2020 signees
Still reeling from the loss but still going to be young. Is Abercrombie eligible to play immediately?
Abercrombie played in 18 games last season at Boise after redshirting the year prior. Without a waiver, he'd most likely have to sit a season at Rice before playing but I haven't seen anything official one way or another yet.
Nice pickup for the Owls today. Sharpshooting VMI guard Travis Evee has committed to Rice. He'll sit next season and have three years to play three seasons.
Evee averaged 12.6 points per game last season. He played in 33 games and shot 36.2 percent from three.
Guard Cavit Ege Havsa from Utah Valley State has committed to Rice. He averaged 5.7 minutes per game across seven contests in his first season at the school. He had previously transferred from Fordham.
JUCO guard Jake Lieppert is transferring to Rice. He'll have three years of eligibility remaining. Lieppert was a DII third-team All-American last year with Pima CC in Tucson where he averaged 23.7 points per game.
Rice has picked up another transfer. Furman grad transfer Tre Clark will play his final season at Rice.
A 6'5" guard, Clark averaged 3.4 rebounds and 3.3 points per game in his last season with the Paladins.
