High school career
[edit]Richmond played for Midwood High School in his hometown of Brooklyn as a freshman before transferring to South Shore High School.[1] He helped South Shore win two Public Schools Athletic League Class AA titles.[2] Richmond played a postgraduate season at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire.[3] He averaged 12.5 points, six rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, receiving First Team All-New England Preparatory School Athletic Council Class AAA honors.[4] A four-star recruit, Richmond committed to playing college basketball for Syracuse over offers from UConn, Florida State, Cincinnati and Georgetown.[5]
College career
[edit]Syracuse University
[edit]On December 3, 2020, Richmond made his first career start for Syracuse in the absence of Buddy Boeheim. He recorded a freshman season-high 16 points, seven rebounds, six assists, four steals and three blocks in a 75–45 win over Niagara.[6] As a freshman, he averaged 6.3 points, 3.1 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 21 minutes per game.[7]
Seton Hall University
