In response to Bison137
No idea. But that can't be good. The long delay in the press release suggests that there was some issue that was not immediately resolved. Had he told them he was not coming during the signing period, they could have gone ahead with the release you are seeing now.
What is confusing is that a picture of his signing ceremony at the Patrick School was posted on twitter on November 21st. Either he never sent in the signed LOI or there was some other issue, perhaps with his admission. Just speculating. I suppose there is a chance that he will still end up a Bison but I am not optimistic.
Perhaps I'm grasping at straws but the timing of the Monmouth game may have something to do with this. The Twitter post said that Rice had signed his letter of intent. Maybe Bucknell didn't want to include Rice in the press release a few days before playing King Rice's team. That could be a distraction to Monmouth. There could be a separate release that will issue after this game. Why Bucknell wouldn't wait to issue a release for all four I don't know but there may have been pressure for a release. We were discussing it on this thread. While I'm generally not an optimist, this is a plausible explanation for otherwise inconsistent facts.
