Beamer Drops BC, Reopens Recruitment

0:00On March 12, Boston College made a big move over the weekend, firing head basketball coach Earl Grant after five years on the job. The change hit hard in recruiting as their only sign-e from the class of 2026 quickly asked out of his commitment. Four-star point guard Tray Beamer from IMG Academy in Bradance in Florida made the request official on Thursday. The six-foot-one senior, ranked number 93 nationally, had picked the Eagles from a final five that included Maryland, Mississippi State, USF, and Virginia Tech. Beamer and his family cited the coaching shake-up as the main reason, saying they need time to rethink options while he keeps developing. It's a tough blow for Boston College, already thin on income and talent for next year. Scouts praise Beamer's quick handle, shock creation, and pace changes that keep defenders guessing. He can score at all levels instead of teammates, though he sometimes over dribbles or struggles in traffic. Defensively, he's stepping up with better effort despite his size.

1:01Now Beamer's back on the market, drawing eyes from high-major programs, hunting a true floor leader. This could reshape his future as the Eagles start their search for a new coach.
