Herzy caught in Condon-Pats spat and other links

I tweeted it during the Draft, but NESN expanded on how Tom Condon's testy relationship may have impacted the Patriots thoughts on drafting or signing Mark. Fortunately most NFL teams are pragmatic and will sign Mark if it makes sense for them (regardless of who reps him).

The big news of the day was the release of the ACC's TV schedule. Currently BC is slotted for six televised games, but more are likely to be scheduled. The big news are the increased ACC regional games. In the past there was only one, which led to many relevant ACC games being placed on ESPN3.com. Now with occasional ACC regional double-headers, more games will be on TV.

BC is involved with QB Nathan Peterman.

New England golden crop of hoops targets and other links

When arguing that BC cannot reach the next level in basketball or football, people often claim that there is not enough talent in New England. In basketball that might not be the case anymore. There is a strong and growing AAU pipeline and more and more top prospects are now playing in New England prep schools. Let's hope that BC can start to leverage our location...especially with the very deep 2012 class.

So far it seems like there isn't much meat to the 'Skinner to the Celtics' rumor. I actually think he would be a great fit for Doc Rivers and company. He's not the defensive specialist that Tom Thibodeau is, but Skinner was an under appreciated Xs & Ox guy.

Here is a feature the NFL's top agent and BC guy Tom Condon.
