Rodney Coe

[carlfense]

Rivals (who I trust more than Scout) lists Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Oklahoma and Tennessee as the schools he's high on. Doesn't even list Nebraska as low interest.

Mizzou offered (Edwardsville is just across the river from St. Louis, and I think Coe's father lives in Columbia), but I think they cooled on him, since he's stated he wants an offense the feature Rodney Coe as the featured back. Mizzou's offense won't be a running attack as long as Pinkel is coach.

:rollin

Missouri cooled on a :star :star :star :star :star running back.

Now I've heard them all. You're a funny guy MUTigerFan.

That's not saying they wouldn't take the kid, but I understand that they're not busting a hump over someone who wants Mizzou to change its offense to suit him.

Exactly. Pinkel knows he could never actually get a good running back so they "cooled" on the kid so their feelings don't get hurt. The last school I would look at as a RB outside of maybe Houston is MU.

Bingo. Kind of like Texas calling kids and saying that they will offer them a scholarship if they will commit to UT and cancel all trips . . . but if they won't do that they won't receive an offer. Purely a face saving move.

(Although, MU has had a few good backs. Temple was above average. That said, no one on their current roster is very impressive.)

Derrick Washington ran for 1900 yards the last 2 seasons on a pass oriented team, and had a bad knee most of last season. Not too shabby.

Washington looks hesitant. He does far too much side to side running for my tastes. Not to mention he looked a step slower this year compared to last. I wouldn't trade any of the top 3 at NU for him . . . and that's not just rose colored glasses. Missouri fans said similar things about him last year.

And it’s probably best not to talk smack about rushing for 1900 yards in two seasons on a Nebraska board. We’ve had QBs with more rushing yards than that.

There is a summary of Coe's weekend visits in his profile.

Nothing says grade-schooler better than "talk smack".
