Tahj Rice
- Thread starter DACats86
- Start date
DA, you beat me to it. Supposedly has offers from USC, Oregon and Va Tech among others. As hard as DL are to find one would think you'd be interested in one in your backyard and a 4* at that. What's up with this?

Out of Louisville (Ky.) Waggener Traditional, Rice is a powerful, wide body that can run.
“Duke is getting a big-time athlete with a high ceiling,” Aspirations Fitness founder Chris Vaughn said. He's been working with Rice for years. “Physically he’ll be able to come in and play as a freshman.”

He was quoted a while back as saying if Kentucky offered it would "shake things up", but no offer came. Yea it's a new day in recruiting Kentucky passing on in-state 4 stars instead of the other way around.
Committed with a super-hero theme video.

I expect Rice to fall in the next ratings update while a couple of our players will get a bump. Wouldn't be shocked to see Rice as a 5.6 and Jarren Williams as a 5.8 at the very least.
There hasn't been adequate research done on the 2018 class yet as 2017 just ended. Rice reminds me of Tyrone Pearson (?) of a few years back. In state D lineman ranked extremely high in the initial rankings only to end up as a WKU commit after UK pulled his offer.
There will be LOTS of movement as 24/7 and Rivals start looking at 2018 closer.
I wouldn't fret at his loss by a whole lot, but I wish the young man nothing but the best in his future.
Maybe he blows up and we do end up getting involved, but it doesn't look likely as of this moment.

I thought Williams would get bumped but he actually dropped in the rankings. He went from 17th to 23rd rated dt qb.
3kidsandme,
It seems like one of these next ratings update is the biggest as far as movements go every year at Rivals. Usually happens in late June, if I remember right.

Tyrone Pearson? lol
The Rice kid just committed to Duke. Pearson was an academics red flag from the very start.
Interesting to see if his teammate Brents stays on the elite recruit level. Has offers from Bama, Oregon, USC...
