Owls Announce 4 Signees

Earlier Tuesday, Rice Owls head coach Greg Williams announced the signing of Candace Ashford, Brianna Hypolite, Amenemope McKinney and D'Frantz Smart to National Letters of Intent to play for the Rice women's basketball program. All four players will enter as freshman for the 2008-09 season.

I've known about Hypolite and Smart's verbal commitments to the Owls for a while; and, I've had the chance to see each of them play ball. From what I saw, Hypolite (6'0) and Smart (5'0 -- yes, 5'0) are two good "gets" for Coach Williams and the Owls.

Assuming Ashford and McKinney are as talented as Coach Williams and the coaching staff say, perhaps the Owls program has brighter (and better) days ahead.

I sure hope the better days are ahead because I'd like to see the Owls (and the Houston Lady Cougars, too, of course) earn spots in the NCAA Tournament on a regular basis.
