Highest rank ever for Rice at #8. Who would've guessed TCU/RICE/SMU would be top 10 teams when this started? Credit to @DangerZoneh and @Time. We all took over 0 or 1 win teams and have turned them into top ten ranked teams. Crazy.

Titans place: CB Donovan Singleton-Blake 5-10 199 2 USC [Zone Coverage] [0] 75 on injured reserve. He suffered a Severe ACL Rupture in Week 1 and is out for the season.

Well, let's keep the gameplan. 1402 offensive yards in 2 games. "Strength in Growth" feat confirmed to be legal steroids, Yates had 10 TD/5 INT in 5 starts last season. 13 TD/0 INT in 2 starts this season. Also shoutout to the only create-a-croot Deacon Jackson III getting 2 INTs in his second game. Week 8, Rice at Mizzou is going to be a crazy shootout

This is the highest Rice has ever been ranked. First time in the top ten.

Titans place: WR Nicholas Spence Jr. 6-3 181 1 Massachusetts [Target] [0] 77 on injured reserve. He suffered a Severe ACL rupture in Pre-season Week 4 and is out for the year.

Clicking on all cylinders that game. It was 27-24 when we played last year, Houston still leads the rivalry 5-3. Yates looking like a 5.0 QB, not regretting using the strength in growth feat on him. That's the 6th best game for a Rice QB, McLean had five 450+ yard, 5+TD, 0 INT games. Very happy with the 5.8 OL rating and no sacks on 45 passes. And DaJuan Banks had a nice debut.

