Other than the few weeks of spring practice, it should be a relatively quiet time for a college football program. Unfortunately, the offseason has been anything but quiet for Boston College. At this point, I’m sure... lhroberts@gmail.com (Lee Roberts) Boston College Eagles 2009-06-04T05:12:28-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/13032 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/13032 After reaching the ACC title game and winning 11 times last season, many people thought the Boston College Eagles would struggle this year. Having to replace Matt Ryan was one of the major reasons why pundits believed a drop-off was inevitable. However, two things -- a stifling defense and a consistent running game -- have the Eagles 5-1 and in the race for another trip to the ACC championship.... lhroberts@gmail.com (Lee Roberts) Boston College Eagles 2008-10-23T05:39:41-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/12442 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/12442 With Andre Callender and L.V. Whitworth gone, the Boston College Eagles need a running back. Callender, of course, was a nifty player who was a solid all-around back, while Whitworth brought power to BC's running game. Enter four-star freshman Josh Haden. Freshmen usually aren’t able to do the job in big-time college football, particularly early in the season. But Eagles offensive... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Boston College Eagles 2008-08-25T05:02:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/12374 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/12374 As Boston College readies for the 2008 college football season and tries to get its offense on the right track, it would seem important to note a key aspect of team play. In order to play well, teams quite obviously need athletes. What’s more, a program like Boston College, which doesn’t encompass a college town-type atmosphere, would seemingly need to succeed in its own state when it comes... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Boston College Eagles 2008-08-18T05:02:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/12360 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/12360 If Boston College, led by head football coach Jeff Jagodzinski, is going to continue contending for ACC championships, it'll obviously need to keep recruiting well. The Eagles are beginning to nab some verbal commitments for 2009, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Let’s see whom defensive coordinator Frank Spaziani will have in the fold for the program's '09 class. Kasim... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Boston College Eagles 2008-08-15T05:16:01-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11780 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11780 Landstown High (Virginia Beach, Va.) running back Sterlin Phifer gave his solid verbal to Boston College on Wednesday for the ’09 class. Last season the 5-foot-11, 205-pounder ran for 1,300 yards and scored 14 touchdowns. Rivals rates Phifer as a three-star prospect. Phifer chose Chestnut Hill over N.C. State, Maryland, Virginia and Virginia Tech. Mike Siravo is credited as the primary.... mahudgens@yahoo.com (Marc Hudgens) Boston College Eagles 2008-06-25T19:15:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11710 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11710 Everett High (Everett, Mass.) cornerback Jim Noel committed to Jeff Jagodzinski’s Boston College Eagles on Thursday for the ’09 class. Rivals rates the 6-foot-2, 180-pounder a three-star prospect; he chose Chestnut Hill over UConn, Maryland, Rutgers and Syracuse. Jeff Comissiong and Frank Spaziani are credited as the primaries. COMMENTARY: The second commitment for BC for the month of June,... mahudgens@yahoo.com (Marc Hudgens) Boston College Eagles 2008-06-20T20:30:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11687 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11687 Coming into every college football season, there are certain players whom each team knows must perform well if they’re going to have a hope of coming up big. Such, of course, is the case with the Boston College Eagles. One of their players who must rise to the fore is Alex Albright. Back in 2006, Albright was a three-star weakside defensive end prospect out of Cincinnati, Ohio, with good... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Boston College Eagles 2008-06-19T05:03:01-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11628 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11628 Hartford Public High (Hartford, Conn.) outside linebacker Andre Lawrence committed to Boston College on Saturday for the 2009 class. The 6-foot-1, 196-pounder runs a 4.48-second 40 and is the No. 18 OLB in the nation, according to Rivals. Last season, the three-star prospect recorded 50 tackles and six sacks. He also logged in 1,500 yards as a running back. Lawrence chose Chestnut Hill over... mahudgens@yahoo.com (Marc Hudgens) Boston College Eagles 2008-06-14T21:28:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11470 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11470 Four-star tight end Arthur Fontaine of Dartmouth, Mass., used to be one of Boston College’s two 2009 verbal commitments. Now, though, he’s a free agent again. Fontaine is hardly the only kid in the country who has -- or will, for that matter -- take back a commitment. But the fact that the 6-foot-5, 240-pounder wasn’t convinced enough to became an Eagle does reinforce the notion that the... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Boston College Eagles 2008-06-04T05:55:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11318 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11318 You know what’s so great about college football? The fact that it never really ends. As soon as they play the BCS national championship game, recruiting talk takes over until the next season commences. Speaking of that, the Boston College Eagles and head coach Jeff Jagodzinski are as involved as any team in the process. In fact, as RealFootball365.com has been telling you throughout the... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Boston College Eagles 2008-05-26T04:01:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11281 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11281 That's right, another Boston College lineman has been named to the Outland Trophy watch list. The Outland Trophy, of course, is given every season to college football's best interior lineman, and the Eagles have certainly spent their share of time on this list in the past. But there is a difference this season. This time, the lineman happens to play on the defensive ball; usually it's BC's... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Boston College Eagles 2008-05-21T04:00:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11208 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11208 As well as some other teams are doing on the college football recruiting trail, very few are pulling in much in the line of four- and five-star recruits thus far; it’s simply too early. Along those lines, the Boston College Eagles haven’t received as many 2009 verbal commitments as some other teams have, but the ones they are getting count. Both of BC's commits are four-star players.... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Boston College Eagles 2008-05-14T04:07:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11153 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11153 Everyone knows the drill: In order for the Boston College Eagles to continue the success they had in 2007, the team will need to recruit terrificly. Thus far in 2009, they’ve secured a verbal commitment from Trinity Pawling’s Dillon Quinn. Wondering who else is on their radar? Then take a gander at these three prospects the Eagles have in their sights. McCallum Foote: Foote is a 6-foot-5,... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Boston College Eagles 2008-05-07T04:09:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11116 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bostoncollege/11116 Pawling, N.Y., is not a big place. In fact, it’s a rather small, rural-looking area. Despite its diminutive size, however, Pawling sure does have a big guy playing football at one of the area high schools. His name is Dillon Quinn, a 6-foot-6, 271-pound student at Trinity Pawling High School who is a Boston College recruit. Impressive. In terms of production, Quinn managed 38 total... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Boston College Eagles 2008-05-05T04:00:00-05:00
