This isn’t really based on anything specifically. It is just, watching the Tournament, I realize how far we have to go to get back to what we were under Skinner with Coen and Cooley.

Fixed. The next coach will need to bring in an excellent staff.

You're right - and I think it is has happened. Anecdotally, I know of two kids who got into BC this year. One was waitlisted at Villanova, and to my shock, the other was rejected.
Granted, BC is still incredibly competitive, and I know of others who were rejected by BC despite having fantastic SATs and academic records at very strong college prep schools. But winning two national championships in three years, coupled with the transformative building they are doing on campus, has led Villanova's applications and yield percentage to shoot up this year. As far as the admissions game is concerned, I think they are pulling alongside or ahead of us.

The lack of decent assistants in the past has directly resulted in some of the awful talent on the bench.

No.
How else did they get there? BC lost a ton of games this year because when we have to play the bench, they aren’t functional basketball players

Buzz Williams will be the next head coach at Texas A&M after his Virginia Tech team lost here in the Sweet 16 to Duke on Friday night, multiple sources said.
“That’s done,” one source said before Duke edged out Virginia Tech, 75-73, to advance to the Elite Eight.
Williams, 46, is a Greenville, Texas native and former A&M assistant under Billy Gillispie from 2004-06.

This is extremely depressing. Villanova was always a safety type school when compared to BC. Way to go Bill Leahy!

We're not doing so bad academically:
Boston College received 35,500 applications for the Class of 2023, the most in University history and a 14 percent increase over last year, according to the Office of Undergraduate Admission. The previous high-water mark for undergraduate applications was 34,061 for the Class of 2016.
BC has extended approximately 9,500 offers of admission, representing an admit rate of 27 percent, compared to 32 percent two years ago and 28 percent a year ago.
The average ACT score for admitted students is 33, while the average SAT score is 1465, up 17 points from last year.
Students admitted to the Class of 2023 represent all 50 states and Washington, D.C., as well as two U.S. territories and more than 70 countries around the world. More than a third are AHANA students.

This means absolutely nothing. Its is a cut and paste of worthless stats.
Does it really matter that we admit kids from all 50 states? More than a third are AHANA? They could be all Asians. What good is admitted? We might be there safety school.
We are regressing. Fuck Leahy.

Anecdotally, Chris "Mad Dog" Russo was on the radio recently BLASTING BC and Holy Cross for waitlisting his daughter (and rejected from USC). She got into Wake and had money from her safety school... (wait for it) Villanova. His daughter wanted to reapply to BC with a new essay and her most recent grades and he said, "Over my dead body!" So, she is going to Wake.
