Boston College: Brevin Galloway and Quinten Post
Decrease in production: Brevin Galloway
Brevin Galloway played just four games last season for the College of Charleston and those four starts were enough to garner interest from head coach Earl Grant. Galloway’s fifteen points per game average was highlighted by a twenty-seven-point performance versus Marshall and a fifteen-point performance versus North Carolina in the season opener.
Aside from the seven games as a freshman, the 6’2 guard has started all but two, a trend that should continue at the start of the Eagles’ season, but is far from a guarantee. Not only will Galloway’s role in the starting line-up be challenged, playing time will be as well by DeMarr Langford.
In his first season, the 6’5 Langford started nine games and averaged twenty-five minutes while scoring almost seven points per game. Galloway’s 42 percent shooting from beyond the arc will give him the edge, but this is more of a platoon than a defined starter/backup situation.
Increase in production: Quinten Post
Last season 6’9/230 James Karnik was the biggest player they had to play the center position, this season the Eagles will have a post, Quinten Post to be exact. The 7’0 / 230-pound Sociology student arrives in Chestnut Hill after two seasons and thirty-nine games with Mississippi State. Post leaves Mississippi State as Garrison Brooks arrives, as Post averaged fewer than nine minutes in a backup role to Abdul Ado.
The third-year German-born center will get his first start in an NCAA game alongside Karnik and with T.J Bickerstaff coming off the bench for either player, Post will not just have an increase in production but will be a valuable component of Coach Grant’s offense in the post.
