[Irishlew]

same HS as Sam Young, Dan Wenger, Ben Turk , Jordan Cowart, and 2010 offered prospect Brandon Linder. He received an offer yesterday.

He is also good friends with Armando Allen, Riggs' step dad coached Armando in track.

At least we can truely believe we have a shot to pull a player from Flordia's mits. The Davieham era would just have written him off immediately.

 

[irishmarine]

and now we all have faith that anything is possible.

 

[GOLDENISTHYTATE]

I think Riggs is an absolute possibility. Lamarcus Joyner will be the much harder pull in my opinion, but it seems that Weis has established a pipeline to St. Thomas Aquinas which can do nothing but pay dividends considering it is a national powerhouse.

its possible but its gonna be tough is all im saying

Well, the guys that run a Florida State website (tomahawknation.com) say we are FSU's main competition, with ND actually being in the lead...

I know the owner of warchant.com. I'll ask him what he knows about this. Although he always gives me crap about being a ND fan...

 

[brownkj002]

He is also the nephew of former ND player Bobby Brown.

I hope that helps...

Well if ND is that kid's prerogative... haha

Looks like you have a little ammo to shoot back his way right now. Probably tough to be a FSU fan these days. Just glad my home state UK Wildcats beat em in that bowl game, even though we would have been given that win this week anyway.

 

[Irishlew]

his HL video has been added...this kid is a stud.

I know, and I want to make fun of FSU, but then say that ND has not done that much lately either. The best part of knowing the guy is that I get to hangout with the FSU cowgirls

Umm, that might be worth biting your tongue when it comes to FSU. Call a guy disloyal if you will, but a wise man knows when to pick his battles.

 

[NDinL.A.]

Here's a video on him from Rivals. He talks about coming to ND for the spring game, and how he camped here last summer. Also said we were the first to offer him, and that's one of the big reasons he's coming out for the game. It's nice to be mentioned, but he also talks about FSU and other schools. We're in the mix, but he's going to be a tough pull IMO.

But dude has some serious cover skills...

 

[NDinL.A.]

Had a fantastic visit and has ND as his early leader. But he's going to Ohio St's spring game this weekend, and is also high on FL and Wake Forest, among others. Won't commit until fall at earliest...

 

[NDinL.A.]

Very good news with him:

1) He wasn't even ranked in the initial Rivals 250, and now in the latest Rivals 100, he's all the way up to being ranked #43. Kid's a stud all of a sudden (LOL).

2) Rivals still has him as saying that ND is his leader right now, even after his other unofficials. He also says he plans on taking all of his officials before making his decision.

3) Has ND as 'High" on his list, while every other school is at 'Medium". Doesn't mean he's ours by any means, but it is still nice to be the leader at this point. If we win ball games, we'll be that much closer to getting him...

 

[GOLDENISTHYTATE]

Yeah I saw his sudden rise on the Rivals list. Come on Cody, keep that pipeline going!

 

[jason_h537]

This might be only the second time i have seen a Notre Dame lean or commit rise in Rivals rankings.

 

[IrishInFl]

Dude, he's going to ND! Mike from flavarsity.com guaranteed me this. He almost committed at the spring game, but decided to take other visits.

 

[jason_h537]

he better be... cuz im holdin you accountable

 

[IrishInFl]

he better be... cuz im holdin you accountable

Even though I am confident that we will get Riggs, you still never know. It would have been better if he committed at the spring game, like he was expected to. I also think ND has a great shot at getting his fellow STAQ teammate Linder. Unfortunately Joyner looks out of our reach

 

[jason_h537]

If both Riggs and Linder commit, nextrounds on me guys

 

[WabashFalcon]

Jack Daniels, Double. Plez.

 

[GOLDENISTHYTATE]

Yeah just tell me where to show up for this round and I will be there

 

[jason_h537]

Easy guys lets get him to commit first

 

[IrishInFl]

Corner Pocket. Tallahassee. Drinks on me.
