Cajuns dip into Florida talent pool
<center><a href="https://forumeus.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=22388#post22388"><b> Complete list of 2005 verbal commitments </b></a></center><hr><blockquote><p align=justify>The University of Louisiana has gone into Florida for the third time in its 2005 football recruiting, getting a verbal commitment from defensive end Terrell Richardson of Escambia High in Pensacola, Fla.
Richardson, a 6-foot-4 1/2, 225-pounder, gave Ragin' Cajun head coach Rickey Bustle a verbal commitment on Monday after an official visit two weeks ago.
"They got themselves a good one," said Escambia coach Ronnie Gilliland. "He's been a leader for us for three years, and I expect great things out of him."
Richardson was a three-year starter at defensive end and finished a sub-par season for the perennially-strong Escambia program with 68 tackles, four sacks, five tackles for losses and two fumble recoveries.
"I like rushing the quarterback more than anything," said Richardson, who has been clocked in 4.7 in the 40. "They (UL) told me that a big part of their defense is putting pressure on the quarterback, so I think that'll fit in well with my strengths."
Escambia's Gators finished a hurricane-marred season (the squad had to cancel two weeks of the season) with a 1-7 record, but Richardson was still a first-team All-Northwest Florida selection by the Pensacola News-Journal. He was also a member of the North Florida All-Star Team and was a Class 4A All-Region selection.

"We didn't get to practice or do anything for two weeks," said Gilliland. "It really knocked us back a lot. But he (Richardson) did a lot of good things against good teams. Of the eight games we played, seven were against teams in the playoffs, one won a state title, one was in the semifinals and two were in the third round."
Escambia - alma mater of NFL all-time rushing leader Emmitt Smith - was 7-3 in Richardson's junior year and had a win over perennial Louisiana power John Curtis in an intersectional game that year. Richardson's freshman and sophomore squads were undefeated.
"He's always been a hard worker for us," said Gilliland. "He's also a starter on the basketball team, so he's a good all-around athlete."
Richardson had offers from fellow Sun Belt Conference members Middle Tennessee and Troy and drew interest from most of Florida's major schools. He is solid on core requirements but is still awaiting results of test scores, and said that some schools backed away because test scores were not finalized.
"A lot of other schools, it was like they didn't care about what I needed to do," Richardson said. "They (UL coaches) sat down and showed me exactly what I needed to do and what I needed to finish becoming eligible. I liked the coaches a lot, and I really liked the town when I visited."
Richardson is the Ragin' Cajuns' 23rd commitment to this year's recruiting class, but one of those 23 has backed out of his commitment. Cornerback Arthur Stubblefield of Aldine Eisenhower in the Houston area, an early Cajun pledge, has since committed to North Texas.
