If the outer eyewall is contracting, then the cycle could be nearing completion. Timing will be critical here... the NHC discussion mentioned that Rita will be moving over another warm eddy in 12-24 hours. If the system is fully recovered from the ERC by then, it could see some reintensification.
They really nailed the eye with that last dropsonde... the mean boundary layer wind was 3 knots.
