In either case I think Brian Joyce is probably the top assistant now, and the only person who needs to be comfortable with that is Dale Layer.

Cider Jim wrote:A coach who was the "Owls' recruiting coordinator" with connections in Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, and Kenya, as well as someone who worked with Athletes in Action, sounds impressive to me, not mention his academic responsibilities: he "oversaw the Owls' academic progress. Under his watch, Rice posted a 98 percent graduation rate, the best mark in the country."Maybe even a 2-'Sport' athlete ! Hoops and Quiz Bowl!

Mance served as the Owls' recruiting coordinator and helped land the first Houston public school recruit to attend Rice in 40 years.Since Rice is in the the Houston area, maybe he will take that recruiting philosophy to sign some local talent. Have we EVER had a Lynchburg public school player sign with our MEN's team??? (Purple's wife and LCA kids don't count!).
