West (Tracy) High's Jordan Richardson, a backcourter with both point and shooting guard talents, has signed a letter-of-intent with Weber State of the Big Sky Conference.

"I got along well with Coach [Randy] Rahe and his staff, the academics are good and Weber has what I want to major in - kinesiology," Richardson said.

A year from now, he'll be teaming up with Damian Lilliard, the former Oakland High star guard who won Freshman-of-the-Year honors last season at Weber State while also landing a spot on the All-Conference squad.

Richardson wanted to thank all who aided him in his quest for a college basketball scholarship, including Coach Walsh Jordan, Coach Henry Thomas, Coach Pat, the Hoosier coaching staff and his father and mother.

As for the coming season at West High in Tracy, the Wolfpack went 17-11 overall, 9-2 in league play during 2008-2009 but the team’s top scorer and rebounder, plus the leader in assists and steals have all departed. Look for Coach Derek Sprecksel’s squad to be guard-oriented in 2009-2010, for very good reason.
