I think there’s something odd going on there... He doesn’t have the depth of offers you’d expect for an Army All-American.
The only guy we’ve had committed to us who played in that game lately was Brenden Brady who later flipped to UTSA... But he was a late addition and from SA (where they play the game).

Sounds like he doesn’t really want to come to Rice like I guessed. Waiting for a P5 offer.

Hey, at least he prefers us to FAU.

Grad transfer LT offer.
He’s taking officials to UT OU and Miami. I’d say we’re out

Justin Bickham leaving Rice. Another guy (like VJ Banks) who peaked his freshmen year.

That’s right Banks peaked early. Early enough to transfer to Colorado St and finish this season with 3 picks. But who’s counting.

Didn’t notice how he was handled but if I was a betting man I’d say encouraged to move on going with the younger guys.

Colorado State was 3-9 and lost its last 5 games. We didn't miss Banks at all. Or Preston Gordon. I thought we might miss JT Ibe a bit (although he must have gotten hurt since he only played 4 games for South Carolina), and obviously we did miss Calvin Anderson.
So far, I'd say we might miss Eskupa, and we won't miss Bickham.
RE: [split] Mike Bloomgren's 2nd Rice recruiting class - elw4796 - 12-06-2018 09:38 PM
Bickham bums me out. He was great freshman year but just lost a step the next two (I don't recall what he injured...if it was his lower body that might be the explanation). Good cover guy underneath but all you had to do was run in a straight line and you'd have him beat by 3+ steps.
RE: [split] Mike Bloomgren's 2nd Rice recruiting class - Buho00 - 12-06-2018 10:32 PM
Bickham will be missed. Esukpa as well, but I'd chose Bickham over him if I could keep one. We missed Banks, Gordon, Anderson, all of them, those are some of our best players leaving at their peak. We have one JUCO committed, but need a couple of transfers to make up for these losses.

Banks transferred last year, Neumeyer got DQ’ed like three years ago, and Thompson wasn’t even with the team this year.

Correct in Neumeyer he was part of the class that would be seniors 2019. Thompson was with the team all season but elected to graduate and forego senior season. He participated in senior day activities. Lest we forget the crown jewelnof that class who took his cat and transferred last year.
Anyway, Point is Bloom should have some space to ad some transfers with the departure of the transfers and two guys not taking their 5th year(going to Med school for one and the other I believe injury). Will be interesting to see what he can drum up. Going to be tough sledding in spring though. We already struggle with numbers in spring ball and now take that minus a few.

Thompson didn’t play this year was my point (and in only a few games last year for that matter).

Correct. I know he’s battled injuries and I think was expected to play this year but hit by injury bug again before season.
Maybe if Bloom can ad a couple of JUCO or grad transfer quality lineman his ground and pound philosophy will start to grow some legs next year.
