RE: Rice got a verbal commit from a really good "hooper".
Really good news. The new staff continues to impress. Reading through some of the blogs, I see one person said that's our top local signee dating all the way back to Greg Hines (which was probably 30 years ago?). I'm not sure I'd agree with that if you include Bobby Crawford's transfer from Michigan (he was the Texas player of the year IIRC). But it does show you that we haven't been able to sign many of the top local players - and obviously that's been a major complaint of the basketball program at Rice for years and years now.

I think Hines was +/- 2 years of when I matriculated, so that timeframe is close to spot-on.