Key Players WR Deontray Clay 6-0 226 Sr Cooper (Cooper TX) 5.0 of 5.0 [Target] Clay is the star of the group. One of the most accomplished (if not the most) WR in CFBHC history, Biletnikoff winner, Burlsworth winner, 1st team All-American, only player to lead CFBHC in receiving twice. Still amazed he returned for his senior year. He was everything I hoped for when I got him as a 2.5/5.0 croot, an instant top-flight WR for McLean. He has averaged over 7 recs, 100 yards, and a TD per game during his time here. WR Darius Watkins 5-11 168 (Sr) Denison (Denison TX) 4.5 of 4.5 [Speed] Watkins has been Clay's vice-president during their 4 year tenure. Clay/Watkins has been the tandem since they were freshman. A stud in the slot, Watkins had 30 TDs in his first two seasons before dropping off a cliff last season, seeing his production halved despite the offense and his role being the same. He has to prove this season that his early production was not just a product of McLean. OT A'Shawn McNair 6-5 262 (Sr) DeLeon (DeLeon TX) 5.0 of 5.0 [Pass Blocking] McNair has been the four year starter at left tackle. The blind-side protector. Hard to tell if how much NFLHC talent he has but I know C-USA DEs haven't fared well against him. He will be hard to replace. OG Marcelo Moon 6-2 285 Sr Kilgore College (Kilgore TX) 5.0 of 5.0 [Pass Blocking] Moon came in as a JUCO last season, knowing that I would need to replace 1st round pick Raphael Brannon this season. Not much to say other than A'Shawn McNair and Marcelo Moon are cool names. ATH Brandon Dawkins 6-7 268 (Sr) Floydada (Floydada TX) 4.0 of 4.0 [Blitz] If Dawkins was a 5.0, he'd be a top prospect. He's been a stud. In his 27 career games, he's made 23 statsheets, 24 TFLs, and 27.5 sacks. He's very consistent and almost every box score in the past two seasons, I see him with a TFL and a sack. He lives in the backfield. With him being a 6-7, 268 lb blitzing athlete, he certainly turns heads. (For draft scouts, he's been playing as a 4-3 DE). OLB Austin Talbert 6-3 222 Sr Central Carolina Community College (Pittsboro NC) 4.5 of 5.0 [Blitz] This is actually Talbert's first season at Rice, played JUCO last season. Wanted to redshirt him but my 4.0/4.0 blitz OLB declared early so Talbert has to fill the gap now. P Raymond Land 6-1 182 (Sr) Houston Lutheran North (Houston TX) 4.5 of 4.5 [Power] A three year starter at punter, Land hopefully doesn't see the field much. Starters WR Curtis Crump 5-11 195 (Sr) Floydada (Floydada TX) 3.5 of 3.5 [Speed] C Thomas Amato 6-3 265 (Sr) Hazel Green (Hazel Green AL) 3.5 of 3.5 [Pass Blocking] FS Abdul Starks 6-1 185 (Sr) Huntsville (Huntsville TX) 3.5 of 3.5 [Zone Coverage] LS Alec Lowry 6-0 260 Sr Flatonia (Flatonia TX) 2.5 of 2.5 [Specialized] Bench RB Kaden Porter 5-9 203 (Sr) Cooper (Cooper TX) 3.5 of 3.5 [Speed] RB Dylan Gardner 5-7 187 Sr Albany (Albany LA) 2.0 of 2.0 [Speed] TE Chance Barber 6-6 194 Sr W.B. Travis (Austin TX) 3.0 of 3.0 [Receiving] TE Mateo Walters 6-4 201 Sr Tarkington (Cleveland TX) 2.5 of 2.5 [Receiving] OG Bronson Alexander 6-6 305 (Sr) Kaufer (Riviera TX) 3.5 of 3.5 [Pass Blocking] OT Alex Reedy 6-3 321 Sr Woodsboro (Woodsboro TX) 3.5 of 3.5 [Run Blocking] OT Hunter Curran 6-6 268 Sr Greenhill (Dallas TX) 3.0 of 3.0 [Run Blocking] OT Frederick Higgins 6-7 294 Sr Pineville (Pineville LA) 2.5 of 2.5 [Run Blocking] DT Xavier Ransom 6-2 300 (Sr) New Deal (New Deal TX) 3.5 of 3.5 [2-Gap] DT Giovanni Jenkins 6-2 311 Sr Greenhill (Dallas TX) 2.5 of 2.5 [1-Gap] OLB Liam Whitt 5-11 240 Sr Lordsburg (Lordsburg NM) 2.5 of 2.5 [Blitz] OLB Mark Bynum 5-11 237 Sr Cooper (Cooper TX) 2.5 of 2.5 [Blitz] OLB Solomon Rizzo 5-11 230 Sr Pasadena (Pasadena TX) 2.0 of 2.0 [Coverage] CB Bruce Blackwell 6-2 165 Sr Iraan (Iraan TX) 3.5 of 3.5 [Zone Coverage] CB Mario Posey 5-11 173 Sr Fort Stockton (Fort Stockton TX) 2.5 of 2.5 [Zone Coverage] SS Joel Nunn 5-11 171 Sr Frankston (Frankston TX) 3.0 of 3.0 [Zone Coverage] Overall, there is a lot on the line this season as I think we have a legit title shot. But I still have to figure out QB Benjamin Yates or else I'm not winning the C-USA. Also, there's a lot of players I'm excited to see at the next level. Despite most people thinking Rice has been this super-talented team beating the shit out of the C-USA, Rice has only had 6 players drafted in its 10 year history. Southern Miss has had 7 players drafted in its 6 year history. But now it's time (hopefully) for Rice to become a talent factory as I'm expecting to double the amount of Rice players in the NFLHC with this class. Going to be tough to replace the holes left behind.

Titans place: SS Victor Hicks 5-11 177 1 Clemson [Zone Coverage] [0] 76 on injured reserve. He suffered a Severe ACL rupture in Pre-season Week 3 and is out for the year.

Jamal Trufant had a way better preseason than last year. Glad he's looking like he actually has potential now. Maybe Dess is showing him the way. 2023 preseason: 3 GP, 37 att for 94 yds, 0 TD, 2.54 YPC, long of 9 2024 preseason: 3 GP, 45 att for 253 yds, 2 TD, 5.62 YPC, long of >10 in each game

God dammit. Logan Evans out for half the season now. Welcome to Tennessee. At least Kareem went off. He doesn't want to lose that backup job to Christian Graham.
