'23 CA WR Rico Flores (UCLA Transfer => UVA Transfer)

[NewBrunswickIrish]

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.

They’re bringing in 3 recruits already: Cam Williams, Micah Gilbert and Logan Saldate.

Wasn’t the plan to take two transfer wideouts? Maybe they take 3 now.

It will get figured out. This is the new normal, unfortunately.

This shit better be a 30 for 30 one day.

 

[MacIrish75]

I haven’t seen this much angst since the last time I watched the Maury show.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Well, we don't actually know who's to blame.

Right.

True, and 2 of them are better right now. Cam with 2 TDs at A&M will make us all forget about Uncle Rico and friends.

Yes, sorry I forgot about Saldate.

Think even with that you could add 2 more, FR or transfers. Transfer might be the safer bet for longevity.

This is hilarious.

So Stuckey wins the kissing match?

Yeah, I hope there will be at least one depth wideout picked up in addition to two guys who actually play. Maybe a Freddie Canteen type who is fine with not playing.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

This is hilarious.

Only thing funnier is the reaction.

Let’s get something straight here….

Stuckey wasn’t a good WR coach.

Players leaving isn’t all because Stuckey left.
Tyree & Tobias didn’t like him. But they are still leaving.
James is the only one leaving specifically because of Stuckey.

I’ve heard it all over that Stuckey straight up couldn’t coach. It was a huge problem.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

During the season "Our receivers are garbage"
Post season "we are doomed cause all of receivers are leaving"

And I will share with you a fun text I received earlier from a friend of mine that is a power 5 coach and knows some of our coaching staff
and I quote "You're wide receiver room is terrible and needs an overhaul. If you guys can pick up a couple of transfers, you will be better in the long run"

And Flores? Seems like this is directly Stuckey related from everything I'm reading

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

He's already fucked. It's not like ND can pull WR transfers out of their ass. They're limited on who they can take, this will have ramifications for years to come. Freeman is screwed.

No clue on Flores.
Stuckey obviously recruited him, and coached him this year, but I’ve heard conflicting stories with Flores.

So what's the deal with the transfer rules? Do no credits transfer over from like IU? Why can't guys transfer in but lose some credits? I don't understand why good standing from a Big 10 school for instance wouldn't be transferable for football.

 

[OhioIrish]

Not that concerned. If Rico news is true (and seems like a big if), not a single WR who has left was elite, or even very good. Each is replaceable by an equivalent player in the portal. This is CFB in 2023, just roll the punches!

From my understanding its because Notre Dame hangs out to the thinking that they expect players to be able to graduate on the standard timeline. You can't allow players to transfer in who won't be able to make up the credits. They refuse to cheapen the degree for football players

Big state schools have a lot of optional filler type classes that ND does not. If guys are taking yoga and personal finance just to get by then it's an issue.

So at what point do we not let Faison play lax lol..

After he caught his first touchdown

Trading youth for a transfer graduate doesn't solve anything. We're going to have big holes in the coming years, and ND is very strict on transfers even if someone is available. This event will have lasting issues, especially in two years when these players would have been upperclassmen.

Maybe he’s only 18 months old…got that Benjamin Button shit or something.

Even if they were just average you need depth with experience. I am not going to say this is a sinking ship but we sure are taking on some water.

Watch him transfer if he can't play lax lmao
