Not surprised with Pitino at Saint Johns. Cooley at Georgetown should be a good hire. Georgetown hasn't been good for awhile.

Denver 8-0. Beat Maryland on March 5. Game will not be aborted this year because of snow.

From Avon Old Farms just committed to ND. Is he related to our Lidstroms?

Cant find it anywhere!

Models game after Tyrann Mathieu...

Who’s Back: Graduate linebacker Vinny DePalma is back for his sixth season and sixth spring ball as an Eagle… BC also retained fifth-years Elijah Jones and Shitta Sillah plus former transfers George Takacs and Khris Banks.

New Guys In the Mix: Boston College added 14 newcomers for the spring, including eight transfers and six early enrollees… offensively, linemen Kyle Hergel and Logan Taylor got regular reps with the ones along with wide receiver Ryan O’Keefe… on defense, Alex Washington, Khari Johnson and Victor Nelson all saw action in the first-team secondary.

O-Line Depth: A year older and stronger, BC’s offensive line depth was on full display with the addition of Hergel and Taylor… in the first offensive series, the Eagles lined up from left-to-right with Ozzy Trapilo, Jack Conley, Drew Kendall, Hergel and Jude Bowry… Trapilo also played at right tackle, while Taylor and Nick Thomas filtered in with the ones.

Surprised that Bowry is getting reps with the ones over Taylor. Hope that means he has really developed.

ACCNX is streaming the game on ESPN app. Clemson is playing well in its first season in the ACC. It defeated Duke over the weekend. Clemson's head coach was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She was previously head coach at Richmond. Haven't heard whether BC star defenseman Hollie Schleicher has recovered from injury.

Giants sign WR Jeff Smith​

The Giants have been searching the market for wide receivers since the start of free agency. Despite pulling off a blockbuster trade for star tight end Darren Waller, New York still needs to get QB Daniel Jones a true receiving threat on the perimeter. However, Jeff Smith is not that guy for the Giants. Instead, Smith will add to New York’s depth in the receiver room, an overlooked need for Big Blue entering this offseason.

Smith will be 26 at the start of the 2023 season. The former Jets player and Boston College product has been in the NFL since 2019, playing in 36 games and making seven starts at wide receiver in his career.

In 2022, Smith was targeted 11 times, hauling in eight receptions for 134 yards. He has yet to score a touchdown in his career. Smith stands in at 6-foot-1, 195-pounds, and ran a blazing fast 4.34s 40-yard dash at the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine.

Will add to this as I hear/see/get more but this is what it looks like for right now.

Congrats!

Over at Fish this morning. The whole 1st 20 minutes only thing really hinders any actual reporting, but pads are on today. Also, the New England Football Journal Youtube page has interviews up with Tudryn & Duggan from the Coaches Clinic last week

Dear Friends of BC Athletics:

As many of you are aware, the world of intercollegiate athletics is undergoing substantial change, with student-athletes now having the opportunity to monetize their name, image and likeness (NIL).

BC Athletics seeks to graduate our 700 varsity student-athletes, compete for championships in our 31 Division I sports, and develop our players to become men and women for others. For Boston College teams to continue to compete in NCAA sports, we need to attract and retain elite student-athletes, which in today’s world includes supporting their efforts to benefit from their NIL.

During the last year-and-a-half, many of our BC Eagles have taken advantage of NIL opportunities. If you or your business are interested in working with one of our student-athletes, please contact Craig Anderson in our Compliance Office (617-552-6130) to ensure that your potential opportunity is within the parameters established by the NCAA.

An additional way you can support Boston College student-athletes is through contributions to Friends of the Heights (FOH), a collective led by BC alumni and supporters, which helps facilitate NIL opportunities for Boston College student-athletes. If you are interested in learning more about FOH, please visit https://friendsoftheheights.com or contact Tim McLaughlin at 631-276-6010 or at tim@blueprintsports.com. (Please note that FOH is a separate organization, and a contribution to FOH does not affect Boston College Lifetime Giving or allow you to receive institutional credit for your gift.)

Your continued support of Boston College is very much needed and appreciated. Thank you for all you do to help our student-athletes.

For Boston!

Blake James
William V. Campbell Director of Athletics
