Boston College Hoops Adds 6'6" Wing Patrick Heckmann To Complete 2011 Class

[Ed. note -- Edited, Front Page'd]

According to EA's Eric Hoffses, Boston College has signed 2011 recruit Patrick Heckmann. He's a German who is 6-6, lanky, and can shoot. If I'm correct, BC used the scholarship that Reggie Jackson had and gave up because of his recent decision of staying in the NBA Draft. Hoffses says: "Boston College hoops has picked up a commitment from 2011 recruit Patrick Heckmann. More to come on EagleAction."

The Heights described Heckmann: "Donahue lands Patrick Heckmann, a lanky 6-6 German recruit who can shoot, has a good handle, and can play the 1, 2, and 3. H/T."

According to EagleOutsider.com forums, BC is rumored to be going after Corey Hawkins, who recently transferred from Arizona State. He is Arizona's all-time leading scorer in high school, but an ankle injury slowed his progress and he only averaged 2.0 points, 0.9 assists, and 1.7 rebounds. However, he can be a big-time scorer at times, so he would be a nice pickup for Donahue.
