Comments

* Richard Brenton is a very athletic big man, has all the physical tools to be a great player. He has the ability to score from fifteen feet inwards (great jump shot), and his good hands and size allow him to be an outstanding rebounder.
He has placed his team 3rd in the national tournament, won one conference championship and has played in the conference finals three years. He is a pure scorer, who is concise of teammates, and as better shot.
