That would be pretty frigging huge, which is why I am not holding out hope.

any news on possible 5th years

so far I've heard bc mentioned with

shonn miller
rafael maia
tyler harris
derrick gordon (on this site)
jaren sina (soph transfer)

anyone else

also any new news on hanlan?

[commavegarage]

hey bc8, you have any news on hanlan?

[eepstein0]

I tried to help BC8 but I quit.

[Corporal Funishment]

Try to imagine Boston College 8's worldview. He is imagining that someone on this board not only has information about Hanlan that they might be willing to share, but also that they have not voluntarily chosen to share it with the board, and that in the event such a person happens to log on without the express intent of sharing and sees his question that this will be enough of an impetus for them to share the information which they have heretofore not divulged. Boston College 8 is doing us a great service. Every day, that unnamed poster with inside information on Hanlan's draft status logs on, wondering whether anyone on the board might be interested in his information. Without Boston College 8's dogged determination to uncover answers, this person might erroneously be led to believe that no one on the board cares - thus depriving the rest of us lazy scoundrels of the insider's knowledge. I commend Boston College 8 for this tremendous contribution to the board, and I know I speak for all of us when I say we eagerly await his next vertically aligned, capitally typed prediction of next year's starting lineup.

didn't even read all that

do you think he stays or goes? odds?

i say right now its about 60/40 NBA but it could def change

based on the wager that al avatar and i have, al avatar clearly believes oikos greek yolivier will go to the nba if he gets a super-secret high sign from one/some of the teams on the illegal down low. i guess his odds would be based on the probability of that super secret illegal down low.

i, on the other hand, do not believe ogy will be on enough pre-draft fanboy lists (both the shirtless and the shirtfull) to warrant his consideration of an early jump. i am placing the probability at somewhere close to 90/10 that he will stay/go. i am not the unknown poster that al avatar referred to. i have no inside knowledge, only eyes and common sense

[StratEagle]

Isn't hanlan staying for his senior year essentially the same thing as going undrafted? It's not because he's dying to win 3 conference games next year

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

i think he gets more notice honing his skills and learning to be a point guard in the ncaa in comparison to getting lost somewhere in europe irregardless of whether the team wins 20 games or 10 games.

i also think that the health of clifford is still pending so it is too early to tell how we're going to do in 2015/2016

Fingers crossed that the sun shines and that BC girls have been working out.

[NJM89]

I think we have a good shot since i feel like most of the schools that offered him in the past has stopped after filling their classes already.

Atlanta, Georgia native Shawntrez Davis will be on an official visit to Boston College on April 21st and 22nd. The 6-8, 200-pound Power Forward prospect is currently attending Lagrange (Ga.) Sound Doctrine Academy. He is ranked No. 123 in the 247Sports Composite.

If the Eagles are able to land Davis they could potentially find a big piece to the puzzle for the 2015-2016 season. The Eagles lacked a real scoring presence from their two frontcourt positions this past season. Davis is an athletic and skilled big that would come in and play right away for Head Coach Jim Christian. “It’s the ACC, one of the toughest conference’s in college basketball,” Davis said. “I will have the opportunity to make a name for myself playing in that league.”

The 4-star prospect was offered by Boston College back in early February. Eagles’ Assistant Coach Preston Murphy has been Davis’ primary recruiter. “Preston is a really cool guy,” he said on his recruiting coach. He also mentioned that he has spoken with Coach Christian and Davis is excited about getting to Boston to meet all of the coaches and see the campus. Nationally televised games are another big draw for Davis. The fact that “most ACC games are on TV is a big deal,” and Boston College will also play several games close to his hometown of Atlanta. “My mom can watch me play in person, and that’s huge for me,” Davis said.

A host of regional schools are recruiting Davis, with offers from Auburn, Tennessee, Florida, Maryland, Florida State, West Virginia and Georgia Tech among others. Davis is a 2015 prospect and would slide into the Eagles lineup and add instant depth to the Eagles frontcourt. He would be playing next to 7-footers Dennis Clifford and very athletic Idrissa Diallo. Boston College already has the state of Florida’s 7A Player of the Year in Matt Milon arriving next year to go along with top 150 recruit A.J. Turner and a big athletic guard prospect in Jerome Robinson. The addition of Davis in this 2015 class that Coach Christian has already put together would significantly upgrade their roster and compete in the ACC.

[eepstein0]

Very optimistic on Davis. I'd be really impressed with this 2015 class if it's Turner, Davis, Milon and Robinson

[BCEagles25]

after missing out on players like Sharma, Mann, Mitchell, Terrell, and Falzon, I wasn't optimistic about the class. but I will be very happy if it's rounded out with Shawntrez Davis, as we haven't seen an athletic 4 in quite a while (Odio counts to me as more of a wing trying to be a 4.)

[StratEagle]

As expected, Tariq Owens will be going elsewhere

I'm going to continue my assumption that academics were/are an issue. tennessee then st. johns.

Your first mistake was counting Odio as a basketball player

odio looked athletic on a team of lojack, rahon, ewing clifford, etc

[twballgame9]

Odio never looked athletic because he couldn't hang on to the ball and when he had it he looked like he was afraid. Beerbohm was similar size and leaping ability, but he actually lifted a weight or two and played aggressive, so he used to hammer dunks on people and it was awesome.

I actually forgot how good he actually was.

[Boston College 8]

If Hanlan stays it will be Davis/Clifford

[eepstein0]

All of the big men will play significant minutes. If Davis were to commit he's stealing minutes from Magerity and to a lesser extent Clifford.

I'm sure Clifford and Magerity would love someone like Davis on board

[StratEagle]

The clouds could be finally starting to clear from this 7 year shitstorm. With Davis and possibly Shonn Miller in the fold, plus Hanlan staying for his senior year, this team might actually not suck for the first time in what feels like forever.

Knowing the constant punch in the balls that is BC fanhood, none of these things will happen, however, but the circlejerk is fun in the meantime.

Miller is a long shot at best. Visiting UConn April 17-18

Well Miller is probably the best of the current targets, but insert any decent 5th year and they could still be pretty good

Again... I loved those Skinner teams. One of the reasons I really wanted Howland last year was because I thought he would bring back the tough, ugly basketball that has served BC well in the past.

[MattTheEagle]

Shawntrez Davis would be huge. He'd make an immediate impact at BC.
