As one of the top high school basketball players in the country, MJ Rice fully embraces the Bible verse in Luke that reads “to whom much is given, much is required,” so when it came time to make his college decision on Tuesday, Rice knew it would be difficult.
“I’m a relationship guy,” Rice said. “And I’ve made some great relationships with the different coaching staffs over the years. That’s the toughest part, having to pick one.”
In the end, Rice went with the staff he said he felt “would give me the best opportunity to take my game to the next level,” picking Kansas over Pittsburgh, Oklahoma State and N.C. State.
