Rakim Sanders Transfers from Boston College, ACC Makeover Continues

Stay connected for news and updates

The coaching carousel might've stopped turning, but the face of the ACC is still changing. The latest departure is Rakim Sanders, a G/F for Boston College.

Next season would've been his senior year, and he probably would've played a pretty big role in any sort of BC revival. He's been a nearly 30-minute-per-game player ever since he arrived on campus, and averaged 11 points last season. He wasn't a massive part of BC's team, but losing a senior starter and major contributor from an already-struggling team can't be good.

It also hurts because Boston College really had (or still has, some would argue) the chance to be a surprise ACC contender next season. They'd return literally almost everything - over 90% of their scoring and all 5 starters would've been returning had Sanders stayed on board. Combined with a new vigor around the program and a new coach, it looked like the Eagles could've done some damage.

Now that he's gone, it's almost BC doesn't have their Sean Mosley - Sanders is far more active offensively, but Mosley does more on defense on the glass, so their contributions were probably similar. Sanders' departing isn't a dagger to those comeback hopes, but it's certainly a hindrance. Regardless, it's good news for Maryland.

Now, is Kyle Singler next? Hopefully.

Note: Once he makes his decision, I'll finalize the Coming and Going research and we'll get it up shortly after.
