I saw Rico play last night against St. Aug and he didn't impress me all that much. My lil' cousin who's a freshman this year, Craig Victor, pretty much owned him in this game and shut Rico down.

Yes, I agree Rico is a tremendous athlete and can jump out the gym, but he has an adequate jumper at best and really doesn't have good ball handling skills. In college he'll have to play the 2 or 3 and from what I've seen he's somewhat underskilled for the 2 or 3.

I'm guessing from your comment about Rico having to play the 2 or 3 that he's not as tall as advertised. How big did he look in your estimation?

That's pretty much been the scouting report on him from day 1. Great athlete, not a lot of basketball skill. I hope he comes to LSU and I'm excited at the possibility, but I don't think he is a "program saver" or anything like that. I think his biggest benefit to LSU, at least early on, is from a PR standpoint. It puts LSU back on the radar of the other top Louisiana players.
