Shaquille Richardson reportedly heading to Arizona

Former UCLA recruit Shaquille Richardson will play for the Arizona Wildcats, the Arizona Daily Star is reporting. Richardson was one of three – along with recent Washington signee Josh Shirley and Paul Richardson – who was arrested in late-June on suspicion of felony threat (though the charges have been lessened and are still pending). The trio was denied admissions and allowed to open up their recruitment, and now it appears Paul Richardson is the only one without a home.

Shaq Richardson, Scout.com’s No. 27 cornerback out of Los Alamitos, would’ve joined a talented young defensive backfield, but probably would have redshirted. With a logjam at cornerback, he might not have seen time for a while.
