"This is a great start to our class of 2004," Boyd said. "We have signed three quality student-athletes with a lot of potential. Most importantly, we have signed three kids that get along great with our team and are committed to being part of the excellent student-athlete tradition at Rice. These three will give us an attractive base for which to continue to recruit for next year's class."
