ACC Basketball: 2024 offseason grades for all 18 programs

For the most part, the offseason in college hoops is over, ending a three-month span for teams that included plenty of roster additions and subtractions. That includes ACC Basketball, which itself adds three programs (Cal, SMU, and Stanford) to its conference roster.

Before we look ahead to the 2024-25 season, here's one last look/recap on the offseason, giving out grades to each ACC team, in alphabetical order.

Boston College Eagles - Grade: D-

The one thing that Boston College couldn’t control was losing star big man Quinten Post, who led the team with 17.0 ppg and 8.1 rpg. The All-ACC center ran out of eligibility and was the lone true senior on the roster. So at least the team could bring everyone else back… right?

Unfortunately for them, that wasn’t the case. All five of the other players who started most of the games elected to transfer out. That includes key guards Claudell Harris Jr., Jaeden Zackery, and Mason Madsen, as well as forwards, Prince Aligbe and Devin McGlockton.

None of these guys are individual superstars but there were core pieces on a 20-win team. Now, they have to start over outside of returning sophomore guard, Donald Hand. But a good case can be made that even taking Post aside, the roster got worse this offseason. Clemson reserve guard Joshua Beadle is the lone high-major pickup, hoping that mid-major transfers Dion Brown and Roger McFarlane’s games can translate to the ACC level.

The biggest problem is that even if St. Bonaventure transfer Chad Venning can play well at center, there’s literally no depth outside of him in the frontcourt, making Aligbe’s departure hurt more. Boston College has found a way to be feisty before but it’s hard to see how they’ll be able to do that next season.
