Nu’Keese Richardson was a top prospect recruited by the nation’s elite programs. He was wined and dined, and given everything a top recruit should receive during his recruiting heyday. It seems though, the same suitors that went after Richardson aren’t doing much to help him out as he was sitting behind bars since Thursday for his arrest for attempted armed robbery.
After a lengthy delay and much after DB Mike Edwards and Safety Janzen Jackson were released, Richardson was finally released from the Knox County Detention Facility early Friday evening. It is unclear who posted bond, if any, or if he was released on his own recognizance.
It’s just ironic how everyone went after him during the recruiting process but when he truly needed help, no one was immediately there for him. This certainly leaves question marks as to why the delay and what Tennessee intends to do with the three accused.
