To summarize where we are, Rice has 1 scholarship open for the 2017 class (Drone graduating, though this could expand if there is a transfer or if either Koulechov or Jackson, both RS Juniors, graduate and decide not to play their 5th season at Rice).

The early-signing period runs from 11/7 to 11/16. The following players have taken official visits to Rice since classes began and have not yet committed elsewhere:
Myles Franklin, 6'4" PG
Greg Elliott, 6'4" SG
Clyde Trapp Jr., 6'4" SG

Other players with known offers from Rice who have not committed elsewhere:
Emmanual Lambright, 6'6" SG
Caleb Simmons, 6'5" SF
Mohamed Bamba, 7'0" PF - highly unlikely (top-5 player), still listed on verbalcommits, but saw tweet that he has trimmed his list to 7 schools with Rice excluded
