The next time basketball news on TOS is accurate will be the first.

They called magarity. But the overall avg is terrible. On a global level I have serious doubts about any 2015 prospect who currently favors bc but has factories sniffing around will continue with bc as a favorite unless they actually commit shortly.

Um Jeremy Miller definitely favors BC and pretty much has forever.

It's not too hard to imagine.

Basketball produces more transfers each year than all other sports combined, because there are 300+ D-1 schools in the market for talent, twice as any competitive conferences to join, and players rarely redshirt as Freshman, so they can sit the transfer year without losing eligibility. These guys love to play year round, and invariably seek out minutes elsewhere once the coach says "you'll only get mop up minutes from here on out." It already happened with Moten & Daniels.

There's no need for it this year given Injury concerns with Hicks & Clifford. But when have you ever heard of a BC player staying (particularly if malcontent) after being given The Talk.

If I had to guess where we would creat space for 2014 season ... Of course It would depend on who we signed and how the underclassman look/develop this seaon ... but assuming the recruit is good enough to leap frog the vets into the core 7-8 man rotation (which is quality standard when this tight on spots), then you have simple options:

-- if Claudill is still a lazy waste of space, you either move him to medical scholarship (or set up grant in aide where he works in the AD office) due to 3 years of lingering injuries ... or you unapoligetically yank his scholarship if lack of commitment to get in shape and improve better explains his failures. I accept that a complete dud won't transfer as a senior.

--- Always possible Heckman or Hanlan could go pro (to Europe & NBA respectively) with a big year.

--- recruit another PG/SG to pair with a healthy Hicks/Hanlan/Rohan, then Jackson (as a steady, seasoned role player) would be the odd man out and probably a hot commodity for tourney bubble team with serious backcourt depth issues ... And Jackson would get a free masters by playing his 5th year, along with a chance to play out his career on the floor.

--- recruit a quality wing (to go with Anderson, Heckman & Drags), then Oddio & Owens are competing for the last wing spot available in the rotation for the next two years. This step becomes even more necessary if we Sign Jamal Ayetes to play the 4.

--- I assume neither Carney or Rubin are wasting scholies.

Vonleh, joseph, terrill, every murphy, etc spoke highly of bc when they were multiple classes away.

The unnamed guy TOS was talking about is not of the 2014 class.

This. I would also like to add Jacquil Taylor to the list. He and family had glowing things to say about BC a couple years ago and now it seems like he is hardly even considering us.

Not exactly a meaningful contribution. I don't mind criticism, but rather than shouting at the rain, why don't point out errors and advance the discussion. And please don't mention typos, that goes with territory when typing on tablet.

2015 G/F Ryan Fazekas will visit BC. He has an offer from Providence already, but not from BC or any other power conference school.

I find it peculiar that there is always more information flowing about Don's recruitment of players who are 2 or 3 years away.

Early signing day is 4 months away and there is very little news about 2014 kids who are high on BC (Dazoo essentially finished his class with 7-months to go). In comparison, of the 16 ACC-affliated programs (including recently arrived ND, Pitt, Cuse, soon to be departing MD and soon to be arriving Louisville), only 5 other programs (Clem, GT, ND, Pitt and VT) join BC in the "do not have a verbal" category. Even a program that has been a very recent national embarrassment (Rutgers) has two verbals from players who have a very decent offer sheet (Dwayne Foreman has more offers than any PF Don will likely land this year).

by **TobaccoRoadEagle** on Fri Jul 19, 2013 10:03 am

are you suggesting he may be DONSLEEP at the recruiting wheel.

i look forward to those not named "cadillac90" spin this is a different direction than it was spun 5 years ago

Only have 1 or 2 scholarships for '14 anyway. Casting a narrow net, that includes Cimino and Joseph. If Miller re-classified, need a spot for him also

Casting a narrow net and focusing on locals are both recruiting strategies that haven't been particularly successful in the past. Just saying...

20+ wins and the NCAAs would go a long ways towards fixing this issue

Both of which will have absolutely no impact on the early signing period for the recruiting class of 2014 (or, in other words, the success of this year's team will have no effect on any 2014 recruit mentioned in this thread).

Not a BC reference, but I found it interesting that Joseph, Okonoboh, Cimino, Jalen Adams and Josh Sharma (all of whom should be major targets for us) play on the same AAU team.

NErecruit ‏@NEsports_
Boston College has offered 2015 PG AJ Harris from Ohio. Other offer from Dayton but tons of high major interest. @FAMOUS_AMOS12

He is only 5'9 but is supposed to be a phenomenal ball handler and dribbler.

Yea clearly not what you want to see on his offer sheet but he is a local kid so BC is bound to "track" him. Don't freak out because I don't think they offer him any time soon or at all unless 2014 goes to shittsville and they don't get any of their targets.
