• Rodney Rice Jr. – Now at USC with 2 years of eligibility left. Transferred from Maryland, where he started every game and averaged 15 PPG.

Who am I missing?

And congratulations to Kenny and Paula on 29 years of marriage.

Strong debut of Rice Jr for the Trojans and good to see Jarin in the starting lineup for UNC although fairly limited production as also was the case quite a bit last year for Bama.

• Jarin Stevenson (UNC) – Started. 19 minutes, 5 points, 1 rebound as the Heels cruised vs Central Arkansas.
• Rodney Rice (USC) – Started. 34 minutes, 21 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists as USC cruised vs Cal Poly.

Rodney Rice is a player but clearly James Wood is the cream of the crop from that list, albeit in a different sport. He has the potential to be a perennial all star in MLB.

Fri night, Jarin started again for UNC playing 23 minutes as they beat Kansas... only 3 points but 6 rebounds

Recommend adding Jay Woolfolk to the list -- drafted by the Braves out of UVA.

Updates from Feast week games

Jarin Stevenson (UNC) – Continues to start for a 6–1 UNC team that took its first loss earlier this week to Michigan State. He’s averaging 26 minutes, 8 points, and 4.4 rebounds.

Rodney Rice (USC) – Averaging 20.3 points in 34 minutes, shooting nearly 39% from three, with 67 assists and 3 rebounds. Did not play in the last game due to what appears to be a shoulder issue as USC beat Arizona State to remain undefeated at 7-0.
