Richardson Announcing Thursday at 8am per Twitter
Richardson posted on Twitter that he is still announcing Thursday:
God please let this STAY THIS WAY
#HALOL
Still in the weight room? I need to know what to wear and whether or not I should be hydrated before showing up.
He haz them.
Hopefully people can ratchet the panic level back from 11.
This one goes to 11.
That's how it has to be when you need that extra little push over the edge
"Why not just make 10 louder?"
"...but, these amps go to 11!"
For $100, I'll sell you one that goes to 12.

School's out, can't he wait until I'm out of bed?
Honestly, if he was canceling the presser because his family couldn't be there, then maybe he should reschedule so they can make it (if that's possible that is). It's a pretty big event in this young man's life I would imagine. I would want my family there.
That being said, I hate waiting for stuff, so I'm happier this way.
WRT the whole family thing, they can probably try to find a time to get together and celebrate his decision after the fact. Also, like you said about hating to wait for things, you'd have to think at this point this is weighing on him pretty hard. Its hard to imagine he hasn't been distracted by this the past few days. Probably wants to get it over with.
His family will probably know his decision before everyone else anyway and they'll probably have some influence on his decision to begin with.
I wonder if he'll do a Tate-esque Twitter presser.
The kid is sticking to his timeline because he was tired of people texting, tweeting, and telling him he was flacky, wavering and indecisive. He may have wanted to reschedule the presser but now he feels obligated to announce to stop being harrassed. That is sad that people took his moment from him and he should reschedule so he can have his day in the sun.
That is sad. It's too bad that sometimes these kids can't enjoy the process of college recruiting and let it play out. I am as excited as anyone to see where he choses to play college football, but when a kid is pressured by fans to chose, it takes the fun out of it, especially for the player.
And has more success over his career, he'll probably learn not to worry about what anonymous assholes over the internet think and say, and do whats best for himself and his family. At that age I understand him trying to make all the fans happy, but I'm sure that can get draining after awhile.
And then you'd have a crapload of people calling you an "attention whore."
Maybe he's sick and tired of all the phone calls and texts and emails and tweets and FB postings from coaches, friends, friends of coaches, other players, relatives, classmates, churchmates, etc., and rescheduling a presser just so all his family can be present simply prolongs his agony.
Being a Cass Tech guy I would guess he's headed to UM, but I'm not going to go jump off a ledge if he signs elsewhere. Brady Hoke isn't going to win every recruiting battle.
an announcement on WTKA.
...or on Facebook and Twitter like he said in his tweet.
8AM coincides with Sam Webb's "recruiting roundup" segment. Ross announced there with Richardson in the studio. Godin announced there too. Advertising it in advance would give away his choice.
So, was the change to an 8AM announcement a coincidence? I think not.
Lets not forget that Sam said that after Ross did the radio segment with his family, that another recruit liked it and wanted to do the same. I thought it may have been Godin, but I agree with you, that its Richardson.
Don't know if I can go another week without a commit.
His new nickname shall be "Stamp"..cause he keeps us on the edge of the envelope
I heard that Buffalo has the inside track here. It turns out Terry Richardson really likes their coach, Kendall Gill. And his favorite player as a kid was Nate Odomes.
Kendall Gill? Didn't know he was so versatile!
Yep. He's more versatile than Rick Fox.
kenny battle made that team great
..was the one that scared me. Do you remember Marcus Liberty? That kid was being hailed as the best ever while still in middle school
Don't forget Schea Cotton, who was getting attention from Sports Illustrated when he was a high school frosh (and then never amounted to anything).
former nebraska QB
As far as the next few years of Cass Tech guys go, I'm curious as to which soon to be juniors, sophomores and freshman are already garnering attention.
Rivals database shows a trio of offensive lineman in the 2013 class. One of them, David Dawson should be a big-time kid. Not sure about the others.
There's also a DT Kenton Gibbs who Scout says has interest from OSU and Miami (YTM).
What do you do for a living! You should be a recruiting analyst
This is the result of deciding to go back to school and subsequently having far too much free time on my hands...
JUST STICK WITH A DATE AND TIME MAN! Probably totally screwing w/ us and won't announce it till the bowl game or something. Keep stringing us along.
He picked Tuesday. Then he bumped it back two days to Thursday. And he's announcing on Thursday. I've had dentist appointments that moved more.

What a Pre-Madonna
Seriously, I much prefer Post-Madonna T-Rich. Before he started jamming to "Material Girl" he was such a prima donna.
For all intensive purposes, he should just pick a time and stick with it.
Seriously. Keeping track of everything is just mind-bottling.
T-Rich - just enjoy your time in high school and don't take it for granite.
everyone went from "what an attention whore"/"he's not coming"/fehfehfeihfi to the fact he, quite simply, didn't see the need for a press conference if it couldn't involve his family. this refutes every element of ire direct towards him for self-aggrandizing and shows it was hoped to be a "them" moment but, bc it can't be, it's not going to be a "him" moment. good for him.
Yes. Let the record show that the MGoBoard community does not know everything that goes on in the life of every recruit.
Sounds like he canceled the presser because of things that were out of his control. Now he's doing his best to stick by his Thursday timeline. I approve (yes, this is important).
myself, but I would think we have learned that maybe we should wait for an entire story to unfold before we crucify a potential recruit *again*. I'm with Geaux_Blue on this. If I were a recruit, I would have the press looking for a geocache with my answer written on a small slip of flash paper with invisible ink and promise an exclusive interview to the winner.
His new nickname should be "stamp"...cause he keeps us on the edge
His new nickname shall be "Stamp"..cause he keeps us on the edge of the envelopeI think I prefer "Stamp"
Let the kid have it on his terms.
Unless he chooses someone else, of course, upon which he should be rightfully ripped to shreds. With golden tridents.
