Fact:Both schools have had mediocre records, Texas with recruits reputed to be better than BC's. Rather than a complement to BC, it could be viewed either as an indictment of Texas coaching, OR the faults of recruitment ratings system. Beyond that, all else is spin.eagletixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548761389150811480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-65112502494310478242018-08-14T16:36:07.988-04:002018-08-14T16:36:07.988-04:00We can only hope that the mid-year coaching change...We can only hope that the mid-year coaching changes and change in attitude are the new normal.

I believe he said BC had the top RB, OL, and secondary units in the conference. He acknowledged that the back end of the schedule is tough, but the home games against Clemson and Miami put BC in a position to make some noise. He also believes Dillon will be in New York for the Heisman ceremony (though not winning the award).<br /><br />Everything's in place for a big season.

He is very confident we exceed 6.5 wins. He also did a positional breakdown for each team in the ACC and based on that analysis he has BC as the third most talented team, on paper. Listened to a podcast last week in which he had to ask himself why people weren’t giving BC more of a shot to win the Atlantic based on their roster.

You should check the rest of that thread for more confirmation on that. He had 5 BC related tweets in a row. The point he’s trying to make is 2 fold. 1 BC does an exceptional job at finding and developing unheralded high school recruits. 2 for whatever reason high school players in Texas consistently receive higher ratings from recruiting services than high school players from the NorthEast, where BC recruits. None of this was intended to mock BC.NYCEaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07120770209058274731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-85824288600679828062018-08-14T11:20:51.233-04:002018-08-14T11:20:51.233-04:00This was put out by the manbun AD at Iowa State, I...This was put out by the manbun AD at Iowa State, I bet. A shot at Texas with a backhanded compliment to BC stirred in. Put us on the field with any Big 12 team and we rock them.<br /><br />Ask Texas why they won't play us anymore. 1971. The chatter on the post about small school in Boston shows ignorance of the past(1971) and the guardrails BC has in place that Texas does not. If BC were open to everyone and everything like Texas it would be top 10 at everything. Playboy had BC ranked as a top party school at one point. We could have top 20 football and basketball program in 24 hours but the kids have to go to school and aren't given coke and hookers by assistant coaches. <br /><br />Fuck Texas and the douche comparing the two.<br /><br />The backhanded compliment is not about Addazio having a poor record. It is a shot saying that even BC is better than Texas as recruiting and producing NFL players. . . Even the doormat is better than Texas. Hipster from Iowa State definitely put this out there.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847627726401491567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-25736938106063070962018-08-14T11:19:33.456-04:002018-08-14T11:19:33.456-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847627726401491567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-46034428119909282562018-08-14T10:57:18.596-04:002018-08-14T10:57:18.596-04:00Backhanded compliment for sure.
