That being said, we're going pretty hard after 2018 SF Drew Peterson evidently. He's a 6-8 wing who's rated a 3* by 247 with offers from a bunch of mid-majors. It appears our biggest competition is Wisconsin, who also appears to be working hard for him although they haven't offered. A quick Twitter search shows that we've been up to see him at least 2 or 3 times this year, which is quite a bit of travel.

In this article, he says that Rice has been out to see one of his games every week for the prior month (this seems confirmed by some twitter comments from other observers)! He received a lot of interest from Wisconsin, but apparently no offer yet. Also, Illinois Prep Hoops (as well as a few other articles I read) has him in the running for Illinois' Mr. Basketball award.

Just saw a tweet that Drew Peterson has scheduled an official visit at Rice on April 7th.
