Don't have any commits yet, but I was just looking at our offer list on 247Sports and thought I'd start a thread... These aren't all of the guys to which we have outstanding offers, but the ones I thought were particularly intriguing.
Aaron Allen, Dual Threat QB, Ridge Point... Bailiff's neighborhood... Other Offers: Cornell, ULM, UNM, UNT, UNLV, McNeese
Josh Jynes, OG, DeSoto... Always need to be recruiting "DeSoto U"... Other Offers: Colorado, UTSA, UAPB, Jackson St.
Alex Jacobs, RB, Cy Ridge... We've taken lots of guys from here lately, and need to take some RBs this class... Other Offers: None
Marquese Albert, RB, John Curtis (LA)... NO OFFER, visited earlier this week... Would really like to see us recruit LA more. So many good players and we only have one on our roster (Houston Robert)... Other Offers: South Alabama
Jake Spytak, OT, The Woodlands... Seemed excited about his offer on Twitter... Other Offers: Army, Tulsa, SMU, UNT, Most Ivy League schools

We've recruited at least one other kid from Ridge Point. I'll have to dig around and get the name. Allen is a longshot for Rice.
Is Jake Syptak related to John Syptak I wonder (John was from Bellville).
Adam Coleman retweeted this morning that Rice in the final 10 for one of the top 10 tight ends in the country - Malcolm Epps of Dekaney High School. He's 6-5 1/2, 218. His top 10 schools are Rice, UT, A&M, Alabama, Florida State, Florida, Ohio State, UCLA, Michigan and Georgia. Apparently he's pretty good friends with Aaron Cephus (who is also from Dekaney). Seems to be a real longshot but it's pretty cool to see Rice in the final 10 on that list.

Yes, UCLA is in the pacific time zone, and the other 9 schools are all in the east or central time zones.

Not exactly what I was thinking, but true.
The other nine are public schools. Rice is a private institution.

That's done to ensure none of the other competitors have to reveal the values of their respective inducements!

By leaving us on his list, a recruit who has zero intention of coming here can still say, in effect, "Just so ya' know, I could go to a smart school if I wanted to".

It seems that there are 'n' possibilities for this list of 'n' schools/teams:
One has a bovine as its mascot.
One has a Native American as its mascot.
One has a tree's seed as its mascot
One has a dog as its mascot
One has its own students/graduates as its mascot.
One has a viscious weasel as its mascot
One has a bear as its mascot
One has a red elephant as its mascot.
One has an owl as its mascot.
Curious why you hate Georgia enough to call its students dogs.

Trebuchets and gazilchers can powerfully launch almost anything.
Thought I'd mention something I just saw on twitter: a 2018 OL recruit from Houston just committed to UVA. He had other offers from Princeton, Yale, Brown, SMU, Vandy, and a couple others. Somehow he didn't have a Rice offer. I feel like that's the kid we need to be getting. Obviously there could've been extraneous circumstances, but letting a high academic kid from Houston leave w/o an offer seems like a problem.
Offer to QB Brady McBride from Coppell HS.
Someone just committed based on Coach Okam's most recent tweet. Not sure who it is yet.
