Hagens came into his freshman year at BC as a highly-touted prospect with many analysts predicting him to be taken first overall. His stock slipped a bit over the course of the 2025 campaign as he averaged over a point per game and the Eagles finished as the clear cut #1 team in the nation in pairwise. Despite the slippage, Hagens is still an incredibly talented player and should make a huge impact for Boston whether he chooses to sign with them this summer or sometime in the future.
