Other than that, the sophomore running back who left the Boston College team last week with the intention to transfer, said he wasn’t quite sure what his future plans were.

“You don’t understand how wide open it is right now,’’ said Haden yesterday as he came out of Conte Forum, where he had finished up some paperwork to make his withdrawal complete.

“I want to go to a bigger school with a little more people,’’ he said. “Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with Boston College, but it wasn’t the right school for me. I would never tell anyone not to come here, but it just wasn’t for me. I wasn’t having the time I imagined I would have.’’

Haden came to BC as a high-profile recruit who was going to elevate the Eagles’ running game. He, along with Montel Harris - who also happens to be one of Haden’s best friends - did that. But while Harris developed into the team’s primary running back this season, Haden had problems - on and off the field.

He was bothered by a series of nagging injuries and the feeling of not quite fitting in.

“I loved the BC college football team,’’ he said. “And I didn’t want to leave halfway through the season, but there was just a lot of stress with me and the school and everything.’’

Haden said the feeling of unease had been there for a while.

“It’s been like that since last year,’’ he said. “I talked to my Dad and he said to try and stay in school for another year. But another year came and then I was hurt. I had all kinds of injuries to my pinkie, my wrist, my ankle.’’

It finally came to a head two weeks ago when he went to BC coach Frank Spaziani and told him of his decision to transfer. Spaziani and other BC officials asked Haden to take more time thinking about the decision, but Haden felt he had taken enough. It was time to move on.

“I could go to another school and redshirt a year, and then I would still have two years left,’’ said Haden, whose younger brother Jordan is enrolling at Florida in January.

“My options are open,’’ he said, indicating that he hadn’t ruled out another ACC school, which would require a two-year wait before he could play, or a Football Championship Division school, where he could play immediately.

Haden said he will finish his academic requirements at BC in the next month and then he will be gone, looking for a fresh start at a new school.
