First off, he's a shooter. The expectation is that Mullins, Hutchins(?), McBride(?), and Lawrence(?) are gonna be the lead guards. Second off, he shot 47% from 3 in his freshman year on a lot of attempts. You sign guys based off of ability and potential, even when they're seniors. Drew Peterson shot 30% and 33% from 3 in his freshman and sophomore years respectively. I'm sure USC fans were saying the same thing as you are. But the USC coaching staff dramatically changed his release, and he shot 39% this year.

Rice is most definitely not a program that can look at a kid from the Atlantic 10 who averages 10+ ppg, and was team captain, and say he's a bad pick up.
