Our Boston College basketball preview 2021 - 22 observes that new head coach Earl Grant (127-89 in 7 years) is looking to rebuild this team into a gritty, hardworking group. It will take time, as Grant has inherited a team that has made one postseason appearance (NIT 2018) in five seasons. There’s a lot of work to do, as last season BC allowed opponents to score on 49.1 percent of their shots (335th Nationally).

It’s hoped that Drexel transfer T.J. Bickerstaff, a solid shooter and rebounder, can make a difference immediately. It will help if Frederick Scott, who played just seven games last season due to knee problems, can use his interior skills to command the paint. Mississippi State transfer center Quinten Post, a seven-foot shot blocker, has decent scoring and rebounding chops. Additionally, our Boston College basketball preview 2021 - 22 finds that senior F/C James Karnik has great potential as an inside and perimeter scorer.

At point, Makai Ashton-Langford is a reliable passer and defender, but his shooting chops have to improve. Wing DeMarr Langford Jr. is also a solid defender who’s able to score off the dribble. Our NCAAM Eagles preview acknowledges that Charleston transfer Bevin Galloway, another good defender, is a three-point sharpshooter. Other additions include Jaeden Zachery, a Chipola CC transfer, who’s can dish off assists, score, and defend, and 6-4 wing Kanye Jones, a defender who requires time to develop.
