The Trojans know their backcourt has the potential to be special. Rodney Rice will be a senior this next season.
In five games prior to his injury, it looked like the Trojans hit it out of the park, acquiring him. The Trojans were off to a 5-0 start, and Rodney Rice looked every bit of a star. Rice averaged 20.
0 points per game, 6. 0 assists, and 1. 2 steals per game.
His best game came against Boise State, where he dropped 27 points, shot 57% from 3, and shot 52% from the field.
