Scout.com's Eric Bossi on Rico:
"I've known Rico since he was between the 8th and 9th grade and have been watching him play forever. He had a chance to go down as one of the most decorated, if not the most, decorated Kansas high school player of all time. He had his mis-steps at home and I'm glad to see him getting his life back in order. He's always been a wonderful kid to be around but has found himself around trouble and unable to resist saying no. I do believe that around good people he will be fine. I love the kid to death.
What is interesting is that at his old high school and during summer ball he has played almost exclusively off the ball as a shooting guard. Excellent shooter who hits lots of big shots. Relatively strong kid but not a particularly great athlete. He's certainly not one of those little guards who plays above the rim. If he's really playing as a full time point guard now, that's a pretty significant development in his game.
Had no offers before leaving Topeka. I know KSU is interested, but I do not believe that they have actually offered yet. I've been getting lots of calls from college coaches looking to dig into his background."
