Re: Justin Rice Coming to USU
From an interview with his dad:
He is considering his value in the NFL and will only leave ASU for professional football or an attractive Power Five opportunity. He added Justin is not headed to Utah State, where former A-State coach Blake Anderson is taking over the program.
Happy he changed his mind!

Re: Justin Rice Coming to USU
This is a massive, MASSIVE get. Rice was the preseason MW DPOY and transferred when it looked like the MW season was going to be canceled. He's an instant starter, and very well may be an NFL guy. I'm so hyped about this, what a get by Anderson.

AJ and Justin Should make for a solid core of backers. BA is doing wonderful so far.

Re: Justin Rice Coming to USU
I would have for sure thought that Shelley would would have been your favorite transfer. Lol
Re: Justin Rice Coming to USU
Haha there were a lot of people who were really excited about that! I have a family member who was convinced Shelley was the next great Aggie QB. I was never there with him though. Sometimes star rankings and offer lists can be deceiving, I don't think there's anything deceiving about Rice's talent though.Aggie84025 wrote: ↑January 9th, 2021, 2:23 pmI would have for sure thought that Shelley would would have been your favorite transfer.

Re: Justin Rice Coming to USU
I saw he only played one game for fresno in 2018. I assume he was able to get a injury redshirt. If I am looking at this right
he could have two years of eligibility if he decides to stay and not enter the draft.

Re: Justin Rice Coming to USU
Transfer. Another hybrid type dude. Right now we have 5 or 6 left depending on if Bo Maile is still coming. If we push forward Ike Larsen and Bo Maile we have 7 left.slcagg wrote: ↑January 9th, 2021, 2:17 pmTransfer or linebacker?

Re: Justin Rice Coming to USU
It is just so nice to see the program heading in a positive direction since the train wreck the last 6 months. Seems like the new coach is bringing in solid staff and is building some excitement in the program. If you are a player on the team you have to like the direction the team is going.

Re: Justin Rice Coming to USU
He will be a senior with 1 year to play 1. He played as a true freshman and sophomore, missed 2018 and redshirted. 2019 was his redshirt junior season with 2020 being his senior year.AGGIEFIGHT wrote: ↑January 9th, 2021, 2:42 pmI saw he only played one game for fresno in 2018.

I would be stunned if Maile is coming. The only way he ends up in Logan is if there is really no offers that are even equal in nature.aggies22 wrote: ↑January 9th, 2021, 3:00 pmTransfer.

Re: Justin Rice Coming to USU
This coaching staff and the excitement already growing around the program is impressive! Like someone said in a thread a while back, I’ve never been more impressed listening to a USU coach speak. I can see why these coaches and players seem excited to be in his program!

will he be granted a extra year of eligibility for 2020 because of covid or is that only for seniors?

Re: Justin Rice Coming to USU
He started in 2016 at Fresno. He was a running back so it doesn't look like he had any stats, but he does, just on offense.AGGIEFIGHT wrote: ↑January 10th, 2021, 3:33 pmYou are probably right but his profileaggies22 wrote: ↑January 9th, 2021, 4:12 pmHe will be a senior with 1 year to play 1.
