By Joey Knight Published Yesterday Only 19 games into his USF career, redshirt junior Laquincy Rideau already has drawn comparisons to the best point guards in program history. Soon, he’ll have a statistical argument to bolster his fledgling case. Rideau enters Saturday’s game at East Carolina (4 p.m., ESPNU) with 62 steals. With seven more, he breaks the Bulls' 45-year-old single-season record held by Hillsborough High alumnus Leon Smith. Rest of story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBA teams will want him to be an inch or two taller but he looks & plays bigger than his 6'1 listing suggests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right but I don't think he gets a sniff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes... but it doesn't take 4 years to be an all time great at USF. Especially if they make some kind of crazy run. I feel like he's just a leader and facilitator. I can't really think of a point guard we had in recent history that gave us more than 2 solid years. He's already going to break the single season steals record 2/3 of the way through the season. I feel like next season he could very well be an elite guard. He has the talent around him to make that jump. point guard that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
