RE: Rhoades Recruiting
Final 2016 rankings were just published by 247. Josh Hall is up from 140 to 104 (imagine what he could've done at Rice). The best CUSA recruit is Quentin Jackson (Charlotte) at 133. Ako Adams dropped out of the top 247 (he's at 260, Austin Meyer is at 333), not surprising considering he battled injuries for a lot of the season. Tim Harrison comes in at 171, our only representative. On the bright side, some of the schools who have commitments ranked below Tim: Pittsburgh, Northwestern, Tennessee, Florida State, West Virginia, Miami, Maryland, Indiana, USC, etc. As far as team rankings go, Rice is still well ahead of everybody else, although 247 isn't one of the sites that notes a lot of the lower recruits (Martin and Douglas aren't included, a ton of other conference recruits aren't included). According to 247, with just Tim, Ako, and Austin, we're the 71st ranked class in the country. Schools we're ahead of include Kansas State, West Virginia, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Boston College.
