Messiah has four offers already, and one of them came from the school he lists as his favorite: Boston College. The Eagles have a new coach,
Oren Weis, whose Recruiting score is 48. Coach Weis's head recruiter, Richard Irizarry, is a max-level 100. I'm perfectly willing to match
Graham Sims and
Carroll Taylor against the BC duo.
Adam Bradley has the qualities we look for in a wing, too.

I would love to have three schollies available this year, because I really like all three of these players. We have a greater need for big guys right now, so I'll offer our second scholarship to Julian. But I think I might be quick to drop out of the
Messiah Lynch race if we don't overtake Boston College by next month. Adam is our kind of guy, much better than a "fall back" option.
