Basketball gets 13 total scholarships (making the number baseball gets seem ridiculous, but that is another story for another day). This presumes Marcus Jackson and Koulechov use their 5th year of eligibilty for 2017-18 at Rice.

2016-17 roster:
SR: Drone
JR: Jackson (RS), Koulechov (RS), Mency
SO: Evans, Letcher-Ellis, Cashaw
FR: Lott (RS), Harrison, Adams, Martin, Meyer, Douglas

Verbal commits seems to be pretty up to date and they show Jackson as a senior with Drone instead of a Jr (RS). Already have Lott correct as a Fr (RS). I wonder if Marcus Jackson has planned on graduating and we will actually have 2 spots? Or it could just be oversight.

Verbal Commits is pretty good, but I have noticed a number of errors over the last few years. I send them a message through their website when I notice an error and they have been good about updating. My guess is that Marcus Jackson's listing on their roster is an oversite, rather than them having inside info.

I thought that Jackson and Lott had already been granted the redshirt year, am I mistaken? Did they not apply in the fall? Why would it take so long to grant, or is there a procedural thing that says they have to wait until after the school year is over to consider granting a redshirt year to an athlete?
