2027s To Get On Your Watch List

6'1  Point Guard Elton Richardson  | 2027 Cy Falls 346-493-2274 The Best Pure PG at the DFW Camp Was Elton Richardson Coming off a Jr Season Where He was a Key Piece To a Team that Made a Run at the 2026 6A State Title.  College Ready Physically w/ The Length, Speed  & Toughness It Takes To Rise In The Ranks This Summer And Start Drawing Interest From the Scholarship Levels. Showcased Excellent Court Vision And a Solid Mid-Range Game Knocking Down Several Pull-Up Shots or Finding the Open Man When Getting In The Paint.  Must Continue To Work On His 3pt Shot but has a Good Release, Time on His Side, And The Work Ethic It Takes To Improve In All Facets.
