I'm a recent transplant to Boston, so I've taken an interest in the local team. I graduated a while back from Texas and still have a lot of friends down in the Austin area who work at the University. Rumor has it that Rick Barnes sees the writing on the wall at the UT and Myles Turner (stud C recruit from down there) is starting to look elsewhere. There is a lot of growing dissent among higher level boosters with Barnes not making a decent tournament run since 07-08 and Turner getting away could be the last straw with many of them in the support of Barnes. According to a friend who works in the AD, Barnes has been contacted by BC and minimally preliminary discussions have taken place that could lead him to BC. Not saying its a sure thing, but apparently Barnes is considering pulling a Buzz Williams and taking a paycut for more job security. He has ties to the East Coast and would be a slam dunk hire for BC. Will be interesting to see how this plays out, but I'll keep you guys informed.

I know.

Wright wants Jones. BU doesn't want to give up Jones. BC says to BU "let us have Jones back, and we'll use our consultant Folger to find you a replacement." When Folger remembers that his client Jim Christian is a BU grad, it works out perfectly.

Owens himself said Christian to Boston College isn't set. Said it "might" happen. "I love everything else about Ohio."

We appreciate and welcome your support. If/when you come to campus for a game, do not expect anything remotely close to what you experienced at UT.

At age 60 does he still have a burning desire to win or will he just be interested in collecting paychecks until he is 65? Will he relate well with 18 year olds?

I frequent Rivals and when EagleAction imploded someone mentioned this was the most happening BC spot. I didn't seek out this information, but when it was mentioned to me I figured I'd drop it here.
