Even 90+ degree temps couldn’t stop 23 teams from competing inside and outside of Fish Field House at Boston College on Thursday. Starting at about 10:15 in the morning until the final whistle blew on the championship game between Bergen Catholic (NJ) and Springfield Central, there was tons of talent on display from MA, RI, CT, NJ and even a team from Columbus Florida made the trip. The full list…
Image courtesy of Boston College the BC coaching staff was in Vegas right now, everyone would be crowding around the roulette table trying to piggy back off their heater. It’s not often that so many national recruits flock to Chestnut Hill, but the commitments have been coming in fast and furious these last few weeks following successful OV weekends. There are two official visit weekends left before June wraps up…
Boston College’s staff got even more good news this week when teammates from Union High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma committed to the Bill O’Brien era. The biggest name was Shaker Reisig, a 6’1″ QB who was originally committed to Utah back in March. Reisig is yet another highly-coveted national recruit that has chosen to be part of what Bill O’Brien is building. The big gunslinger has offers from BC,…
The recruiting train keeps on rolling. For the third straight weekend, the BC staff hosted OV’s – which last through the end of June – and got multiple commitments from out-of-state guys that usually don’t end up picking Chestnut Hill over some of the other schools they had been considering. It’s clear that while the BC staff will prioritize local recruits (as they should), their pitch to national guys is…
It’s been an impressive past few weekends for the BC staff. After a successful OV weekend that resulted in two commitments last Monday, history repeated itself this Monday. BC got a major commitment from Semaj Fleming, a wide receiver from Florida who is unquestionably the most sought-after receiver BC has gotten in a long time. BC also got an impressive safety out of Georgia, Rae Sykes. Sykes had offers from…
The new BC coaching staff seemed to have themselves a very good weekend. 13 players took an official visit with the Eagles and seemed to really enjoy their time and experience in Chestnut Hill. I reached out to almost all of the recruits that were scheduled to be here (at least the ones that had open DM’s, way easier that way) and two guys got back to me right away….
Thursday turned into a surprisingly active day when it comes to the local college football scene. A few of the 16 D1 teams in New England announced official start times for select games this upcoming season. BC, UMass, UConn – the ‘Big Three’ around here – all released a few games while Harvard announced it would have two ESPN/ESPNU games under first year head coach Andrew Aurich. Here’s what we…
The only way to describe Emmett Morehead to those that never interacted with him is telling them he’s ‘Sunshine’ from Remember the Titans, just with red hair. During his time at BC, Morehead was the ultimate teammate and a pleasure to deal with from the media’s perspective. Always smiling and extremely mild-mannered, while some guys may go out and get wild with a weekend off, he’d rather go fishing. Even…
If you attended any Boston College games at Alumni Stadium last year, you probably heard the name John Pupel quite often over the PA system. A transfer from Dartmouth, Pupel became a guy Eagles fans knew quickly. He was everywhere. Pupel was a tackling machine, leading the way with 82 of them (56 solo). He also forced and recovered a fumble and had a pass defended. Now, the 6’1,” 200lbs….
Image courtesy of PrepRedzone The local commits continue to roll in for BC. The latest came when Mekhi Dodd – an explosive running back from Catholic Memorial – announced his commitment to the Eagles. Dodd is the next in a suddenly growing list of CM guys to call Chestnut Hill home. The DiBiaso connection has also clearly been extremely beneficial to the program over the past few years and Dodd…
