Imagine the quandary Boise State men’s basketball coach Leon Rice faced when his middle son, Max, verbally committed to the Broncos in August.
As a parent, it must have been a proud moment. But as a coach, Rice knew he had to keep quiet. NCAA rules forbid coaches from talking about recruits to the media until they have signed a national letter of intent.
On Wednesday, Rice was finally free to speak about his son and the four other players who will join the Broncos for the 2018-19 season.
“It’s a special day, not only for Max, but all five of the guys who we signed, Max being one of them,” Rice said.
