recruiting 2014 and beyond (h00ps weird0s beat off list)

[Corporal Funishment]

Terance Mann didn't even show up yet and he's been completely recruited over. Look at their 2015 and 2016 classes. The shame is, if it happened at a non ACC school we could still hope for a transfer to BC.

[BCEagles25]

Less strange is that he has grossly underachieved with all of that talent. Really, two very good seasons in a sea of mediocrity.

There's no diversification of talent. It's just a bunch of 6'10 athletes who can't play basketball. He also stinks at coaching.

you're right that there's no diversification, but they're all guards/wings. they could actually use a 6'10 athlete. it's almost as if Onahue is their recruiting coordinator, but there's too many stars involved.

[BCHerbert]

5* Jonathan Issac signed with FSU.

It's only a matter of time until Leonard Hamilton gets rung up for NCAA violations. Their recent string of getting 4/5* kids is very strange

Hamilton has been landing four and five star kids since 2003.

Forward Shandon Goodman, 6-9, 190 of Lincoln received offers from Boston College and Sam Houston State today.

Light on offers, he's tall and he has a lot of arc on his shot.

Boston College has to be feeling good about future point guard Ty Graves today. He's super quick with a good handle. Getting into the lane

[BCSUPERFAN22]

In non-made-up recruiting news, We offered Cameron "I take a bark out of crime" McGriff yesterday - 6'6 wing from Texas. Also, today is the start of the July live periods. We're officially in Coaches Watching AAU Teams Play Season. Soon to be followed by perennial favorites List Season, Official Visit Season, Third Place/"Moral Victory"/Board Meltdown Season, If Everything Goes Right Maybe We Can Make the NIT Season, and Epstein Calls Us the America East All-Stars Season (aka, basketball season). Whoo!

I think we've graduated from the America East All-stars. But the rest of it pretty much.

No insider info but the Gabriel recruitment is getting really crowded which is never good for BC

Gabriel picked up ND, Texas and I believe Vanderbilt offers in past few days (think he's with AAU teams at Peach Jam in ATL)

AdamFinkelstein: Wenyen Gabriel one of hardest playing guys here. Heard from Duke & Coach K last night. Bill Self coming tomorrow. #adidasUprising

[StratEagle]

I'll take basketball recruits that weirdos will obsess over that we obviously have no chance with for 500, Alex

[BCSUPERFAN22]

Couple of new names

Boston College offers 2016 6'4 PG DeJon Jarreau (@LaDeeky) and 6'8 PF Brison Gresham (@bri_son32) @VerbalCommits

Then there's this, which may be related and which made me laugh

Boston College recruit hard in the BOOT

Louisiana is an odd place for this staff to be recruiting.

Jarreau released list of finalists. BC not on it despite being early offer and some apparent mutual interest, but guess who is, Creighton.

@GiveNGobball: DeJon Jarraeu is down to Wichita State, Oklahoma, Ok St, UMass, LSU, Florida, Tulane, Miami, USC, Texas & Creighton. http://t.co/FUFxfDVnSX

Christian Vital kicks off list season with a top 16(!). Not the most inspiring top 16 of all time but when you go to 16, there's gonna be some filler, right?

A Top 16 hat game would be awesome.

That is a really weird list of schools.

[BCEagles25]

That recruiting battle should really add some fire to the UNLV - Hofstra rivalry.

[GlorytoBC]

Leonard is a great recruiter, but the player development at FSU is severely lacking

Seems like everywhere Lindell Wigginton is so is Boston College brass. See tons of Olivier Hanlan in Wigginton's game

Shawntrez Davis was a false dream

--------------------
Edit:

Brown, 6-4, 200-pounds from Saxtons River (Vt.) Vermont Academy, listed Indiana, Michigan, Massachusetts and Boston College were recruiting the hardest. Out of these four, UMass is pursuing him with the most vigor.

Staff still going hard for Gabriel and Brown... maybe they'll prove us wrong

[eaglesfan06]

No need to keep going hard at Gabriel. Kentucky offered last night, Duke likely to offer today.

[MattTheEagle]

Screw that. This is Steve Donahue approach to recruiting 101.

This. Attending Boston College is a privilege. Anyone would be lucky to spend their college careers there.

You guys are both nuts. if we get back to the Top 25 every year then maybe.

[NJM89]

Gabriel is on ESPNU and already had a double double in the first half. Also offer out to Devin Newton (2017).

At one point we were at the top of Gabriel's list. You don't stop recruiting because the big boys start offering. BC won't get in the top 25 with that philosophy.

[twballgame9]

BC is not going to return to the top 25 with players that get offers from Kentucky and Duke. Keep recruiting them, fine, but it's a completely lost cause.

[NJM89]

Kansas offered him too time to move on.

Agreed

Is that Turner on the left? He's a little taller than advertised, which is nice.

[eaglesfan06]

Yeah, looks almost as tall as Reyes. Nice.

EDIT: For those who don't know who's who: Top Pic - Turner, Milon, Robinson, Reyes, Barnes-Thompkins

[BCSUPERFAN22]

Not sure if this was posted here, but Shawntrez Davis from Ga, who signed with Texas Tech and was a BC target, is playing at JUCO Palm Beach State.

Apparently he didnt qualify academically to play at Texas Tech, which explains why BC couldn't seriously pursue him. John Carlos Reyes tweeted something about it, and I wonder if BC could be a player for him next year if his academics are in order (I believe Reyes and Davis played at same HS)

Yes and yes, that is the idea.

He's going JUCO. I could be wrong but I was under the impression that BC doesn't take those kids as a rule?

[NJM89]

Offers out to 2016 Grant Williams and Willie Jackson.
