'10 FL CB Cody Riggs (Notre Dame Transferee)

[CanadalovesND]

What are the estimated timelines associated with this ? Basically, when does he actually have to decide and such ?

Well, he won't be enrolling at any school before spring practice, but it's good to know where he'll be going so he can watch spring practices with the permission of the school's coaching staff. He would also be allowed to talk with said coaches, as he would have already been released, by Florida, and accepted into his school of choice

So, for his sake, the sooner the better.

Riggs could also be a valuable recruiting tool, living proof of the value of an ND education vs an SEC education.

Academics aside, let's say he comes here and loves everything about ND. We recruit the hell out of Florida, imagine him being a host to all Florida kids for visits, not to mention those considering the Gators.

I'm getting more excited about this guy the more I think about it. Hope it all works out.

I'm more excited than NSD as this would be a Notre Dame precedent setter and would require cooperation between AD, Admissions, and Administration to make this happen in a short period of time.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Have you ever been first?

Yesterday you wanted to hit the ESPN Tennessee reporter. Now you don't want seconds?

Who are you kidding? You'd hit Monica and Hillary in a three way.

Lol now that is funny! reps.

BTW guys don't get all bent out of shape I'm just messing around.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Serious question. If Riggs does join the team, could this allow one of the younger players who didn't red shirt because of need in previous years red shirt this upcoming season?

For example Shumate, Butler or Luke? Or are they to talented to be kept off the field?

Didn't we do this with a formerly Wake Forest punter this past season?

Renting a player for a year doesn't thrill me. If he does make the move he will provide depth and competition.

I'd think Butler would be the only CB that it would really be even plausible with. Another guy would be moving Prosise back to Safety, and having him RS this season to get re-acclimated.

Maybe ... we tried to do that with Kona in 2011. But those guys you mentioned are all serious contributors. I don't think we'd want to shut any of them down.

Honestly, what I think getting Riggs would allow us to do is something I know you'll love, Sherm. Use Kinlaw on offense and special teams. If we have a good 2015 CB class I could see that being a permanent switch. He's the punt returner/slot WR we didn't get in the 2014 class.

Prosise did redshirt though.

Prosise did red shirt his freshman year so the would be out.

I actually really like Prosise at WR/slot. He made some nice plays during the bowl game. Since I was at the bowl game and could see the whole field; Prosise was open throughout the whole after noon, but Tommy rarely looked his way. i'm not sure if Tommy missed him or CJ was a later option, or Tommy didn't trust CJ. But, Prosise was wide open so msany times down the seem.

Ah yeah your right. Oh well.

Yes I would. I think Kinlaw would be perfect as a Riddick/Carlisle type player. Line him up in the back field, the slot, run jet sweeps with him. My only concern is the team is so loaded at that position right now: Carlisle, Prosise, Hunter jr, maybe Onwaulu, add in Folston and Bryant. Damn that's nasty right there.

I really would love to see Kinlaw on KR&PR.

Renting a player for a year doesn't thrill me. If he does make the move he will provide depth and competition.

Right now the options are:

1. Getting Riggs (or someone like Riggs)
2. Keeping open scholarship
3. Giving a walkon a scholarship.

Personally the choice for me is easy. Get a guy who doesn't mess with #s in the future, with lots of starting experience and experience playing multiple positions.

 

[palinurus]

Okay, I say we take him this time. But if he snubs us again, I'm finished with him.

 

[Irish#1]

He was most of the time but when he got annoyed he went postal.

High maintenance settling frequent pissing contests with other posters and targeting mods ... repeatedly. Like several (many?) others, he got repeated counseling, then warnings from several mods, then he was terminated.

I think he's still on my Friends List along with one or two other guys that wore out their welcome.

Sounds like IrishPat! Did they ever get into it? lol


I'm not familiar with Riggs. I'm assuming he's pretty good since BK is looking into this?

I'm a little behind in this thread but TJ posted that this isn't a football decision. If it was he'd be staying in Florida. So potential playing time isn't the sell here. There is interest both ways but we're not trying to sell him a starting spot or something like. Since hearing that it's a no-brainer, IMO. He at worst is a mentor to younger CB's.

And a bridge to 2015's more experienced juniors.

 

[ryno 24]

He could definitely compete at the slot nickel. So I would be very happy. I like Russell and Luke next year at the corner's. I am real high on the Luke.

[IrishHokie22]

I'd love to see us bring this guy in. He has starting experience with a good SEC defense. I've never watched him closely, but I imagine he'd be a massive upgrade to Farley at safety or he could probably push Luke/Watkins at CB.

And it doesn't hurt our scholarship total beyond this season. Not to throw any guys under the bus, but a guy like Riggs would be much more useful to us in 2014 than someone like Massa or Utopo, IMO.

 

[Luckylucci]

NVM, already stated.

beautiful! i like this a lot!!!

 

[EuropeanDomer]

Florida fans are saying that he is lying and using a BS excuse. Anyway, do want!

Yes, I thought so.

TJ said that a decision during the month is likely.

FIFY

 

[Irishman77]

I say we take Poole instead.

 

[NDPhilly]

I bet he starts somewhere if he comes here. Kid has started 25 games in the last few years for one of the best secondary's in the country. He isn't going to be a backup to our mediocre safetys.
