Overview: Boston College returns five starters from another Al Skinner squad that gave fits to most ACC teams. Their only loss was a big one as they have to replace lead guard Tyrese Rice (16.9ppg, 5.3apg). Skinner has a juinor-oriented team led by Rakim Sanders (12.9pp, 4.4rpg), an outstanding wing, who should take over the scoring lead. Junior Corey Raji (9.9ppg, 6.1rpg) is a 6-6 wing, who can score in a variety of ways. Junior Joe Trapani (13.4ppg, 6.6pg) had an excellent season after coming over from Vermont. He can play either forward spot. At center, Josh Southern (6ppg, 5.1rpg) returns to provide defense and rebounding. The key will be replacing Rice with junior Biko Paris (3.4ppg), who is more of a true point guard, who will shoot less and pass more.

Outlook: Boston College has a chance to be a pretty good team and with Skinner, they are going to play hard every night. They’ll need a big year from Sanders and Trapani to replace Rice’s scoring, who was that one player who could take over. That’s the one thing they seem to lack going into the season
