High-scoring guard from Southern Lee transfers from Rhode Island to East Carolina.
Former ball boy to face Heels
Submitted by rpickeral on 03/26/2010 - 16:00If Rhode Island freshman Akeem Richmond buries a couple of 3-pointers or makes a key steal against North Carolina in the NIT semifinals on Tuesday, a tiny bit of the credit – or perhaps blame – should probably go to former Tar Heel Raymond Felton.
Richmond, who grew up in Sanford as a “die-hard” Carolina basketball fan, was a ball boy for UNC’s 2005 NCAA championship team. And snagging rebounds for the former All America (and current Charlotte Bobcat) made an impact.
