The departure of several key players from the Boston College men's basketball roster exposes the challenges facing the program as it undergoes a coaching change and rebuilding effort.South Bend TodayBoston College men's basketball guard Caleb Steger, a former 3-star recruit, plans to enter the transfer portal, according to a report from The Athletic. Steger is the 7th player to leave the Eagles' roster since the end of the 2025-26 season, which saw BC go 11-20 overall and 4-14 in ACC play.
Why it matters
The mass exodus from Boston College's roster is a major concern for new head coach Luke Murray, who was hired in March to turn around the struggling program. Steger was a promising young player, and his departure along with 6 other transfers leaves the Eagles with a depleted roster heading into next season.
The details
Steger, a 6-foot-5 guard, averaged 3.3 points and 1.0 rebound per game as a freshman. He was a 4-star recruit out of Jesuit Dallas High School, where he was named the District 7-6A Most Valuable Player in 2024-25 after averaging 18.3 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.
- The transfer portal officially opened on Tuesday, April 7, 2026.
- The portal will close on Tuesday, April 21, 2026.
The players

What they’re saying
“The news comes just an hour after the Eagles lost forward Jayden Hastings to the portal as well.”
— Tobias Bass, Reporter
What’s next
The transfer portal will close on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, so Boston College will have a limited window to try and retain any other players who may be considering a move.
The takeaway
Boston College's new head coach Luke Murray faces a major rebuilding challenge, with 7 players now having entered the transfer portal since the end of last season. Retaining talent and building a competitive roster will be critical for Murray as he looks to turn the program around.
