Yeah.

My guess is he'll end up redshirting since he has to sit out because the portal window isn't open. Redshirt this season, enroll at new school in January (or over the summer), play next year, wherever that may be. He's not allowed to play this season.

Rice gone
MFWHokie0607 • 10/24/23 02:32 PM ET
I suppose timing could be worse, but not sure how much...**
VT757to276 • 10/24/23 05:02 PM ET
Could be as simple an explanation as bagmen and handlers.**
Maroon Effect • 10/24/23 04:05 PM ET
No**
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 04:36 PM ET
Doubt he gets paid to sit out another year**
hokietom87 • 10/24/23 04:28 PM ET
Man, that mike jones hire paid zero dividends.**
Smackdown_VT • 10/24/23 03:37 PM ET
like an (OL) coach drive-by:-)**
VT757to276 • 10/24/23 04:00 PM ET
Zero is right...we lost the Swinton kid too, I believe Jones recruited too**
HokieSA • 10/24/23 03:43 PM ET
Next man up.**
HokiePail • 10/24/23 03:31 PM ET
Men.
NC Hoke • 10/24/23 07:10 PM ET
Well, that. just bites!**
8hokie5 • 10/24/23 03:28 PM ET
So who's going to get his minutes? Rechsteiner? J. Young? **
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/24/23 03:21 PM ET
Collins
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:28 PM ET
Seems Rechsteiner would also have to play more, unless.....
vtbball80 • 10/24/23 05:00 PM ET
Yeah, slightly...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 05:04 PM ET
FWIW - Pedulla/Rice should be as good or better than Murphy/Pedulla....
vtbball80 • 10/24/23 05:18 PM ET
Was the departure mutual?
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/24/23 03:33 PM ET
That's the only thing that would make sense
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:37 PM ET
Someone on another board saying he may have been suspended 1 game for
HokiePail • 10/24/23 04:00 PM ET
50 in 25 but just charged with speeding instead of reckless. **
RhinoVT • 10/24/23 04:07 PM ET
Yes, that’s correct, per the VA court database.
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/24/23 04:30 PM ET
I heard Rice was “in the dog house.”
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/24/23 04:33 PM ET
maybe an "unexpected" gift from his hometown gf?**
Windows NT • 10/24/23 07:42 PM ET
Fried Rice**
BackInTheBurg • 10/24/23 04:35 PM ET
That doesn’t seem like a suspendible offense, but I ain’t the coach**
BackInTheBurg • 10/24/23 04:11 PM ET
Suspended for speeding? Must’ve been a pretty egregious speeding offense**
BackInTheBurg • 10/24/23 04:06 PM ET
Doesn't seem like something that RR would be that
HokiePail • 10/24/23 04:21 PM ET
Or in Dr Sands’ neighborhood when his wife was walking the dog? 🫣**
Femoyer Hokie • 10/24/23 04:11 PM ET
I laughed **
BackInTheBurg • 10/24/23 04:15 PM ET
Yeah I can't confirm that by any means...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 04:05 PM ET
Have heard the same.**
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/24/23 03:12 PM ET
okay tells us what ese you are hearing please- this seems to make no sense **
Vippie1 • 10/24/23 03:14 PM ET
I've heard that Rice is transferring.**
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/24/23 03:15 PM ET
does he have to sit a year given the date?**
Vippie1 • 10/24/23 03:18 PM ET
Yeah. ◄
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/24/23 03:28 PM ET
Let him sit. Serves him right.
BigDaddyHokie • 10/24/23 05:24 PM ET
I could be wrong but I doubt he's in college for 5 years
VermontDDS • 10/24/23 03:33 PM ET
His window for making the NBA is shrinking...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 04:32 PM ET
Maybe, If he was only getting 8-10 minutes a game a pt G this year at VT
vtox1 • 10/24/23 08:04 PM ET
I think that's pretty far-fetched
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 08:20 PM ET
Was his NBA window ever really that big?
marcbvtgm • 10/24/23 07:00 PM ET
Agreed. He could create shots, athletic.
st_andrew • 10/24/23 08:24 PM ET
Yep. Not just his odd shot - but I wasn’t crazy about his footwork either.
marcbvtgm • 10/25/23 11:10 AM ET
Not many jump out...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 07:09 PM ET
Not talking lottery freaks only. Even 2nd rd NBA talent really stands out.
marcbvtgm • 10/25/23 10:49 AM ET
Rodney Rice absolutely jumped out at NBA potential level...
GCHokie34 • 10/25/23 11:00 AM ET
Sorry, I just disagree with you on this one.
marcbvtgm • 10/25/23 11:08 AM ET
Well, he doesn't have to redshirt. He could just transfer. Redshirting
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/24/23 03:39 PM ET
yeah i'm pretty sure you can't transfer right now and then go play**
VT Pez4Life • 10/24/23 03:26 PM ET
He cannot play for another team this season, no**
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:24 PM ET
well i'm sure the reason will come out soon enough
Vippie1 • 10/24/23 03:29 PM ET
Highly likely that...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:35 PM ET
that makes sense
Vippie1 • 10/24/23 03:40 PM ET
Yep, had to be something major for him to do this knowing he will
VTMONEY94 • 10/24/23 03:38 PM ET
jumping ahead here but
Vippie1 • 10/24/23 03:50 PM ET
Wasn’t Radford like 4 years ago? Is this really an epidemic?**
st_andrew • 10/24/23 04:06 PM ET
That was two years ago. He's coming back another year with A&M.**
vatechcowpatty • 10/24/23 06:33 PM ET
Yep, you don't give up 25+ min per game...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:40 PM ET
crap ! wth ??**
astrohokie • 10/24/23 03:05 PM ET
How is something like this possible?
VT ChemE 1986 • 10/24/23 03:00 PM ET
dunno dude... he could've visited a character he met on the chat line
Windows NT • 10/24/23 07:49 PM ET
@GCHokie34, can you fill us in on the details? if you know of course...**
AZHokie82 • 10/24/23 02:47 PM ET
I can fill you in on what I know...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:11 PM ET
GC is it fair to say Jones just kept in touch, kept recruiting him etc..
HokieSA • 10/24/23 03:33 PM ET
No, I wouldn't say that's fair at all...
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:37 PM ET
Ok thank you...just SMH like we all are, so disappointing**
HokieSA • 10/24/23 03:41 PM ET
And @GCHokie34 how does this affect our recruiting strategy?**
Femoyer Hokie • 10/24/23 03:01 PM ET
Gicarri Harris or portal**
GCHokie34 • 10/24/23 03:12 PM ET
I know nothing but am disappointed. Was looking forward to watching him**
