'23 CA WR Rico Flores (UCLA Transfer)

[Lberry]

MF needed to hire a WR coach yesterday. This isn't that hard (it's not OC/DC), the salaries aren't high, and there aren't many out there with ties who are good.

Highly doubt some of this isn't slowed or even stopped if we have someone the kids can freaking talk to.

 

[Luckylucci]

Rico was a guy specifically cited as having bought in to ND. This would be pretty fucking bad.

Also, pretty definitive proof that if they fired Stuckey to appease guys in the room then they made a very bad decision.

Which wouldn't be all the surprising.

Or, which also wouldn't be that surprising, that narrative is total BS. Both are a sad state affairs though for different reasons.

 

[Henges24]

So with probably 4 WRs out & two coming in, already crunched on numbers, that means ND needs to bring in at least 1 more recruit and 2 transfers, maybe 3.

 

[Irishjig78]

Why in the HELL did we fire Stuckey? This is the dumbest shit I have seen. Freeman has royally screwed up!

 

[NDPhilly]

Everyone except Tyree sticks around without the autotransfer rule. Kids are going to get homesick at ND. We recruit nationally.

WR room must have been an absolute shit show during the season.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Where the hell is Flores going to go and get early PT like he did here? It won't be USC or Oregon. Uncertain about Washington's skill rooms.

 

[PigtownIrish]

Freeman's staff decisions on O are as bad as his in game coaching decisions.

 

[pumpdog20]

Ok, now this is bad

 

[NDMatt91]

Freeman's staff decisions on O are as bad as his in game coaching decisions.

Sticking with Porker could very well determine Freeman's fate at ND over the next few seasons.

It’s like selling your stock that you’re up on, just to buy a chaser to become a bag holder.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

This is getting as bad as my Detroit Pistons

They're pro basketball players bound by contracts.

Few seasons? I think MF better make the 12 team playoff next year or it’s time to go.

 

[PutuporShutup]

Sticking with Porker could very well determine Freeman's fate at ND over the next few Days/Weeks/Months (if he makes it that far).

fixed it for you

It feels like it already has. He wasted good talent this year and is in the process of running off more. If Stuckey "lost the room" and couldn't come back from that how is MF going to come back from also losing the room?

 

[GrangerIrish24]

Im enjoying all of this.

 

[lcaps20]

This is a disaster

Or the next ONE season.

I enjoy the levity you and others bring to these situations.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Let's just let the players hire assistant coaches so both groups can end up leaving anyway.

Sorry, but the toothpaste is out of the tube. Dudes are going to play five years of college ball at 5 different schools, and it's Freeman and Parker's fault? The portal needs some kind of parameters.

Can we maybe direct the frustration where it should actually go?

I can’t get mad at things I have no control over. Plus, I’m getting Hacienda for dinner.

If the WR room was this bad, maybe we should give Parker one more year....And I was calling for his head after not being able to close out the OSU game.

Curious........ Is there a team right now that has their $hit together that is having an exodus of pretty important players at a key position?

My point, i don't think freeman has his $hit together, so we're in the group of teams that are losing players expected to contribute due to issues with the team. It's not like these are the players we want to leave to hit our numbers like (payne, Lewis, henderson, barnes, tucker, ford, sherwood,junior, baker, kristofic, carmody)

 

[ab2cmiller]

If Rico leaves, I can only have one reasonable assumption. Most of the WR group must believe that Freeman screwed over Chansi.

I'm enjoying watching grown men melting down over the whims of barely adults. This shit is hilarious. lol

Well, we don't actually know who's to blame. All we know is that Chansi inherited a shitty room, and by all means seemed to at least righted it to a pretty good level.
Then out of the blue, he gets fired.

And if that's the case, and he did screw over Chansi for Parker....Then good, what a nice lesson to learn early in your HC career.

 

[Free Manera]

I was always a proponent of running the tush push every play anyway.

He is probably still part of the problem.
