'10 FL CB Cody Riggs (Notre Dame Transferee)

Premium Rivals article has Riggs saying his top two are now Georgia and Florida

Just a month ago, Riggs stated the Notre Dame Fighting Irish definitely lead for his services after having a great visit with their coaching staff and bonding well with Notre Dame assistant coach Corvin Brown. But now that Georgia and Florida are now at the top of his list, did geography have something to do with his new favorites?

"Yes I would say it has because both are in the South and not too far from home. I'm not sure the coaching situation with Notre Dame is also stable, so that's something I need to focus on. I know Notre Dame is going to be one of the official visits I take. That's something I would like to feel comfortable about because I don't want to be in a situation where the coaches leave and your stuck somewhere with a new set of coaches to start with."

Notre Dame fans. Read any ND board.

Anybody's "Coaches Hot Seat" List.

Probably every program competing with ND, subtly or overtly.

Throw in ESPN, Sporting News, Scout, Rivals, Lemming, South Bend Times, Chicago Tribune, and other papers, magazines, and TV sportscasts from coast to coast.

Charlie's own words that he discussed it with his family.

Any recruit that doesn't know that Weis's position is under scrutiny doesn't have the wits necessary to pass ND Admission.

Named a top five on Rivals today
Florida
Georgia
Florida St
Tennessee
Notre Dame

 

[NDinL.A.]

He spoke to ISD today. He will visit for the USC game (yet another important player at that game...it just gets bigger and bigger). He will take all 5 visits before making his decision. His top 5 is the same, but he put them in order:

Georgia
ND
FL
Tenn
FSU

Surprising right? ND has moved ahead of FL, in thanks to the persistance of Corwin Brown, who has emailed Riggs every day, without fail. He also said that Georgia is not that far ahead of ND (but to their credit, they still are in the lead; better than having FL there!!!)

One outlier.

Gotta say, ND should have a much better season than UGA this year. I think ND will wrap this one up

Much better? Phil Steel has ND #7 and UGA #13

 

[notredomer23]

UGA lost their skill players on offense to the draft. Knowshon and Stafford made up the bulk of their offense. They return 15 starters, but until they can prove they can move the ball efectively in the SEC I don't see them winning more than 8 games with their schedule maybe 9.

They have 3 likely losses in OK State, LSU, and Florida, and then Georgia Tech will be a good game, as well as maybe Arizona State and Tenn

This kid won't commit for a long time from now so we can take a breath, focus on O-Line

Arkansas should also give them a tough game. They could lose 7 and stay home at bowl time. With a Senior QB and a solid OLine they could end up in the Chick-Fil-A or Capital One Bowls.

UGA doing poorly could be a plus to a CB like Riggs. ND has a better, deeper CB corps.

On the other hand if he has NFL aspirations, at ND he'd be practicing every day against Clausen, Crist, Tate, Floyd, et al.

Riggs is still Irish IMO. Now Spencer Boyd, Georgia has a real shot to get him.

I hope your right.

 

[jason_h537]

Personally liked Spencer Boyd over Lo Wood so it would suck if he goes UGA. Would quickly forget it if we get Cody Riggs and Joshua Shaw though. it'll be interesting to see how this all turns out.

How many CBs do you see ND taking in this class?

 

[jason_h537]

I still say three, this isn't DT where they would be willing to stack a position of need. I doubt the staff turning away Cody Riggs or Joshua Shaw commiting if the Irish already have three on board, but it would depend on how many guys are commited to the class already.

 

[IrishInFl]

How many scholarships are available?

I could see three if one is a swing man like Shaw or Rodgers that have the body to grow into a Safety. I don't see a third 5-9, 5-10 CB in the same class.

 

[jason_h537]

i think they are willing to take around 25 guys this year, which is a full class.

 

[BGIF]

How many scholarships are available?

ND could take a full 25 depending on how many 5th year players are brought back. Losses to injury, academics, or ResLife, or transfers obviously won't be known until the end of the Fall semester.

Wood is supposed to be an EE (Early Entrance) and there could be others. There is space in the previous class to accomodate EEs so the number could rise above 25 if CW desires, and the talent warrants it.

Aquinas’ Riggs Narrowing His Choices | Gridironstuds.com Blog

7/11 Article, I didn't see a byline.

Georgia is the leader. I got along with their entire coach staff, especially Coach Martinez and Coach Richt.

He likes the coaching staff, campus, and the program's direction. UF's campus and facilities impressed him more but ...

Georgia is redoing their weight room and everything was brand new. They are doing a lot of good things at Georgia.

Riggs notes practicing against two former teammates WRs Duron Carter and Dwayne Difton "helped mold him into the cornerback he is today."

IF he comes to ND he can practice against America's best receiver's to help mold him into all the cornerback he can be.

 

[IrishInFl]

I still think we end up getting Riggs. He has been wanting to commit for months now, as his coach does not want his players to commit before the season for some reason, including Lamarcus Joyner, who is a silent verbal to FSU.

 

[DirtySecret]

I do agree here.. Depending on how Jimmy does this year Tate and Floyd will have s great year(pray they don't get injuried). While we have Evans and Walker with Toma ect.. coming in..

 

[IrishInFl]

We also have one of the best TE core in the country, so that's some extra receiving power.

 

[NDinL.A.]

Might be some good news with him. CB Nickell Roby committed to Georgia, giving them another DB recruit. It's unclear whether or not Georgia will take another DB, but with both FL's and Georgia's secondaries getting full quickly, it will be interesting to see if they will leave room for a talent like Riggs, even if they are already full. My guess is that they would leave a spot open, but you never know, especially with Urban Liar...

Could be an influencing factor.

 

[Rizzophil]

I wonder if Riggs will think the same thing with us if we take J Shaw before Riggs' decides on his destination...
