The past two weeks have been a whirlwind of success on the recruiting trail for the Rice Owls. While head coach David Bailiff is widely considered to be on the hot seat at Rice, prospective student-athletes are not hesitating to commit to his program.
Over the past two weeks Bailiff’s recruiting class has grown from just one commitment to a whopping 13, easily placing the Owls’ class at the top of Conference USA after jumping UTSA and Louisiana Tech. Per 247 Sports, Rice also currently sits at the 53rd overall commitment ranking in the nation, standing above prestigious programs such as Georgia, Alabama, and Stanford.
