Boston College Notes
(5/15) BC feels RB room is deep & talented, strong TY
(5/15) OL added two D2 portals? Must trust depth
(5/15) DL added 6 portals, but four from D2. No clue
(3/21) QB James took over LY, Lonergan (Bama) add
(3/21) RB, Pemberton (BSU) added, depth has exp
(3/21) OL 3/5 back, bad LY, needs to improve
(3/21) Def below avg LY. Need to find a pass rush
(3/21) Took 6 FCS portals on lines, 4 Def, 2 Off.
(3/21) Off could be much improved if OL/QB jump.
(3/21) O'Brien central casting BC HC. 2nd yr staff
