Boston College Head Coach Earl Grant Offers High Praise For Transfer Big Man, The Rundown: June 11, 2025

It was an interesting offseason for Boston College men's hoops to say the least, but after making the decision to run it back with Earl Grant at the helm, he and the staff went out and signed a solid transfer portal class, including a big man that will look to bring a familiar game to Beantown.

Boden Kapke comes to BC via Butler after averaging just over four points per game and just under three boards to boot. Those might not jump straight of the page, but in a video posted to the team's socials yesterday, Grant stated that Kapke's game reminded him a lot of recent BC graduate Quinten Post.

However, Grant was quick to point out that a statement like that can put a lot of pressure on a player, and that wasn't what he wants to do for Kapke.

Whether Kapke will live up to that hype remains to be seen, but by most accounts, Grant put together as solid of a transfer class as one could ask for when it comes to rebounding after a rough 2024-25 season. Only time will tell if these transfers play out, or if the staff can put the pieces together as the leaves begin to turn later this year.
