Nice get for Rice. 4 :star2: player on 247 recruiting

Texas A&M and BYU were interested. Question is obviously how long will he stay at Rice? But impressive :clap:

Is Rice trying to become the next Duke?

Not to poo poo on their athletics or this kid’s pro future, but maybe he is doing it for the academics?

Good for the kid.

I think he is 100% doing it for the academics but that alright. Glad the kid was able to make that decision for himself.

It’s definitely the academics. Plus if Rice lands more prospects like this they’ll be great.

Fearless prediction.

If he’s as good as billed…he’ll be in the transfer portal in a year or two, or otherwise gone.

Too many good “academic” schools out there with better programs and better national profiles.

Rice seems like they have gotten a little cocky since joining the AAC. Good for them.

Personally i want Rice to be good. I like to attend a competitive game between us and them i like their old basketball arena, takes me back.

Lol Rice’s 200 fans can beat up Memphis’ 20k.
That said glad to see another 4 star staying in Houston. Would be great for Rice to get back to being respectable. It would our rivalry much better for fans

If he is in it for the education, he’ll be there for 4 or 5 years

What is his major? Plenty of good programs at A&M and Okie State. Most basketball players arent allowed to persue difficult degree programs anyway.

Did not want to sit the bench at UH for 2 years
