I wanted to give yall a quick update with the news breaking on Sunday. Chris Vannini of The Athletic was first to report Rice head coach Mike Bloomgren would be back in 2022. This lines up with conversations I’ve had in recent weeks. Every indication up to this point has been that Bloomgren would return in 2022. This is not a surprise.
