Legendary NBC News anchorman David Brinkley once said, “A successful man is one who can lay a foundation from the bricks others have thrown at him”. Such pretty accurately describes the current condition of Boston College basketball and the role in rebuilding it that Coach Earl Grant faces.
While Monday night’s 87-57 loss at upstart Wake Forest was a sobering reminder of how far the Eagles have to go on the court, let’s not lose sight of the task which Grant, his staff and current team is undertaking and how the scattered and broken bricks tossed at him by former head coach Jim Christian are being laid back in place one at a time.
