BC is still forming its board for the Class of 2017, determining which players they like most, who they have the best shot with, and who they're going to push for or wait on.
There's an inherent tension and balancing act at every program in the country: The players you think are the absolute best recruits in the class, and the players you think you've got a real shot at.
Here's what we know: BC's staff as it currently exists has proven they like to have most of their class by the summer before Signing Day. They also have not established a precedent for taking many very, very early commitments. While we probably shouldn't expect much in the way of 2017 commitments before next year, late winter or early spring, we do know that the numbers should be roughly similar next year and it makes sense to assume the same as far as the class timeline.
Here are some players that I believe Boston College is going to make a serious run at from the Class of 2017, based on what we know of that players interest in BC, or BC's interest in him.
QB Kyle McCloskey
QB Jordan McAfee
QB/ATH Johnathan Lewis
WR Tarik Black
OL Ben Petrula
OL Matt Bockhorst
DE Cortez Alston
LB Blake Gallagher
LB Ben Mason
LB Louis Acceus
ATH Brendan White
ATH Darrian McNeal
ATH C.J. Holmes
