Great news for the Bruins. Looking forward to seeing Chris to do great things in his senior season.

But I'm sadly skeptical that there will be a season. The NCAA recommended health and safety guidelines (at least the one I found on the NCAA website) are sadly pathetic. College players are expected to self-monitor when they are away from team activities and facilities; the NCAA recommends testing only once a week during the season. These guidelines are far looser than the MLB guidelines and we're already seeing MLB swirling around the toilet, on the verge of going down the hole.

Wasn't there one last recruit waiting to announce? Does this put us out of the running?

This is great news. It would have been a whole lot greater if we had Nix and a normal season on the horizon, but, 2020...

Hopefully there will be some semblance of a basketball season this winter. I think there's a decent possibility there may be some early vaccine options by the end of the year, making a limited or conference-only season more likely, which could then give us a couple months to see if an NCAA tourney is an option.

Either way, I love having Smith back in Westwood for another season, in whatever shape it assumes. Go Bruins.
