They got dominated on the boards by Saint Louis and against Harvard they could not make a three-pointer to save their lives and had too many turnovers.

 

But Skinner is a great developer of young players. He made Jared Dudley into the ACC player of the year. He helped Troy Bell become the all time points leader in Boston College.

 

He made Tyrese Rice, a three star on rivals who was said to have been too small and not skilled enough to play big time, the team's leading scorer for the last two seasons and dropped 46 on the Tar Heels.

 

Now Skinner has his front-court solidified with soon to be juniors Joe Trapani, Corey Raji, and Josh Southern. He’s got his point in Biko Paris.

 

And now after a summer of working on his jump shot and smoothing out his handles, Al Skinner has his scorer.

 

Look out for BC. Look out for Jackson.
