Basketball Hall of Famer Mitch Richmond never planned on attending Kansas State until Dana Altman made a deal
A Florida native, Richmond wasn't too fond of life in the Midwest. If he remained in Big 8 country , he would have played at Missouri or Oklahoma.
"Dana was like, `Hey man, you need to go check out K-State," Richmond said in an interview with Kansas State Wildcats on SI. "I'm like, `Man, I'm not going to no K-State.' I had been seeing Big 8 basketball, especially being in Missouri. I would go to a lot of Missouri games because Missouri was recruiting me heavy. Missouri thought they had me ... K-State was not on my roster.
Richmond still had doubts but then he thought about how Altman helped his game develop. He arrived at Moberly as an inside player. While Richmond lived in Altman's basement for two years, they worked on him becoming a better shooter. He is still regarded as one of the NBA's best perimeter players.
