On Saturday, Boston College had a tough loss to NC State, losing 33-7. On campus were 50 recruits, both committed to BC and not.
We spoke to a handful, but before we get into their comments we should address the overall theme. Many BC fans worried that the lopsidedness of the loss was a major blow to recruiting. This is absolutely not the case. First off, Boston College is not selling a program to recruits that is built to win "right now". Hafley and his staff have talked to recruits about the direction of the program. That means the recruits were looking more at atmosphere (which was fantastic), the staff (who they continue to bond with), and their role in the future of the program (they still see it as bright). While many recruits reacted that they wished BC won, they all spoke positively about their experience.
And in case you missed it, Ty Chan, a four star offensive lineman from Lawrence Academy was on campus on Saturday. He is currently committed to Notre Dame.
