Boston College Eagles – Forward

The Eagles recently landed 17 ppg scoring guard Claudell Harris, Jr. to help bolster the backcourt. They now need more frontcourt help this offseason, at either the forward or center position. They lost TJ Bickerstaff to the transfer portal and still don’t know the status of 4-year big man Quentin Post, coming off a breakout season.

Defensively, Boston College has always struggled on the interior so whether Post is back or not, the team needs to find some defensive help. And having a true four-man that can produce on both ends is a need for the program next season.

Syracuse Orange – Center

Things started out okay for the Orange, quickly landing Notre Dame starting guard JJ Starling early in the offseason to pair with Judah Mintz in the backcourt, assuming that he returns from the NBA Draft process. Freshmen Justin Taylor and Maliq Brown are back, along with starting forward, Benny Williams.

The hole that is suddenly open for the program is at center after losing starting big man Jesse Edwards. He averaged 14.5 ppg and 10.3 rpg this past season and his backup is Mounir Hima, which would be a steep drop for the Orange. There are plenty of big men still available but now, they have to land one.
