RECRUIT PROFILE: TRENT RICHARDSON
We preview the Rivals 100 as only we can: with no actual knowledge or understanding of them or their capabilities.
Recruit: Trent Richardson

What his picture says about him: Arched eyebrows indicate a skeptical personality, while forward-tilted head positioning hints at a confrontational running style and personality. Also may just be gassy and in need of a moment alone downwind.
Position: Running Back, sous-chef, and slaughterhouse DJ.
Hometown: Pensacola, FL. Escambia High School.
Spiritual Hometown: Ayutthaya, Thailand. Preferably perched like Ong Bak doing dips off the tusks of an elephant before engaging in one-on-eight hundred fight consisting entirely of flying squirrel attacks and sickening arm and leg breaks.
Ballin'? Yes, but not out of control.
Bench max: 350 pounds.
Squat: Does not squat for any man, foo', cause squats is gay.
Committed to: the enduring struggle between reason and faith, the smooth aftertaste of a single malt enjoyed in the brisk air of a dying but still beautiful Hebridean garden in winter, finishing up watching Dr. Who on DVD, and the University of Alabama.
40 time: 4.5 seconds.
Things you didn't know about Trent Richardson: Nicknamed his penis "The Tardis." Has a morbid fear of odd numbers. Bonded with Alabama coach Nick Saban over their shared allergy to peanuts and cowardice. Lists role models as Jesus Christ, Ladanian Tomlinson, and the Alaskan Pipeline, because "it keeps flowing while all else is frosty."

Is this the same Trent Richardson, who said this about the Tide – http://www.auburntron.com/2009/01/25/5-star-rb-tide-commit-trent-richardson/
Yeah, Im still committed to Alabama. But some of their fans are starting to push me away. They call me all the time, send me flowers, show up to my high school games and track meets, and are just generally coming across as overly desperate. You know; a guy likes to have the door held for him and stuff like that, but they want me to do weird stuff like calling them when I get home to make sure I made it in alright and always dissecting everything I say to my other friends in order to find hidden meanings. I know they mean well and they really are nice guys, but they are just trying to move this relationship along too fast. We should be in the early stages of getting to know each other, but they are really pressuring me to make a commitment to them before I technically can. My mistake was letting them force me into saying some things I may not have meant early on. Now that I want to play the field and see what else might be out there, theyre acting as if Im leading them on which is not my intention. I really like Alabama and would love to spend my college career there, but the desperation is making me uneasy.
Also, you meant elephant tusks, unless Thai scientists are indulging in illegal mutation to give horns to elephants!

I, for one, believe every word of that profile, Orson.

Chris Rainey thinks Trent should come down and let “The Tardis” enjoy the white women.

There’s something about recruiting season that makes me feel dirty inside. It is easily the creepiest part of our love for college football. That being said, there is no way I could picture myself sending an eighteen year old dude flowers. Please tell me that wasn’t a grown man from Elba.
Also, Orson: Can you reprint those kickass names from the class of 2009? I think you posted a group of about seven or eight unbelievably awesome names (including Harry Peoples and Barkevious Mingo) a few months ago, and I’d like to review that list. Thank you, Sir.

@ #8 —
Probably not Elba. Now, Jasper or Scottsboro — all bets are off.

The idea of having a dram outside in the “brisk” winter conditions of the Outer Hebrides raised an eyebrow, but in fact it’s warmer on North Uist right now than it is outside my office. I learn something every day on this site.

finishing up watching Dr. Who on DVD
Does he mean just the current version with Billie Piper, or the entire span of the show, including Tom Baker and his scarf. Because if a person were to try to do that he’d need to dedicate 4-5 years of their life, doing nothing but watching the show with a little time to work out and play football. There’d be no time for anything like going to class or doing homework.

The Florida requirement to pull the braids into a topknot may have hurt the Gators’ chances.

“I want to apologize to Trent for the flowers….I, thought we had a connection, and I thought the time we spent together meant something. And, I’m sorry about the 63 text and voice mail messages. And I won’t use your nickname “T-Rex” in public ever again. But this song and dance has gone so long, and those other teams will NEVER love you like I do…a guy just needs to hear it, even in code. And I really didnt mean to hit you, I just get so mad when I dont get a straight answer about “where u been and who u been wid”…dont leave me, I promise I wont do it again….

it keeps flowing while all else is frosty. – I don’t normally laugh out loud during working hours but that was worth security coming by the cube.

FYI, Rumors are flying right now that TR decommitted from Bama last night.
FWIW, Scout.com was on top of this a month ago, and lists him as uncommitted. At least to squats.

Trent,
I will serve you on a soft, silk table-cloth that has been freshly laundered and purchased from the finest table-cloth store in all of creation. It will be the most spectacular dinner you have ever consumed.
There will also be corn served….
Baby, I want your brown sugar right now. Freak me on my desk right this second. Give it up to the freaky Bama fan. You can wear the Houndstooth hat this time…..Take a ride on my Caravan of Love—-Billy in Northport

Richardson is uncommitted per Scout.com because they list commits who are still taking visits, i.e “soft verbals”, as such. However, he is still very much in the UA fold.
#2 That “quote” was made up by a guy on tidesports.com. What has been really funny is how many LSU/AU/Tenn sites have picked it up as gospel.

That’s rediculous. No way I’m desperate for Trent Richardson to come to Bama.
But my daughters are yours man, I stand by that promise.
And I got the door son, no problem.

The number of morons who believe that “quote” from Trent about Alabama fans is astounding. It was made up as a joke by a BAMA fan, dumbasses.
by Teague on Jan 26, 2009 2:18 PM EST reply actions
Well, when its regarding the ’Bama fans and recruiting, anything is possible. So its not really that difficult to believe in that quote.

Just wait til it hits the Finebaum airwaves in about 30 mins…….then this “joke” may actually come to reality….

What good are all those highly paid Kadets in the Kiffykins Korps if they can’t get Mr Richardson to commit to Tennessee?
