Pickens Scout.com RSS Engine v1.0 (Server:SCOUTWEB3) 60 The ASU offense has morphed itself into a high-tempo, quick scoring machine over the past couple of seasons. It's a unit loaded with gifted skill players, perhaps none more-so than at wide receiver where each week it seems a new player steps up to make a significant contribution. One of those talented players is AJ Pickens. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/1126837.html 2047 Byron Kline http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/1126837.html Thu, 10 Nov 2011 03:01:00 GMT 0 43 Arizona State arizonastate Often in sports the production of a team’s star players isn’t what win games, rather it’s the unexpected production from role players that makes the difference between winning and losing. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/1114346.html 2047 Jon Kingston http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/1114346.html Thu, 06 Oct 2011 04:37:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate For his first two years at Arizona State, A.J. Pickens was somewhat of an unknown. He redshirted as a true freshman in 2008 and failed to record a reception in the three games he played in the 2009 season. Now with a couple years of experience under his belt, Pickens has caught passes in consecutive games and is starting to garner attention from Sun Devil coaches and fans alike. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/1011434.html 2047 Darren Schwandt http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/1011434.html Wed, 13 Oct 2010 04:19:00 GMT 0 43 Arizona State arizonastate First it was Rudy Burgess.
