Two months after Nu'Keese Richardson's arrest ended his freshman season and football career at the University of Tennessee, the wide receiver has resurfaced.One day before coach Lane Kiffin's sudden move to Southern California, Richardson pleaded guilty to one count of attempted robbery Jan. 11. Last Friday, the 5-foot-10, 165-pound Richardson roamed Hampton University's campus, on his second chance in an new environment conducive to his maturation.
"I was watching (Richardson) walk from weight lifting and it was as if he was just another student," said Hampton coach Donovan Rose. "No one was running up to him, trying to get his autograph or talk to him. It's amazing how few recognize him on campus."
Now one of only 5,656 undergraduates enrolled at Hampton, Richardson's mentor believes his high-profiled player, whose last-minute decision to leave Florida and attend Tennessee created headlines, is a good fit for the Pirates.
