'10 FL CB Cody Riggs (Notre Dame Transferee)

[Pa Golden Tate Fan]

Well wouldn't everyone seeing how Riggs has 1 year to play and Alexander has 4?

Yes.

 

[GBdomer]

Could be decided tonight

 

[dshans]

... Long Term Defiantly Alexander.

No reason for defiance. A simple definitive would suffice.



Go ahead. Beat me about the head and shoulders. I may well deserve it.



I blame all the banter in the IE 2013 awards that's going on.



I apologize.

Riggs vs. Alexander's a silly argument. We didn't get Alexander. That meant we could take Riggs. It wasn't either/or and we're damn lucky to get him. He can contribute right away instead of maybe down the road. He can help make our younger guys better. And we have another schollie for our small class next year.

Good point. Making Lemon-aide out of lemons. Might open a door for graduate transfers, the smart guy, with the smart school's answer to JUCO.

With the schedule we have and the experience of Riggs, I would take him over Alexander. Especially with how the injury bug has bit us lately. Riggs has played against FSU three times correct? Nice to have someone with his skill and experience available for a very tough schedule to help us try and qualify for the first ever playoffs. But I agree it's a stupid argument because we didn't pick one over the other.

 

[Ironman8]

Loy is hearing it should be announced tomorrow morning.

Great, great news for us. Big addition to the '14 team.

 

[rtrn2glory]

hell yes!!

 

[Luckylucci]

Very excited about this.

 

[Domina Nostra]

Awesome. This is a big addition. The kid is not coming to sit on the bench.

 

[BMT]

For anyone not on board for taking this guy-this is a great pick up. Even if he did not start, sure as the sun will come up-somebody will get injured,kicked out for targeting-academic difficulty-etc.etc. We finally have depth to compete, something Weiss teams never had. The more depth the better. See defensive line this year, see linebacker this year.

 

[koonja]

Who is it that doesn't like the staff taking Riggs?

I keep seeing that, but I haven't seen anyone not excited about this.

Go far enough back in the thread and you'll see them. People saying "he missed his chance" and other nonsense.

That's silly. This is zero risk, reward TBD.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Are you Keith Arnold?

I don't always post, but when I do, it's as Keith Arnold. Post thirsty my friends.

 

[DillonHall]

That's silly. This is zero risk, reward TBD.

Exactly, I don't know about the upside, but there's literally no risk involved.

 

[peoriairish]

Exactly, I don't know about the upside, but there's literally no risk involved.

That's what the Bears thought when they snagged Sam Hurd.....

 

[dublinirish]

1 year of Riggs. Because he is a proven starter on one of the best secondaries in the country. Alexander is a riskier pick. If he doesn't start, it means that Luke is very talented. Its at worst guaranteed depth for a one year stop gap.

Not to mention he opens up doors for other 5th year transfers for ND and he can hit like this:

Yes this is the key, once Riggs commits ND needs to make a big deal out of it and get the message out there that kids have a choice to play their 5th year at a great program and get a world class postgraduate degree

 

[dublinirish]

he's onboard
