 points per game, 5.9 rebounds per game, 2.6 assists per game, and 1.6 steals per game.
If Richmond III were to commit to Alabama, he would likely play either shooting guard or small forward. One thing that the Alabama coaching staff emphasizes on the recruiting trail is pursuing positionless basketball players. Meaning the recruit can guard and play at any position on the floor.
