BC Lands Aussie Star Furphy, Boosts Backcourt

On April 25, Boston College just snagged a big win for their basketball squad, landing

a commitment from Yukon Freshman Point Guard Jacob Furfie.

This six-foot-six Aussie didn't play last year due to injury, but brings four full years

of eligibility to the Eagles.

He's a top 100 recruit from Down Under, a four-star talent originally brought to stores

by now.

B.C. head coach Luke Murray.

Furfie's got that cerebral game, thriving as a skilled wing who connects the offense

with sharp asses, long-range bombs, and smart reads-in, picking roles.

He's got gravity as a shooter, but packed strength and competitiveness, even if his defense

needs some polish.

Last summer, with Australia's under 18 team at the FIBA Asia Cup, he dropped 16.8 points,

4.2 boards, and 2.3 assists per game, hitting 46.4% from deep on 13 of 28 tries.

Fans and scouts are buzzing about this high upside grab, seeing him as the perfect scoring

guard who fits right into B.C. system without breaking the bank.

Murray knows exactly what he's getting, no surprises, just proven tape from his recruiting

days.

It's the smart move Eagles need to build momentum.

Now the back courts loaded with shooters, Furfie joins Ernest Shelton from Merrimack and

Money Williams from Montana, creating real spacing and firepower.

This sets B.C. up for a sharper attack next season.

Watch how Furfie elevates the squad.
