Quintin Richardson
posted by Scott Hood on Tuesday, June 26, 2007
Richardson was interviewed by a local sports talk show late Tuesday morning from his hospital bed, five hours before he was scheduled to be released. Richardson sounded in good spirits, and vowed to turn the unfortunate incident into a positive.
"This has made me want to become even more successful and succeed and take my game to a higher level now," Richardson said. "That's all this made me do. I'm just focused now."
Richardson confirmed he'd been stabbed seven times in the back, arm and leg. No charges have yet been filed in the case. The police say they are still investigating.
Both Richardson and his mother expressed their pleasure at the outpouring of support from Gamecock fans. "Knowing everybody was out there praying for me really shows how committed the fans are," he said. "I love those Gamecock fans."

Like all Gamecock fans everywhere, I was ecstatic to see 2007 signee Quintin Richardson of Spring Valley High School released from the hospital on Tuesday after undergoing surgery for stab wounds incurred early Sunday morning during an altercation at an apartment complex in Northeast Columbia.
