Miami Hurricanes Recruiting: Nine 2016 Commits Make The First ESPN300

6’2-175 Ahmmon Richards: Wide Receiver from Wellington Community High School

ESPN300 Rank: 287th

Positional Rank: 42nd

Ahmmon Richards was displeased with his ranking and quickly took to twitter to voice his opinion.

I tend to agree with Ahmmon Richards here. Richards didn’t go to off season combine camps or play much 7-on-7, so players that performed well at these events were ranked ahead of him. Richards is your prototype receiver at 6’2-175 with the ability to high point the ball and blow by defenders. Ahmmon had an incredibly productive junior year racking up over 1,200 yards and 23 TDs receiving while also intercepting 5 passes and scoring TDs on punt and interception returns. If Richards puts up similar numbers as a senior, recruiting sites will have no other option but to boost his rankings.
