'10 FL CB Cody Riggs (Notre Dame Transferee)

[jason_h537]

According to Rivals, Riggs doesnt plan on commiting until after next season once he makes all of his official visits. Sorry to dissapoint anyone who thought he might be that next commit we have been hearing about

 

[IrishInFl]

From what I've heard, I would be shocked if Riggs does not commit to ND.

 

[BGIF]

Interesting snippet from Mike Farrell 5/20:

... Cody Riggs reportedly wants to commit to Notre Dame, but longtime Aquinas coach George Smith isn't big on his players making such early decisions and wants his players to see numerous schools before deciding.

I recall a similar comment about the Aquinas coach during Young's (1/19/06 verbal) or Wenger's (12/7/06) recruitment. I also believe Turk commented on his coach's commitment preference but he declared early (6/11/08) anyway.

 

[Clausen2Kamara]

Yea that is an interesting philosophy...I guess he just wants them to be sure and not be one of those recruits who verbals to 3 diff teams...It's understandable.

 

[jason_h537]

I think its a good philosophy. Helps reduce decommitments, and is one that the Irish practice for the most part. Still would be niceto get a commitment though. Hopefully Riggs is in Linder's ear as well.

 

[WabashFalcon]

When I committed to Wabash, I waited until after the football season. I enjoyed finishing my season before going around and making my educated visits. The whole early recruit thing astounds me.

 

[jason_h537]

a rivals premium article has Riggs saying he told both Corwin Brown and Permarlee that they dont have to spend so much effort recruiting him, hes solid. They can focus on other recruits because he isnt going anywhere

 

[GOLDENISTHYTATE]

Man I hope thats true Jason

Good philosophy but the coach's view may not be purely altruistic. I don't think he's big on his players making visits in season as he feels they're disruptive to HIS season. He wants his players time devoted to his team not gallivanting cross-country. Also understandable.

I believe Wenger committed at or just after ND's Banquet. Young was a January visit I think.

Great report but I hope they don't but it.

Ever have a girl friend? A wife?

She may say, "I know you love me. You don't have to buy me presents or flowers or tell me every day to prove it."

Yes, she knows you love her but she wonders if you do as much as you did yesterday.

 

[NDinL.A.]

Well, Riggs finally got the offer he was waiting for, from FL. Now he says he doesn't have a leader, according to Rivals.

But don't lose faith, we're still good here, and he will take his official with us, and he still loves ND. But now it's a 2 horse race with ND and FL. He always said he was going to wait until he took all 5 officials to make a decision, and that remains the same...

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

who is handling his recruitment?

 

[goldandblue]

Coach Brown and Parmalee

 

[IrishAddiction]

Man i dont like it when UM gets in the race. He is one guy who is hand for hand just as good a recruiter as CW, maybe better. Just IMO.

 

[Rizzophil]

How many corner's do the Gators have committed right now???

 

[IrishAddiction]

according to scout, they have 6 DBs committed so far, but only one is listed as a corner, the rest are safetys. rivals has 4 DBs listed, but two others are listed as Athletes.

 

[jason_h537]

I wonder how Urban will play his recruitment? Hopefully Corwin Brown will keep his head straight. Wheres IrishinFL when you need him?

 

[IrishInFl]

Don't worry, I'll give you the scoop Saturday, maybe Friday if I get back from the bar early. I don't how much Gene knows though, because Riggs has shown little interest in FSU. If I'm lucky Michael Langston (flavarsity.com) will be there, but I'm not gonna hold my breath on that.

6/1 Riggs Steps Back

Steve Hare IrishIllustrated.com

When Cody Riggs left South Bend in April after checking out Notre Dame during its annual Blue-Gold Game, the 5-9, 156 CB from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., was clear on where he ranked the Irish. He called Notre Dame his leader. That was before the four-star prospect picked up offers from Georgia and Florida. Now the Irish may be back where they started.

 

[Irishlew]

Riggs stated that because of the Georgia and Florida offers he has no favorite anymore. He said he does plan on visiting ND in the fall on an OV.

 

[OCIrish]

I think he'll end up Irish in the end.

 

[The Polish Irishman]

We win, he is Irish. If we pull the past two years, then.......................

 

[jason_h537]

It appears he is flattered by the attention but he has built a great relationship with Corwin Brown and loves the campus and tradition. Still think he ends up wearing the Gold and Blue

As long as they visit.

He should be flattered. I'm more skeptical than you. This is a prime time challenge for Corwin against the Gators.

 

[jason_h537]

Visited Florida. Said the coaches kept trying to pitch coaching stability. That you cant be sure if the coaches are gonna be there next yearat those "other" schools. Riggs still loves Notre Dame ut Florida does have his ear.

 

[IrishInFl]

UPDATE!!!

I talked to Mike Langston from flavarsity.com at the bar tonight (which is rare to see him there). He talked to Riggs today, and he said that the visit to UF went good. Not great, grand or wonderful, just good. And the recruiting pitch was NOT coaching stability, it was depth, as the best cb on the team has gotten into trouble lately. Also Riggs has an uncle who played for ND, which I did not know at all.

BTW, Lo Wood is not coming to camp, but Spencer Boyd may.

Bobby Brown played for ND '96 - '99 was a split end early and later a FL.

 

[jason_h537]

Riggs said in his rivals article that Urban kepttalking about coaching stability. Either way hope that good meant good and not just him playing it cool.
