Scouting Info:
ESPN.com, "Longrus has a great frame with broad shoulders and very long arms. His demeanor is terrific and he always plays the game with an even keel. He can guard the 4 or the 3 with equal aplomb due to his length, strength, and quickness. He handles the ball well in the open court and although his offensive game is limited he does make good decisions with the ball in his hands. Longrus, who reminds some of current Milwaukee Buck Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, is a solid looking prospect for the Division I level. Defensively, he is a stalwart, both inside and out, and his offensive game should get better with confidence and hard work. If he becomes a viable offensive option in the near future he should be a lock for the high-major level."
Scout.com,"Impressive young forward with athleticism and willingness to defend. Potential high major prospect."
Richard is a great kid, reminiscent of UCLA'er of the past Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. He is very smart as evidenced by Harvard and Stanford's interest. Not the best on the offensive end, but on defense may be one of the best in the entire 2012 class. He has strong interest in Gonzaga as well and would not be surprised to see him visit sometime this summer or next fall. He will be somewhere between a 3 and 4 at the college level, although he is definitely undersized for the 4.
