What Did Richmond’s Promise to Taj Hotton Say About How It Rated Him?
The full RTSSG member feature How Richmond made good on a promise to first-round draftee after ACL injury in May starts with a question that is still worth asking.
Richmond told Taj Hotton after his ACL injury that it still wanted him, then used pick 12 to make good on that faith. What exactly was the club betting on?
Hotton’s draft year was interrupted by a serious knee injury, yet Richmond’s interest survived the lost football. Which traits were strong enough to outweigh the medical uncertainty? How much did the club know about the player it was buying, and how should that confidence be judged once rehabilitation became development?
The point of the Public doorway is not to settle those questions here. It is to identify the evidence, the disturbance and the next question — then leave the synthesis where it belongs: in the full member feature.
