'23 CA WR Rico Flores (UCLA Transfer)

[MrNimbus]

Putting it my calander to ask Rico about that award 3 years from now…

He was good, but man his effort was atrocious at times. Fight for the ball every play. Same with Merriweather, focus and drive just wasn't there at times. Wish them both the best, but they left a bad taste in my mouth in regards to consistent effort. I'd rather have 2 more Faisons.

Fuck him. Wish him nothing but wet farts and tax audits.

Tbf he was made play an insane amount of snaps he did well to even make it through the season. Seemed like a good kid with self awareness don’t know how anybody could say bad thing about him

Honestly, I can get behind this sentiment as well. Just don't come here if you want it easy. But they are young, and I was a complete retard at their age. I'd hate for people to judge me now based on what I was like then. But yeah, I was a piece of shit.

to be fair...even when he committed...i thought he looked like a massive douche. All i thought was, dude looks like a pimp

 

[MacIrish75]

Some of this revisionist history is weird. This dude was the difference between us being an 8 win vs a 10 win team. Sure he xferred, but he was our only reliable outside option for a decent part of the season.

I hope he gets what he was looking for and doesn’t have any regrets.

i think he was decent...but i did think he looked like a pimp from day one.

Allen Pinkett told me that was needed…

So untrue. We only won one close game and that was at Duke. He was awful in that game, I mean awful. Way too much was put on his plate for what he could do but it is what it is. He had one catch for yards at the end of the game because his defender slipped and fell down, that was it with multiple drops and couldn’t get open to save his life. Our record is the same with or without him last year.

I take that back, if he wasn’t on the roster nd would have been forced to play faison, and I say we win one more game if faison had played from game 1.

Hate for people to judge me too but I wasn’t a professional paid employee with a monetized brand to protect on social media used to shit on the school who took a chance on a borderline talent/student that at no point belonged here and managed to smoke down his position coaches career as well

Disagree, but then again, for you to be complimentary of an ND player on the offensive side of the ball would be off brand.

OT but I rewatched the Duke game recently and I was amazed at how Merriweather immediately jumped off the screen in a bad way. Dropped a dime from Hartman for a walk-in TD in the first series. The almost lost us the game by getting flagged for an offensive pass interference on the game winning drive and putting us way behind the sticks. Just a terrible showing from him.

Watching that once was enough for me.

It was a win and I got to remind myself of what Riley Leonard looks like playing. But you're right that I'm sick

Like How I just complimented faison in the same post?

 

[Kingbish01]

ND OC did pretty good with Nabors and Thomas Jr. Didn't they have like 3000 yards and 30 TDs combined? Rico might have played himself by not sticking it out.

 

[FU BK]

When Flores bolted after the season, he told the coaching staff that he wanted to win the Biletnikoff Award and saw no shot of that in Notre Dame’s offense."

Can't say I blame him....Porkeys offense was absolute dog shit

 

[NDFAN2008]

100 yards today

 

[TheRealLynch51]

100 yards today

But zero heart. Bet he wishes he could have been with these boys tonight

 

[ulukinatme]

100 yards today

Against Hawaii? Meh. A 16-13 win for the Bruins, that's not a great sign.

 

[Irish2155]

Who doesn’t get 100 against Hawaii? Can he surf?

 

[Rambler09]

After watching how the balls got spread around in our opener, he may be happy to be somewhere he got 100.

 

[Irish Man3]

Him leaving for an attempt to win an individual award over the real chance of a National Championship tells me everything I need to know. Don’t let the door hit that ass

 

[IRISHDODGER]

They had to win it in walk off fashion w/ a FG. A win is a win & there’s plenty of time to get better but…

Once the o-line gels, this offense is going to be explosive, but you're right. He'd never get 100 here with the depth.

Spoiler: offense has not yet gelled.



Great choice, Rico. Enjoy UCLA.

I think he made a mistake too but to be fair he probably wouldn't be seeing the field much at ND this year, given the talent upgrade at WR.

OK that piqued my curiosity.

Rico has 12 catches, third on UCLA among WRs. That would actually be good for third on our team too, but we look to have a deeper WR rotation.
Tobias Merriweather appears to still be hurt all the time and hasn't caught a ball all season for Cal.
Braylon James has one catch for three yards.

I don't think we're missing much from that crew.

I bet the Cal beat is getting a lot more info now that Tobias is there.

There's a Cal beat?
