BC Recruiting Revival

[IrishSteelhead]

Cute little story on how Addazio has changed the recruiting culture at BC:

Boston College's Steve Addazio transforming Eagles' recruiting - College Football - Pete Thamel - SI.com

Good for them. Glad they're having fun with it, and I'm sure fans would be tickled pink if they can win 4-5 games this year.

The staff started an Instagram page; "Keep Calm and #bedadude" is the message over the dominant image. Recently, the Eagles' staff began experimenting with Vine, a six-second video app owned by Twitter that's become increasingly popular of late. Once technophobes, many of BC's staff members can be spotted screaming into the camera in an attempt to crack up recruits.

Freudian slip?

Freudian slip?

Haha.

All I see in their class is 2 and 3 stars. Some transformation.

yeah i read the article and was expecting some 4 star guys or a bunch of SEC country recruits but its not a great haul, yeah they ringfenced MA but its not like its Dade County or something.

That's nice. And BC could become a bit of a thorn in our side if they indeed "ring-fence" some of the better New England/New York programs like Everett and Bosco that should be BC pipelines but where we've pulled top-tier recruits lately (Montelus and Shumate, respectively).
Mostly, though, I suspect that story got written because Pete Thamel lives in Boston and wanted to stay home for a few days. Can't say I blame him.

The most remarkable (and maybe only remarkable) thing about BC's recruiting efforts right now is the number of commits (21). They are behind only NC State (24) and tied with Texas for 2nd most in the country right now. I know that doesn't mean much on July 11, but it's remarkable for their program.
