Diamond In The Rough

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- In his first appearance in a Boston College uniform, Jaeden Zackery fouled out.

It was the season opener, but the first time wearing the maroon and gold lasted less than 15 minutes for the junior college newcomer. He sank his first shot attempt on a 3-pointer in the game's first 90 seconds, but after missing his other two attempts, the night against Dartmouth ended with as many turnovers as points.

It wasn't exactly a banner night.

The good news for Zackery is that what he lacked against the Big Green didn't stick around, and as the closing weeks of his first Division I season dawns, a player initially eyed as a reserve is now a breakout name on a team ready to make noise in the final week of the 2021-22 regular season.
