Scooter Harrington Decommits

According to Twitter, Scooter Harrington has committed to Stanford. Wow this one is bad, all but gift wrapped and Addazio couldn't keep him

I thought Addazio's redeeming quality was recruiting.

These last two classes suck and have 0 impact players especially on offense

Parents are big BC fans and supporters. They go to most to the games and park near Conte.

Are there any promising up and coming coaches in the MAC at the present time?

I'm pretty meh about decommits in general and particularly the ones who dropped from the 2016 Class (see Dalton, Daniel). However, this is the worst decommit we've had in a very long time. Kid is going to be excellent on the field, was a legacy from a supportive family and can handle the academics.

All that said, I don't begrudge any kid (BC legacy or not) who opts for Stanford, Harvard, Princeton or even Duke. I wouldn't tell my kids to pass on that opportunity in order to follow in their old man's footsteps. Nonetheless, this kid isn't looking around if Daz didn't suck at his job.

We went thru this decommit phase at the end of the Spazz era too, it's a lot easier to decommit from a sinking ship than transfer so there should be more. It's all part of the football coach life cycle at BC.

Can't blame Harrington, Stanford TE is involved in the offense, TE has been a dead zone at BC for a long time.Ditto Dalton at Ped State. It certainly hurts losing two top notch TEs from NE, esp one being legacy but they probably would have been underutilized anyway.

I thought Harrington was ultimately slated to be a LT. Not that our LTs have been very involved in the offense either.

Stanford was 1-11 in 2006. Hired a good coach, spent $30 million on a football only facility that opened in 2013 and now they are a force. There is really no reason BC couldn't do the same.

What if we suck because of where we practice ? Or have the coach we have because our pool is limited because of where we practice.

good coach could be step 2. I don't really care which step comes first, but both are needed.

I agree that both are needed, but making shiny new facilities the priority is just polishing a turd. Lipstick on a pig.

The facilities are a symptom not a cause. No one goes all in on fancy facilities and then goes cheap-o on coaches and everything else. When we do build new facilities at BC, they'll be closer to bare minimum acceptable than best in class. Schools build fancy facilities when spending money to compete is part of the athletic strategy - same with when they spend for a name coach.

It's this. BC wins 8 games last year this thread wouldn't exist.

Addazio could've won at least 6 last year, but he chose not to put the best players on the field, thus we won 3 games
