By

All-American Level subscribers on Patreon get access to a monthly Q&A with me. This update we’ll rank the Rice football position groups for 2021.

Q. Which Rice football position group are you the most confident in for this year? And if they have a weakness, what is it? How would you rank the positions?

A. This exercise was really, really hard. A couple of weeks ago it would have been pretty easy to slide quarterback down to the bottom of the list, but with Luke McCaffrey on board, they’re definitely not the position group I’m most worried about? But how far should they climb?

Here’s where I ended up in my best attempt to rank positions in terms of confidence level.

Will Rice women’s basketball win without Tina Langley? All-American Q&A

By

All-American Level subscribers on Patreon get access to a monthly Q&A with me. This update focuses on Rice women’s basketball and their new coach.

Q. Tina Langley was one of the best coaches Rice Athletics has ever had. Had it not been for COVID and a bad game in the 2021 C-USA Tournament, it’s possible Rice could have made three NCAA Tournament appearances with her direction. The new hire seems strong, but can Rice realistically maintain anywhere near this level of consistency?

A. What Tina Langley accomplished for Rice women’s basketball was incredible. I won’t reiterate the entire list of accolades, which most of you are probably already familiar with anyhow, but to win 49-of-54 conference games (91 percent) is unbelievable at any level of collegiate athletics, and any sport, for that matter. So what does life for Rice look like after Langley?

By

All-American Level subscribers on Patreon get access to a monthly Q&A with me. This update focuses on the newly begun Rice baseball season.

Q. It’s hard to believe Rice baseball would ever be “rebuilding” but if that is the case, when will it be over? When are the Owls going back to Omaha?

A. Rice baseball was the premier program of the university and a standard-bearer for the state under Wayne Graham. But things have fallen off over the last several years, bottoming out in an abridged 2-14 season in the spring of 2020.

Is the Transfer Portal bad news for Rice Football? All-American Q&A

By

All-American Level subscribers on Patreon get access to a monthly Q&A with me. This update focuses on Rice football and the Transfer Portal.

Q. Losing Blaze Alldredge to the portal came out of nowhere. Did Rice ever have a chance to keep Blaze? Or is Rice going to be a stepping stone to get to Power 5 programs?

A. There are really two separate questions embedded into one theme, so I’ll address each separately. First, on Blaze. From the moment the final whistle sounded against UAB I was under the impression his Rice career was finished…

What’s about Rice Football seniors and eligibility for 2021? All-American Q&A

By

All-American Level subscribers on Patreon get access to a monthly Q&A with me. This update focuses on eligibility and potential Rice football returning seniors.

Q. Can Collins come back since he only played 3 games?

Q. Do you expect any senior/grad transfers to come back next year?

A. There were a couple of questions to this effect in my most recent mailbag ask, so I decided to address them together, starting with the eligibility rules for the 2020 season and leading into how that impacts Rice football specifically in 2021 and beyond.

First, the 2020 season did not count against the eligibility of anyone who played football this fall.
