Per sources: BC has found their man. Welcome Bill O'Brien to
#TheNut
. Let's build.

Never forget that Jaeden Zackery bet on himself. No offers out of high school? Take a prep year. Still no interest? Develop at a JUCO. His story is one of intense self-belief and perseverance. Should be a fan favorite for the next three years.

Huge news for BC. We've seen Jerome, Ky, and Demarr run this play. Hopeful that he gets good feedback while we work on the NIL package and then we can run it back next year. Good luck, Quentin.

Hearing from multiple sources that Donald Hand Jr., a 2022 HS grad from Virginia, will be committing to BC tomorrow. The 4-star, 6'5" guard has offers/interest from Georgia Tech and Maryland, among others. If true, this is a huge get for Earl.

BREAKING: Makai Ashton-Langford confirms
@ArtestJones
report, he will be returning for one more season at The 'Nut. No one, and I mean no one, loves Makai more than me (non-Langford family division), so this is some life-affirming news for me.

Down two starters. Lose another. Lose a role player. Doesn't matter. Gritty Not Pretty. 2-0.

We need the students to pack Conte on Saturday. We're playing to ingrain a culture into this program. 3 ACC wins in a row is uncharted territory in the last decade. This team could have quit, but they didn't. That's the

difference.

Jaeden Zackery is a top 15 point guard in the country and a healthy, attacking Demarr Langford Jr. is a legitimate NBA talent. I'm so confident right now.

For 2 years it felt like Beac and I were tweeting into the void. Then we hired Earl, found an identity, came up with a dumb slogan (thanks, Lane), and little by little more of you bought in. It's dumb but it's creating an atmosphere in Conte and around the program. Thank you.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the last time we see a number of key players in BC jerseys. This was a fun group to watch. Maddening at times, but they gave a shit. Through ups and downs, they competed. Can't ask for more.

Between the Post injury, Makai and Demarr fighting all year, JZ getting beat up, Prince getting hurt early, and Donny going down for the year, there's a lot of what-ifs for this team. But man, they never stopped fighting.

Hafley wasn't long for this job. Huge upside in not being tied to a buyout. Now let's bring in someone who can deliver results while fundraising.

On the bright side, I watched JZ try to pick up a girl and think he was successful. Basketball: 1-0 on the season.

Big Glock is my favorite player we've had since Jerome. Just excels at his role. Does everything you ask, nothing you don't. Takes pride in the details. Finds a way to contribute at the margins. Puts on his hard hat and goes to work.

Eli Strong's minutes in the second half were so crucial. For a guy who hadn't played since a blowout on opening night, he came in and played high energy, aggressive, but controlled basketball. Instant spark plug. So impressive.

It's funny to look back on all the promotions and giveaways Jarmond ran to try to get kids to show up when just a few years, a new coach, and a couple dozen burner accounts later, they're now coming out in droves without additional incentive. The product is always the catalyst.

Never forget that Jerome was the best player in the country for a six week stretch in the 2017-18 season.

I've seen multiple people say we're few injuries and a friendly whistle away from being 17-12 with wins over UVA and Duke, however we're also a few made shots away from adding losses to Cornell, Detroit Mercy, and URI. My point: 14-15 is probably about where this team should be.

I don't know how you can take Earl as a head coach seriously when he benches two of your four best players - arguably your two best in conference play - for the final stretch of a close game. Just embarrassing decision making. No accountability for how he managed this half.

Big Glock isn't just passing the Eye Test, he's an animal in the advanced metrics too. Need to get him some more run.

Some non-BC food for thought this morning: Based on a 2021 survey, 52% of all transgender and nonbinary young people in the U.S. seriously contemplated killing themselves in 2020. That's a staggering number that extends beyond sports. Be an ally.

Huge win. First winning regular season since 2017-18 locked up. Only the second winning season in the last decade. This season could have gone much better, but this is progress.

Fuck everyone who's jumping ship. I've cared way too long to let one "bad" loss make me lose hope. We still have Quinten Post, Jaeden Zackery, and Big Glock. I still believe.

