2024 Boston College Football
- Thread starter Ale Xander
- Start date
BC gets commit from Charlie Comella from Wellesley and Xaverian, son of Stanford star and NFL fullback Greg, and one of the heirs to pizza/salad/restaurant empire.
Also commit from Cedric Lott Jr, a WR but a 3 sports star (400m-track and basketball) from Mesquite TX

Between Lott as an incoming freshman and Jarand Bradley from the transfer portal they have a couple of BIG WR targets coming in. Lott sounds like a project though. 6'6" 200lbs and apparently a good athlete but he's only played 1 year of football because he was focused on basketball so it may take some time. Bradley is listed at 6'5" 220. He had 10 TDs in 2 seasons at Texas Tech, so hopefully he will contribute right away. If nothing else the Hail Mary's should be interesting.
They lost out on Henry Hasselbeck, but in theory Jonathan Montague will eventually take over for Castellanos?
They lost a Hasselbeck? How is that possible? Hafley should be ashamed of himself. That whole family went/goes there.
Because the program sucks and HH had other options? He chose UCLA. I'm the biggest BC fan there is, but if my kid was good enough to play D1 QB, I'd tell him to go to UCLA over BC.
Oh, thats interesting. He had previously committed to MSU. UCLA is a better choice; MSU was an even worse loss for Hafley as theyre a pretty poor program as well.
I've heard there is a question about the younger Hasselbeck and his ability to stick at QB. And look, with the transfer portal, I wouldn't be surprised if he made his way back to BC at some point. Also going to be hard as an east coast kid to stick with all those west coast QB's UCLA will continue to recruit. Best of luck to him though.
Syair Torrence is gonna be good. Syracuse was interested under the old regime, but the 2 new Georgia WRs left him the odd man out.
Just picked up a 4-Star DB from OSU and this guy …

Hafley is leaving to be the Packers DC

Better be ready to spend some money then for the HC, staff, strength guy, and in NIL.
Bill could help his kid out and be the DC since he's got nothing else to do
I always think Al Golden would be a good choice for one of these northeast schools.

Hafley's reason for leaving is supposedly that he just wants to coach football instead of spending so much time dealing with fundraising, NIL, recruiting, and the transfer portal.
Early potential candidates at Boston College, per
@247Sports
industry sources: Bob Chesney, JMU Jason Candle, Toledo Todd Monken, Ravens OC Jeff Monken, Army Mike Reed, Clemson STC Liam Coen, Kentucky OC Al Golden, Notre Dame DC Kyle Flood, Texas OC
Not sure how reliable the source is, but Golden is on this list:

I've been impressed by Chesney over the years, and think that he's someone who could stick around for a while if hired. That being said, I doubt that he'd jump from JMU before even starting.
They lost to Northern Illinois and squeaked by Cross, Virginia, and Army last year. Schedule was pretty cake too. Good to aim high though.
I think it’s safe to say Al Golden will never work for Blake James again, due to their past litigation.

I was told on good authority that BC contacted Bob Chesney and gauged his interest but Chesney declined to pursue the job. His buyout is only $1.75 million.
LOL I did not know about that. Maybe I'm qualified to be a 247Sports industry source!?
I think it’s illustrative to look back at the coaches suggested for the Syracuse job and whom they actually hired. Lazy writers will see “small private northeast school” and just throw names against the wall.
Interesting. I have heard the opposite and that he is interested but being very careful.
That would be an underwhelming hire regardless. Not sure BC can get much better but a guy who did fine at Holy Cross isn't getting me too jazzed.
I would imagine that if he wants to jump back into the NFL soon, he won't be leaving his job at Ohio State for the BC head gig.
But if he just wants to be a head coach at the college level for 3-5 years I guess it makes sense.

He is from Boston and his son plays at Tufts. He also has a child with special needs and has expressed his strong opinion of the Boston hospitals. He will also get paid. You can say a lot of things about the BC job but they have paid market for coaches and keep in mind there’s no buy out here.
Poor bastard found one job worse than offensive coordinator of the 2023 Pats, but it's nice that he's staying around.
Lion alum here...15-9, with 7-5 and 8-4 records in 2011 and 2012, with teams that had been kneecapped due to sanctions and, as @snowmanny just pointed out, COY in 2012. So, in short, yes, he did. Probably the biggest disappointment for PSU fans was that he didnt stick around to tutor Christian Hackenberg. Who knows how much better Hack' development would have been under BOB? But thats not on BOB.
BC fans should be very excited.
