Richards coming back for Junior year

Great that E.J. is in Blue for another year! The guy has a great motor and a ton of up-side. Offensively, I think he had something of a Skal-like season last year. He has skill but I'm not all together sure that Cal used him on that end of the court in a way that best utilized that skill. Unlike Skal, E.J. had the ability to affect the game in other ways and he was a positive asset on the boards and off-ball defense. E.J. needs to eat a sandwich (or ten), get stronger and play hungry. If UK doesn't win the Blackshear lottery (probably not) then E.J. will get all the minutes he can handle while rotating between the 4-5 spots.
