Assessing the talent: A much better run blocker than pass. A fine looking guard. A lot taller than most guards recruited by Nebraska in the past.

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 90% He likes the coaching staff at Nebraska a lot. Bill, Buesh played the major recruiter. Grades are a concern now. There is no doubt in my mind he will sign with NU if he can make the grade.

Rodney Picou of Moreno Valley, California, has all been added to the roster for January's U.S. Army All-American Game.

On Tom Lemming's site something was mentioned that if Rodney Picou could get his grades up and if USC were to offer him he would decommit and go to USC..

This may be just a rumor right now but one to watch out for ...

He'll be in Lincoln this week 11/26/04 on an official to NU

Now that Picou has visited, it will be interesting to see if he has been serious about the Huskers this whole time.

I have also read reports that USC will not offer him.

He took his SAT and scored a 760..He needs around a 900. This is going to get interesting

Last night on Sports Nightly, "Roz" (Husker Ill.) reported that this is a guy who we should be very concerned about....... I believe it was reported that he gets 3 more shots at the test though.... It is interesting though that he has elected to play in two all-star games instead of working on academics....Marlon Lucky chose not to participate in CaliFlorida game becuase of academic conflict...

Also on a side note. It was awesome to see Picou down first to greet Lucky after his 18 yard ankle breaking scamper to paydirt in the Army All-Star game. He sprinted down there to meet him. Feelin the love.

have heard minor rumblings about Rodney taking a greyshirt - this may open up yet another spot!!!

:cheers

 

[kramer]

Is there a reason. Can't pass classes, or because we need to make room for another guy?

Straight from the guy's mouth, BRR is reporting that a grayshirt is not in his plans.
