Recruiting news: decommit and more 3rd QB news

One of BC's highest rated recruits, Ohio Running Back LeShun Daniels decommitted and is now headed to Iowa. This one hurts. Running back is a position of need and emphasis for Addazio. Daniels had the chance to come in right away and contribute. Seeing players waiver is natural though and only more predictable when there is a coaching change. Fortunately Addazio is out trying to find another back.

One other thing that is more apparent is that BC is probably taking three QBs in this class. BC just offered a scholarship to South Carolina Dual Threat QB Michael Julian. We need QB talent but not three in one class. I know BC is honoring all of Spaz's commitments, but I expect something to give with the two QBs who verbaled to Spaz. It is clear Addazio is headed in a different direction. I just hope BC manages the roster and expectations well in this process.

Pantale talks offense and other links

HD held a Q&A with Chris Pantale. What I found refreshing was Chris's candor. He spoke of the difficulty learning new offenses, his desire to step up and the attrition of his old teammates.

The class you came in with, why did it get so small?
CP: Part of it was the coaching changes. Some guys came in with bad attitudes I guess, thought they should’ve been playing right away. Some of the guys I came in with had a bigger ego and when they didn’t play right away hung their heads a little bit and started to slack off in school. They brought it upon themselves. It wasn’t what BC did to them. It was their own fault for most guys, but some guys left for what they felt was better options. You can’t blame them if they didn’t feel like they didn’t belong there.

The character of Jags's mega-class has been questioned for years. I am surprised that a current player finally spoke out about it.

Ohio running back LeShun Daniels committed to BC. He's a good and much needed addition to this class after the decommitment of Virginia running back Josh Tapscott.

Daniels' offer list is thin but I like what he showed on this tape.

BC High's Jack McDonald committed to UVA. Trey Kilgore verballed to Michigan State.
