Boston College men’s basketball had a disappointing 2025-26 season. The Eagles went just 11-20 overall and head coach Earl Grant was fired after the season ended, with a coaching search currrently underway to find his successor.
While Grant was never able to put the pieces together and make the NCAA Tournament during his time at BC, his teams didn’t lack talent. With Quinten Post starring in the NBA for the Golden State Warriors and guard Jaeden Zackery having a successful year with Clemson last year, plenty of skill graced the court throughout his tenure.
This year, two players feature on college basketball’s biggest stage: Saint Louis’s Dion Brown and Vanderbilt’s Devin McGlockton.
McGlockton played two seasons at BC: 2022-23 and 2023-24. In his final year on the Heights, he tallied 10.2 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, providing a steady presence at the power forward position for Grant alongside Post at the five.
McGlockton transferred to Vanderbilt and has also played two seasons in Nashville, maintaining his value as a solid role player in the SEC. This season, he averaged 9.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game as the Commodores finished fourth in the SEC with a 27-8 overall record.
Brown played just one season at BC: 2024-25. He transferred in from UMBC after his sophomore season, where he averaged 19.0 points. He struggled to find consistency as an Eagle, averaging 7.5 points per game. He now features for Saint Louis, who finished first in the Atlantic 10 with a 28-5 record. As a member of the Billikens, he tallied 11.1 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.
Whoever takes over from Grant will look to keep talent at BC and return to the NCAA Tournament.
