The Roost Podcast | Ep 150 – Rice Football and AAC Preview with Taylor McHargue

By

The Roost Podcast continues its AAC football previews with former Rice Football quarterback and current broadcaster Taylor McHargue.

As we’ve toured the AAC we’ve hit on a lot of Rice football opponents thus far — and we’ll talk big picture AAC things on this episode — but it seemed due time to focus a little bit more on the Owls. We talk about expectations for Rice in 2023 with former Owls’ quarterback Taylor McHargue and hand out some preseason superlatives for Rice’s new conference mates.

You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 150.

Rice Baseball 2023: MLB Owls update – July 11

By

The 2023 MLB season is underway and Rice baseball alums are busy on the mound and at the plate. Here’s the latest from the MLB Owls.

New MLB Owls

The 2023 MLB Draft was held this week with three current Rice baseball players selected, all pitchers. Just one year removed from his transition from catcher to pitcher, Justin Long was selected by the Braves in the seventh round, 219th overall.

The Diamondbacks picked the other two Owls drafted this year. Hayden Durke was selected in the 13th round, 385th overall. Matthew Linskey went a few rounds later in the 16th round, 475th overall.

Dane Myers – Miami Marlins

Myers has been nothing short of phenomenal since getting his promotion to the big leagues in early July. Through six career games, he’s dazzled with his bat and some nifty base running, making five starts for the Marlins, all in center field. He’s recorded at least one RBI in five of his six appearances so far and is hitting a ridiculous .625 against left-handed pitching.

Through the All-Star Break, Myers is hitting .409 with two extra-base hits, no walks and six strikeouts. His OPS is 1.000 and he’s collected six RBI.

J.T. Chargois – Miami Marlins

Chargois made two appearances in the week leading up to the All-Star Break, the first coming on July 5 when he worked through a turbulent fifth inning against the Cardinals, walking two, but recording a pair of strikeouts to prevent any runs from being charged to his ledger. His second outing was much smoother, escaping the seventh inning against the Phillies with an inning-ending double play on just his second pitch.

Through the All-Star Break, Chargois has a 3.27 ERA with a 1.136 WHIP. He’s averaging 7.0 strikeouts per nine innings.

Glenn Otto – Texas Rangers

Otto made his third appearance of this season, this week, all of which have come in relief. He worked the sixth and seventh innings against the Nationals on Friday, earning his first official hold of the year. He allowed one run via a solo home, but otherwise turned in a crisp six outs, four by way of the strikeout.

Through the All-Star Break, Otto has a 7.11 ERA with a 1.105 WHIP. He’s averaging 8.5 strikeouts per nine innings.

Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels

Redone left a game last week with a bruised shin after fouling a ball off his leg but wasn’t placed on the injured list. There’s some optimism he returns to the lineup shortly after the conclusion of the All-Star Break.

Through the All-Star Break, Rendon is hitting .236 with eight extra-base hits, 25 walks and 27 strikeouts. His OPS is .678 and he’s collected 22 RBI.

2023 Rice Football Season Preview: Wide Receiver

By

Next up in our 2023 Rice Football Season Preview: wide receiver. Let’s dive into the position and break down the Owls’ plans for the group this year.

As of the end of June, it seemed reasonable to conclude the wide receiver room was the deepest position group Rice football would bring into the 2023 season. That might still very well be the case, but the room dynamics will inevitably shift with the loss of star wideout Bradley Rozner to the Transfer Portal in early July. Here’s how the position looks in 2023.

Rice Football wide receiver Cedric Patterson no longer on roster

By

Further attrition has hit the Rice football wide receiver room. Another potential starter, Cedric Patterson, is not expected to return in 2023.

Innocuous roster updates happen every so often throughout the offseason. Walk-on players and lesser-known transfers are added to the list of players expected to be with the Rice football program for the coming season. Names are retracted, too, for various reasons ranging from medical retirements to players choosing to pursue other collegiate endeavors.

It was in one such roster update that wideout Cedric Patterson was removed from the Owls’ roster.

As best as is possible, a running tracker of every change to the Rice roster this offseason has been maintained here. Patterson’s removal marks the 18th player with remaining eligibility who has departed this offseason. And with Bradley Rozner’s recent entry into the Transfer Portal — his name was removed from the roster this week.

Update: Multiple sources confirmed to The Roost that Patterson’s removal stems from an injury suffered in the spring. He will be medically retiring from football, but is expected to remain around the team.

Needless to say, this development compounds the Rozner news and will have massive ramifications for how the Owls will operate at the position this coming season.  The wide receiver portion of the 2023 Rice Football Season Preview has been updated to reflect these changes and has just been released here.

If you’re not a subscriber yet, now would be a great time to take advantage of our free trial and find out how the team will adjust to the changes in the wide receiver room this season.

2023 Rice Football Season Preview: Running Back

By

Next up in our 2023 Rice Football Season Preview: running back. Let’s dive into the position and break down the Owls’ plans for the group this year.

The running game was meant to be the bread and butter of the Rice football offense under Mike Bloomgren, but it’s been a slog in recent years for a myriad of reasons. Will 2023 be the year the ground game breaks through? And if so, what is it going to take from the personnel on hand (and/or the scheme) to get that aspect of the Owls’ offense moving? Here’s how the position looks in 2023.
