Transfer time UPDATE

Rumor moves to fact as both Marcus Outlow and Sherman Alston are gone. This is natural after a bad season and one that was disappointing for both players. Best of luck to them. Alston had his moments at BC. Unfortunately for Outlow, he never really did.

As frustrated as a I am with Addazio, this sort of attrition is natural. Now it is on him to go and get good replacements.

UPDATE: Gowins is gone too.

Gorman pitching well in Cape League and other links

John Gorman is back in the bullpen during this Cape Cod League season. The good news is that he is playing well enough to earn a full roster spot.

Soaring to Glory moved their profile series to key RB Marcus Outlow.

If you're looking for a BC angle at the ESPYs, how about Johnny Gaudreau potentially winning top male college athlete.

More Outlow stuff and other links

Addazio's first real commitment spoke to ESPN about BC. Based on Outlow's comments, you can tell Addazio is pitching BC's academics (as he should), but he's also selling early playing time. Hopefully the ability to play early carries across this whole recruiting class.

The Red Sox will only use their relievers against BC in our annual exhibition Spring Training game.

Here is a Q&A with Nick Clancy.

This is about Nebraska, but I think it is an interesting read on geography, player development and how recruiting has evolved. Because Nebraska has to look beyond its borders for talent, I thought there were a lot of lessons for BC to learn.

Addazio gets first verbal of 2014 recruiting class

After the disappointing close to the transitional recruiting class, many (including me) were looking for Addazio to clean up in his 2014 class. It is off to a good start with the first verbal Marcus Outlow. The Connecticut RB has a solid offer list and will probably be a highly rated recruit when the 2014 rankings come out. Now let's add some more talent.
