Oh Cody x2.. (35:40 mark)

Now i understand why he wants to play CB..

 

[BeauBenken]

He's 5'8" and under 190 pounds...Hell yea, he should be playing corner.

 

[ulukinatme]

Couple real ugly plays for him there, although you can expect an undersized safety to get trucked by a big back.

Either way, he would be a welcome addition, even if he doesn't end up being better than Luke at #2 CB. If he helps us get to 85, that sounds good to me.

I love going back through some of these old recruiting threads sometimes and see perceptions and projections from 4-5 years ago. "He's solid, he's Irish" "Didn't look as good as Lo Wood" etc etc. Yeah, no one can say for sure, just funny how things pan out. If he does end up here, it's just 4 years late.

 

[DillonHall]

Riggs wants to come to ND now that he realizes he doesn't have much of a future in football?

Funny how people mature and appreciate the importance of education

 

[tko]

Takes some longer than others. I support this revelation, provided he comes to ND and contributes!

Bob Sanders was 5'8" and one of if not the best safeties in the league for 5 years.

sure they're few and far between, but dudes can play safety at cody's size

 

[NDdomer2]

1) bob Sanders wasnt under 190
2) he also was injured half his career

 

[rtrn2glory]

what does him being injured have to do with him being the best safety in the league which is a fact.

and the weight argument doesn't work for me...i'm from small town ohio where we have offensive linemen weighing under 160 ibs that are tougher than snot so not weighing very enough is a foregone conclusion in the world of athletics.

I agree he was a great safety, but his size helped lead to injuries which shortened his career.

agree with that....that's the only disadvantage size gives outside of jump balls and disengaging from blocks.

I loved Bob "The Hitman" Sanders, but he was hurt all the time because of his size. He played with reckless abandon and while we Colt fans loved seeing that, we also cringed every time he took off like a missile. He was a difference maker when he was healthy and deserved DPOY the year he won it, but that was the only year he wasn't hurt. I believe Bob was listed at 210lbs.

 

[Cackalacky]

If this happens it is a real really good thing for the program. Psyched.

i totally get where you guys are coming from in regards to him being hurt...i agree, but the dude was the best in the game despite his size, that's what i'm trying to say

You don't have to tell me how good Bob was. I'm from Indiana.

1) bob Sanders wasnt under 190

Bam.

When college weight rooms are involved it matters. Let's see those 150 pound linemen pan out at the college level. I know you're smart enough to know that they are going to get their asses handled.

agree with that....that's the only disadvantage size gives outside of jump balls and disengaging from blocks.

No. It's really not. Breaking out the physics...

F = ma

Newton's second law of motion. Force = mass x acceleration.

The bigger you are and the faster you're going, the more force you bring to the table.

 

[rtrn2glory]

You're vastly underestimating the X factor and intangibles that many of these guys have.

hell yes i'll take a 6'2" 225 pound safety with speed and athleticism 10/10 times...but every once in awhile there's a guy that makes me think twice. bob was one of those guys and there will probably be another one

 

[rtrn2glory]

Bam.

and thanks for the breakdown lol...been awhile since 7th grade science

 

[Irishnuke]

Bob Sanders was the exception. Let's also not pretend that this kid is Bob f'ing Sanders.

Cody Riggs come to Notre Dame work hard in the classroom and on the field. Show everyone you are willing to work hard and that you want to succeed. Make contacts that will help you to be a success for the rest of your life because you have shown these contacts that you are willing to work hard and that you want to succeed.

This is a no brainer. Injuries are not predictable. Linebacker Danny Spond's career ends and Jarett Grace suffers awful leg injury. Welcome Joe Schmidt - preferred walk-on - you stepped up big time.

If I were a football coach of the secondary at Notre Dame I would be thinking Cody please, please, puleez come. I will sleep better at night. Your being here will make us a better football team and will help us deal effectively with all issues that may come about including but not limited to injuries, academic problems, pregnant girl friends, and health issues etc, etc, etc..

This would be a fantastic way to wrap up recruiting. Whether Cody comes to Notre Dame or not, congrats to Father Jenkins and the university administration for not fiddling and diddling around and moving swiftly to try to get this done.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Will be in town tomorrow and in my opinion will be over very shortly

all good, I should have stated it was from II

So it wasn't really your opinion then, but rather an update? Ok, just checking (and busting your balls).

Umm.....when you're not on the field, you're not much help to your team.....are you????

 

[dublinirish]

once twice in his career did play over 6 games in a season, that says it all

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Every player gets trucked and has plays like those on film. Its football lol.

As far as his size, not exactly ideal or safety, but the fact he started games as a freshman at Florida, Id say hes a pretty damn good player.

In a nut shell: Won't be here this week, but don't worry. Flights couldn't get done. They are trying again next week.
