Part II of AC interview and other links

Here is part II of BC Draft/Eagle Insider's interview with Castonzo. In this section he discusses his improving teammates and the highlights of his BC career.


BC put up a video interview with new baseball coach Mike Gambino on bceagles.com. Unfortunately BC is not letting us embed those videos (yet). Also you can get a glimpse of the new Under Armour polo shirts.


Matt Tennant has good things to say about Sean Devine and his time at BC. Matt also says he wants to go to law school after his playing career is over.


The BCI guys spoke with the Football Outsiders to better understand how they came about their projections for BC.


BC is in the final three for Delaware lineman Trip Thurman.

Craig Smith got a new deal with the Clippers.


Troy Vincent was on campus to talk to the football players about finishing their degrees and life after football. I hope with all the agent news going on in college football, that he told them to be smart about their decisions off the field.

We need Castonzo and others to talk to Thurman immediately, if they haven't already! "Thurman says he’s looking for a solid academic program. And while he plans to major in Biology and possibly pursue a medical degree, he admits his dream is to play in the NFL and knows his playing career in college can make or break that opportunity."

Let's go BC - Let's go Coach Spaz and staff!!!

Let's go Coach Sean Devine put your Bachelor of Arts degree in Physics to good work. Go visit with the recruit's mother and father!!!!!!!!

What the issue with recruiting? The quality is there, but not the numbers (only a third of the way to our 2011 target). In the last month, we seem to repeatedly fall short of peer schools (UVA, Pitts, Northwestern) for more than a handful or kids. There still is a lot of time, but I'm beginning to get anxious about the quality of the rest of the class.

Agree though with Big Jack: if Trip Thurman is serious about school, and wants a legit shot at the NFL, BC is the right school for him (he's down to BC, Florida, and South Carolina). At any other position, I'd chalk this up to an easy recruiting victory for Florida, but our track record for putting O Lineman in the NFL, and these are Pro Bowl Lineman, speaks for itself; ranks up there with all the big boys of the SEC and Big 10.

Not to mention that South Carolina really doesn't compare to us academically. Let's hope for NCAA sanctions on Florida. I'm not ashamed to admit that.

Second to last question talks about TOB and mentions how BC fans thought of him.

O'Brien piece is pretty funny. Want to talk about bad recruiting, take a look at NC State's 2011 class so far. 4 recruits none rated very highly.

He doesn't win this year he's fucked. Someone will inherit a Senior Russell Wilson and have one year to make some noise before dealing with the shit recruit pipeline. Hhmmm where have I heard this story before???

Dan -- TOB had his faults, but he did have some monster recruiting years.

consider his 2003 gem of a class. We'd luv to see a class like that repeated at BC!
