SULLIVAN, RICHARDSON SIGN WITH ENMU TO PLAY FOR MEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM
PORTALES, NM — Eastern New Mexico University Head Coach Shawn Scanlan has announced the signing of two players to athletic scholarships for the 2001-02 season. The new players are Rashad Sullivan, a 5’10” 190-pound guard from Rose State College in Midwest City, Okla., and Vincent Richardson, a 6’7” 190-pound forward from New Mexico Junior College in Hobbs.

During the upcoming season, Sullivan will be a junior and Richardson will be a sophomore. Sullivan averaged 10 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals per game as a sophomore at Rose State this past season. He also was a member of the 1999-2000 Rose State team that finished as the NJCAA Division II National runner-up with a 28-8 overall record. Sullivan’s hometown is Enid, Okla.

“Rashad gives us another experienced solid player at the point guard position. He can score and has range on his shot to the 3-point line,” Scanlan said. “He defends and can get the ball into position on every possession. He also has played against other quality players at the college level, and there is no substitute for that. This is another quality addition to our team for next year.”

Richardson averaged 6 points and 4.5 rebounds per game for NMJC last season. He previously played basketball at Skyline High School in Dallas, Texas. As a senior at Skyline, Richardson averaged 14 points and 10 rebounds per game.

“Vincent is quick and versatile in what he can do as a player. He plays every possession as if it is the most important one of the game,” Scanlan said. “He will give us another aggressive player in the power positions. This was an area that we were very deficient in last year. We are very excited to be able to add a player of his quality this late in the recruiting process.”
