    Luke Murray continues to build his first roster at Boston College.

    The Eagles added two more commitments during the weekend..

    On Sunday, 6-foot-8 Fairfield transfer and Newark, N.J. native Brandon Benjamin committed to the ACC school.

    He averaged 14.2 points and 10.4 rebounds as a freshman at Fairfield and now brings his double-double average to a higher level.

    “What made me pick BC first was the coaching staff,” Benjamin told ZAGSBLOG. “It really felt like family.”

    He added: “I will bring my high motor plus rebounding, finishing around the rim and taking guys off the dribble.” He added that he’ll bring “My catch and shooting, pick and pop, my winning impact and my versatility with guarding 1-5 with the ability to block shots.”

    The Eagles on Saturday landed a pledge from Charleston transfer Colby Duggan, a 6-foot-7 junior forward who averaged 9.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists last season. As a sophomore at Campbell, the Monson, Mass. native averaged 15.7 points and 3.3 rebounds and was named first first-team All-CAA.

    That season, he burst onto the scene with 32 points on 11-of-18 shooting and 5-of-9 from deep at North Carolina and scored a career-high 33 on 12-of-18 shooting and 4-of-4 from deep at Delaware.

    “I think playing under coach Murray is super exciting and I’ll bring a lot of versatility in the big wing role,” he told ZAGSBLOG.

    On Thursday, Murray added four new players in one day with Montana transfer Money Williams, Northeastern transfer point guard JB Frankel, Merrimack transfer guard Ernest Shelton and Slovenian guard Zak Smrekar.
