Colby Richardson from McNeese. He will take one of our last available scholarships. We have one left for this cycle.

I wonder if this means Banks isn't completely healthy.

My guess, he’s simply a depth piece. Frank knows the kid being he coached him at McNeese, so that’s a plus. Colby is from New Orleans, has the size LSU likes at CB, and we need some more bodies in the room. Has decent playing experience too. These last two scholarships are “use them or lose them”, as they do not carry over to next cycle. It’s a one year rental, on a worst case scenario, depth player. We’ll see; I trust the staff.

Wish we could have given this to Pig. He had a year in the system.

Not really sure. However, Banks has been posting workout videos on his Instagram, so this may be just pure depth.

Mostly depth. But he may be a good special teams player too

I gather he wasn't highly recruited back in 2017?

Don’t get this take. There were better corners in the portal for awhile that we didn’t even pursue at all. (Keidron Smith Ole Miss CB now at Kentucky being one)

Something to be said for familiarity I’m sure. If anyone knows the kid, his strengths, weaknesses and how he fits into what BK is trying to do, it’s Frank. Even if he’s just a depth or ST piece on the field, kid has lots of experience to share with the younger guys to aid in their development.

This is a Frank pick up. I’d take him too if Frank vouches for the kid.

I also am not sure if this is a scholarship or Walkon.

Why don't we wait & see what this kid does before we decide that it's a wasted scholarship?

Why is Daran branch a walk on and this kid gets a scholarship? Because this kid is a Grad Transfer and the other guy is younger

But I hope he comes and balls out I like when these smaller school kids prove us wrong (aka pig cage & Darren Evans)

You have to use the scholarship or it’s gone

Because they wanted to use the last 2 scholarships on a TE an OL. We lost Steen to Bama and no TE worthy of a take. Just got unlucky.
