PrintJamil Pollard
Jamil Pollard, a 4-star (gee...haven't seen those in a while, a long while) recruit on rivals who committed from Penn State but in late July had his offer pulled for academic reasons, is likely to pick Boston College over Penn State tommorow at the Offense-Defense Bowl, according to sources.
@AdamCoelhoTR BC should be picking up a commitment from NJ DT/OG Jamil Pollard tommorow. Huge pickup if it happens.
@bperroni Jamil Pollard is planning to commit at game tmrw. Sounds likely to be #BostonCollege over #PennState
Pollard is also a 79 grade on ESPN and is rated as the #40 Defensive Tackle on Scout and #23 on rivals. He visited BC on December 9. is from New Jersey, which has produced such BC players as Steele Devitto and Colin Larmond Jr.
Scouting reports say he can also play guard, but will likely end up on defense.This would be a huge pickup for the Eagles, who don't have much depth in the future behind Dominic Appiah and Kaleb Ramsey. Pollard will likely play early if he can beat out underachievers such as Conor O'Neal and Dillon Quinn. He's basically the same thing as Faith Ekakitie, a 4-star recruit who couldn't crack the top 250. Overall, I would very suprised if Pollard didn't wind up at BC, even though he's taking a few visits after he's commiting.
David Smith
Smith, a 3-star running back from Illinois, said BC has a slight edge over the competition because his mom and his coach really want him to play at BC. If Smith commits and Akeel Lynch stays with BC, BC will have enormous running back depth next year.
Sam Grant
Grant got offers from Michigan, Arkansas and Oklahoma, and he's leaning towards decommiting from BC, according to sources. If that happens, Jameson McShea, who ironically plays at BC High and is only a 2-star who decommitted from Temple, will get an offer.

Recruits
It seems likely that BC gets Pollard and Smith, loses Lynch and Grant, and then offers McShea. If all that happens, look for BC to take one more DB. CB Nana Kyeremeh is the top choice but not sure if he’ll pick BC or WVU. I would like the staff to make another run at ATH Malik Golden from CT (PSU commit) but nothing has come out about him.
Pollard committed to PSU, not BC. Grant is gone. Lynch is looking like a decommit as well, and if Smith can get an offer from Oklahoma when he goes for an official visit, we’re looking at one of the shittiest recruiting classes ever this year.
Kinda ridiculous when Spaz and GDF were pumping up this class as being his “best ever” because they’ve had so much time to recruit these kids. Unfortunately, the more they see of Spaz, the less they want to be here.

We are Duke --- Sadly in Football
NYC is soooooo right.
All warning lights are flashing now at the Heights and parents of high school stars are keenly aware of the 4th Offensive Coordinator in 4 years and word gets around about the despicable treatment of Kevin Rogers.
Kevin Rogers was well respected and knew lots of people.
Recruits talk.
Parents of recruits talk.
Word is out. BC is not a destination ACC school in football until the two Goombas are put in a Commonwealth Avenue “dumpster”.
Look at the last 3 years, or even 2, if you want to give GDF and Spazoo a pass for year 1 --in our overall recruiting rankings and level needed to compete now.
PATHETIC!
BC is not recruiting any speedy skill players and the vast majority of 4 and 5 star kids do not even give the AXXCown Goomba Twins a peek?
BC is getting Colonial Conference leftovers.
BC does not even have a major recruiting presence or inroads into the hotbeds of where the talent lies all over America?
ND does.
BC has slipped so far that even Vanderbilt, TCU, Northewestern, Stanford, have blown by us like we are stuck to the pizza oven door.
Vanderbilt even cracked the Top 25 in a recent poll!
My alma mater, the greatest U in the galaxy, in BOSTON!!….. has now become Holy Cross.
The last 3 years, Clemson and FSU have stockpiled lost of skilled speed players in search of National Titles.
The Jesuits had a perfect window of opportunity to jettison the two Goombas this December, and that 4 year Spazoo payoff ….soon - (the disgustiad 2 year extension given to Spazoo) -- will look like the cheapest expenditure on earth!!
Tailgating, attendance, losing, invisible recruiting of top talent, facilities, coaching carousel of sad losers, locker room fiascos — have all resulted in the Flynn Fund donations falling off the cliff and the overall BC donations sliding fast.
How many of the posted letters that I have seen have told BC — no $$$$ until the two Goombas and the entire football staff has flown from the Towers on the Heights.
The blame is on Leahy and the BOT. Utter failure and utter stupidity.
College Football is a huge business.
BC gets a F as in Coach FLIP-PED us BC fans off with the “what we think doesn’t matter!”
