Brady Heslip Also Leaving Program

PrintOn the heels of the departure of Rakim Sanders, The Boston Globe's Mark Blaudschun is now reporting that freshman guard Brady Heslip is also leaving the BC men's basketball program. Coach Steve Donahue granted Heslip's request to transfer earlier today.
Heslip is scheduled to visit Boise State this weekend.
A 6'2" point guard from Burlington, Ontario, Heslip joined the team after Christmas to begin practicing with the Eagles, but ultimately didn't see the floor this year. While Heslip didn't play this season, many thought the guard would challenge Biko Paris for the starting point guard position next year.
Donahue has to shift focus towards stopping the bleeding, with the futures of BC's other two recruits - forward Kevin Noreen and forward Papa Samba Ndao - up in the air.
With the departures of Rakim Sanders and Brady Heslip, and the loss of Tyler Roche to graduation, the Eagles are down to just 10 scholarship players, a figure that includes Noreen and Ndao.

Not good
As I suspected, the snowball started rolling downhill with Rakim and it’s picked up steam. I’m disappointed in Heslip, but if he doesn’t want to play here, nothing we can do about that. I had high hopes for him. I had thought Heslip was the least likely of the 3 to leave. Now I’d be shocked if Noreen and Ndao ever put on the BC uniform but they’ll have to do what they can to convince them to stay.
The question now is, how do we fill up these roster spots? We’ll have more than a few openings.

You mean you aren’t looking forward to a 10 man rotation of Jackson, Paris, Raji, Trapani, Mosakowski, Ravenel, Rehnquist, Elmore, Southern and Dunn?

You are correct
Heslip was pushed out from what I hear (from his dad, who is definitely not a fan of my blog).

BUT
I would like to hear Donahue’s side of the story as well, if there is one.

Since I can't sleep, I will add this
Obviously there is a hint of controversy here…or he’s just trying to stir shit, IDK. We may never hear from BC the official reason why he left the program, and at the end of the day, I don’t know if it matters. All I know is that Donahue better plan on looking for solid replacements. This isn’t the end of the world for BC or him or his son. The world keeps on spinning. It’s all giving me a headache and there’s no reason to dwell on it anymore…unless other guys bail out and their dads yell at me the same story.
