Boston College Football Recruiting: What's Next?
Yesterday, Boston College landed Jamareeh "Bugg" Jones, a wide receiver from Highland Springs, Virginia. The 6'0 speedster is the 20th recruit in the Class of 2021, meaning the Eagles still have space to build on this class if they choose to do so. There are loads of possible names remaining so let's look at some of the possible options to round out this class.
Drew Kendall - Guard - MA. This is the story that seems to have no ending. It was rumored that the young legacy was going to make his decision this weekend, but it has been radio silence up to this point. He could very well make his decision Monday, it's a three day weekend, but he may still want to decide and the process could drag on further. Based off of 247sports rankings he would be a higher rank than any player Steve Addazio brought in, meaning Kendall is a big deal. The Eagles will have to beat out Michigan, Stanford and Duke. Currently 247 writers have been switching to BC, and I have my prediction that he will last in Chestnut Hill as well.
Daymon David- Defensive Back - Maryland: Another four star, David would be another solid addition and is a name we have talked about extensively on this site. He has been very quiet about his date, but his decision should be down to just BC, Michigan and Oregon.
Coco Lukrich -Offensive Line/Fullback - Utah. It may be tricky to pry him off the west coast, but Lukrich has a big interest in BC. He visited BC on an unofficial visit this summer, just to get a feel for the campus. He has some of the most tantalizing tapes of this class, just an absolute athletic freak who is physical and moves very quickly.
John Howse IV - Defensive Back - Tennessee. Solid offer sheet, and he is high on the Eagles. Could Boston College land him? Absolutely. Will there be enough room in the recruiting class to fit another defensive back? That's a better question.
Khalil Dinkins - Tight End - Pennsylvania. One position that the Eagles haven't addressed so far this cycle is tight end. They have had quite a few offers out and kids they were close with, but still haven't landed one. Dinkins is intriguing, big offer sheet and high ranking, but BC could sneak in. Would be a nice addition late in the cycle.
Flipping a Committed Recruit. We have already seen Hafley do this once flipping Clinton Burton Jr from Florida. If he can continue the level of excitement around the program through the season, he may be able to open some eyes of recruits that committed elsewhere. There are loads of names to still watch: Jake Renda (TE), Derek Wilkins (DE), TJ Guy (DT), Jack Bech (WR). And as we saw with Burton there may be other players who fly under the radar.
