Hillsborough gets 2 from Bloomingdale By DON BANKS; BRIAN LANDMAN Published April 11, 1990 Forward Darrin Richardson and guard Alvin Harris, both of Bloomingdale, have made verbal commitments to sign with Hillsborough Community College, Bulls basketball coach Phil Zimmerman said Tuesday. Today is the first day of the spring signing season, the month-long period when high school seniors can sign basketball, baseball or softball scholarships. Richardson and Harris, important cogs in Bloomingdale's all-senior lineup that went 25-5 and won its second straight Western Conference National Division crown, will make their commitment official by siging with the Falcons some time in the coming weeks, HCC coach Joe Patton said. "They've committed to us and we've committed to them," Patton said. "We're looking forward to having them both here. They come from an outstanding program. We know they're good quality players." Harris, a 6-foot shooting guard, averaged 18.5 points per game this season and finished his three-year career as the Bulls' career leading scorer with more than 1,100 points. Richardson, a 6-4 small forward, averaged 13.2 and 9.2 rebounds this season. Like Harris, he was a three-year starter for the Bulls. "They pretty much wanted to go and play together somewhere," Bloomingdale coach Phil Zimmerman said. "If they go over there and work for a couple years, prove a little more basketball-wise, they're in a good situation."
