New recruits and other links

The recruiting action continued this week as two more prospects committed to Spaz. This isn't surprising. Word is Spaz is focused on filling out the class this summer instead of waiting until Fall. He took a similar approach last year, so that the staff could focus on game prep once the games begin. At this point, I am fine with this strategy as it will either pay off with a better record or provide a new coach a large base to lock in as opposed to finding a bunch of new recruits.

The first new commitment came from Ohio Defensive Line prospect Joel Rich. Rich is an under the radar type but impressed at BC's recent camp. He's also friends with Bobby Swiggert, so he's very familiar with life as a student athlete at BC.

BC also picked up another player from Eastern Ohio in WR Dan Monteroso. He picked BC over offers from Iowa.

Former Heights writer Kevin Armstrong wrote a great article on Tom Coughlin's relationship with Jay McGillis.

On the women's basketball scene, Karima Gabriel's long-rumor transfer became official. She played at Depaul last season.

The definitive Herzy article

Great read. Of course it was written by Kevin Armstrong.

Note to Sandy Herzlich, there are definitely more than five people who think Mark can make it back for 2010!

Spaz gets the Kevin Armstrong treatment

BC's best alumni sports writer used his pulpit to write a profile about Spaz. Most of the stuff we know, but a good job all around.

Does Armstrong have any eligibility left?

BC guy, former Heights editor, and current SI.com writer Kevin Armstrong went under cover at one of those high school camp/combines as a QB. It's a good, light-hearted piece. As a follow up, I'd love to know more about the selection of participants and who picks up the tab for the event.

My scouting report. Kevin lacks the ideal size for a QB and his release is slow. 1 star.