Things we learned today:
- Walshy looks great in that plaid suit
- JZ, even through what has been a tough year, makes winning plays
- We need to examine how Post is being utilized
- Glock is just a delight
- Some of the worst end of game execution I've ever seen

I'm so fucking confident in this team that Earl's assembled. Assuming we're healthy, I expect to be playing meaningful late February and early March basketball, which after the last decade of mostly irrelevance, is all we can ask for.

I wish JZ the best and understand the decision entirely. Hoping he can make the BC community proud by making an impact elsewhere.

Boston College junior guard Jaeden Zackery will go portaling, source told

Zackery averaged 11.3 points and 4.2 assists and shot 41 percent from 3 this past season. Has averaged double-figure scoring all 3 seasons in Chestnut Hill.

I can't believe how good Jaeden Zackery is. Plays with more poise and patience than a lot of upper classmen, plays fundamental defense, understands how to use his body and the basket to create space around the hoop. Credit to Earl for finding him and to him for stepping up.

Makai was probably the most important player tonight. Kept Appleby in check for the first half, played solid defense on him in the second, was poised when things could have gotten out of hand, rebounded well This team is lucky to have him and it's been fun to watch him develop.

We've arguably had better players in recent memory, but I can't think of a player who is singularly more impactful for his team than Quentin Post. It's pretty remarkable how he transforms this group.

Proud of this team for their resiliency down the stretch. Not sure when we'll have someone like Post again. What a thrill to watch him compete for the last three seasons.
We know where we need to improve in the offseason. The hunt for the Tournament continues.

MJ's performance tonight is as good of a game as anyone for BC has played all year including Post. I'm in awe of his patience on offense and how he has kept up the intensity on defense. Really high level stuff.

The best story in college football in New England is Holy Cross. This program was in the shitter before Chesney showed up, if he wants to stay, he will have a statue built on campus someday.
✅ 5-0 for the first time since 1991
✅ First win at Harvard Stadium since 2000
✅ First time ever beating Harvard and Yale in the same season

Eli's emergence as a legitimate player in these last two games is why you play in the NIT. He's gaining confidence and we're watching the game slow down for him in real time.

Mason had 14-4-2 on 50% shooting, Glock had 13-2-2 WITHOUT MISSING A FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT and Earl said, "Fuck it, let them ride the pine." This is certifiably insane.
I don't know how you can take Earl as a head coach seriously when he benches two of your four best players - arguably your two best in conference play - for the final stretch of a close game. Just embarrassing decision making. No accountability for how he managed this half.

Tears in my eyes as our hitter,
@BrendanPorath

Who has it better than us?!

Keep catching myself chuckling like a madman because BC athletics senior leadership had to take time in a meeting to address a growing movement of "sickos" who want to "defend the nut" led by "Beacon Street Ball" and "BC Ball Hot Takes." It can't get more ridiculous than this.

Want to bump this. I'm not sure why Mason isn't getting more minutes. I can imagine that's frustrating for a guy who had a tough offseason physically, but his attitude when he gets in games and how he has been doing the little things is huge. That stuff wins games.
Play of the game by Mason. Clearly hasn't gotten the run he should be and he sprints back to save a possession. This team, fellas.

It's become apparent that the Earl discourse is getting more polarized. For the record, I think the correct take is that he's a great motivator, talent evaluator, and player developer. However, he is just bad at making decisions during games and that can outweigh a lot.

Jurk's lasting legacy at BC has nothing to do with on-field production and everything to do with the sentiment surrounding his arrival. Don't know if that's good or bad, but for a little while, it felt like we were a big boy program and, however fleeting, that was pretty cool.

Just a reminder folks, we have five returning starters, the best incoming freshman class since the Bush administration, a good coach, and some good transfers in the basketball program. No reason to get upset over the Jurk/Haf being fraudulent. Real season starts in November.

That's game. Anyone with press conference access needs to be asking what the idea was with leaving Claud on the bench for that long. This is another winnable game that was fucked up by terrible subbing.
