With the off-season upon us I thought we would look at each ACC team and throw out some random thoughts about each school. I thought we would start at the top of the ACC and go from there. Keep it flame free and maybe even get some of the fans from the other schools to weigh in. It doesn't have to be all Bball related but that should be focus.
MD (http://www.dukebasketballreport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1483), UVA (http://www.dukebasketballreport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1331), and UNC (http://www.dukebasketballreport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1252) were previously looked at.
Lets take a look at Boston College:
Jared Dudley and Sean Marshall both graduated and were the team's heart and soul.
Dudley was the ACC player of the year, leading the Eagles in scoring (19 PPG), rebounding (8.3 RPG), FG% (56%), and 3pt% (44%).
Outside of Tyrese Rice (17.6 PPG, 5.3 APG), All-ACC second-team, the Eagles only return what amounts to role players.
The Eagles don't return a player that shoots over 33% from 3 and are very thin in the frontcourt, not a good recipe for success.
Marquez Haynes (6-3, SG) has decided to transfer for increased playing time (averaged 18 MPG), though he started three games last year and would have been one of their better shooters, ouch.
Shamari Spears (6-6) is a promising player (7.1 PPG, 4.6 RPG) but with no support in the frontcourt (Oates doesn't count) will be limited with what he can realistically do.
Rakim Sanders (6-6, WG) is BC's only recruit listed in the RSCI (#97) top 100 and he fell 35 spots since their last rankings (was #65), so that's not a good thing.
This seems like an ideal time for Al Skinner to test the NBA waters (if he has the opportunity), i know he has mentioned an interest in the past.
BC football is in a weird place, as O'brien takes a job that seems somewhat lateral to N.C. State while their fanbase doesn't seem to care.
BC then hires Jagodzinsky, who then hires Steve Logan as OC, which seemingly is taking a decent and mature BC team in an entirely new direction, again to the apparent apathy of their fanbase.
