## Resource

Boston College Eagles score a potential recruiting steal as Michael Harden Jr.—stepson of Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla—commits to BC. Can this under-the-radar linebacker from Xaverian Brothers become the next breakout star? AJ Black breaks down Harden’s unexpected rise, from overlooked local recruit to impressing at Penn State’s loaded camp, and explores his athletic versatility, from linebacker to possible edge rusher. AJ Black also examines Boston College’s revamped linebacker group, the latest on key targets like Chase Pfeiffer, and bold changes coming to Alumni Stadium’s naming rights in pursuit of NIL funding. The show wraps with an insider’s guide to sweeping NCAA reforms: eligibility rule shifts, portal window shakeups, and what these changes mean for BC’s future recruiting battles and roster management.
