09:36 PM EDT on Wednesday, April 29, 2009
The URI basketball team apparently has made a significant signing.
The Sanford, N.C., Herald reported on its blog Wednesday that Akeem Richmond, a 6-foot-1 guard who was the player of the year in his area, has signed a national letter of intent with Rhode Island.
Richmond had visited URI last month and reportedly was the Rams' top target in the late recruiting. Richmond is a combo guard who scored 2,846 career points and averaged 29.2 points for Southern Lee High in Sanford this past season.
He also was considering Charlotte, Western Kentucky and South Florida.
