'10 FL CB Cody Riggs (Notre Dame Transferee)

[jason_h537]

Not a big deal. Saw him play live. He stinks.

You said he was ours!!!!!!

 

[IrishInFl]

Hey, at the time I said that, things were looking good with Riggs. Then this season happened. We should be glad. I like the guys we got at db so far, especially Lo Wood. He was good when I went to his game. I was right with Luc and Joyner though.

 

[IHateMarkMay]

It's all good IrishInFl. I appreciate the info you leak out to us normal folk.

 

[WabashFalcon]

Any legs to the rumor that Hurd's bolted to Texas A&M?

 

[jason_h537]

Hurd is going to visit A&M

 

[NDinL.A.]

According to the FL boards, he de-committed already from FL. Remember, he was always about coaching continuity, and ironically it was Urban Liar who put the doubt of the Irish staff in his ear.

Now, I still don't think he'll choose ND b/c he kinda soured on us awhile ago, but you never know. I'd say OSU and Georgia have the best shot at him, then ND...

 

[JefMaj]

Urbey's staff has been with him since Bowling Green.... Even if it's Mullen to replace him... he has new guys of his own... anyone else won't know the Meyer staff as they have been on Urbey's staff for 10 years... that staff will be decimated... we may grab one (just a wild ass guess) ... their strength coach was a plum that I thnk had ND ties, however, Kelly is bringing his from Cincy.... for a 2010 recruit - Florida is a pig in a poke.

Riggs said he was still committed right now and was hoping they sign someone from in the program or a big name.

 

[JefMaj]

We've seen how recruiting from within goes.... Vegas odds on success....

 

[JefMaj]

Come on Cody.... Fla loses it's Def. Coordinator.... it's DB coach... a HC's mind/nerve.... look around.... could be a long four years to rebuild...

 

[bert2834]

He definitely needs to rethink his commitment to the University of Florida after everything that has happened the last few weeks!

 

[WabashFalcon]

But WAIT!!! Urban's "leave of absence" is going to last justtttttttt long enough before he comes back to coach football games.


Interesting, huh?

 

[Ironman8]

It has been posted elsewhere, but keep an eye on Cody. He has graduated from Florida and is looking to transfer somewhere for this upcoming season and play right away.

As Cody cites herehttp://college-football.si.com/2014/02/06/cody-riggs-florida-transfer/ , academics and getting an MBA at a prestigious business program is his main motivation for transfer. ND was thought to be the favorite for him before he decided on Florida, so it could be a fit.

ISD hints in their Intel this morning that ND is all over it, and we could be a possibly landing spot. Stay tuned.

 

[Buster Bluth]

I was just about to ask what the chances of a transfer were with all of these open scholarships.

 

[Rhode Irish]

Why did Irishlew get banned? Seems like a reasonable dude.

 

[RDU Irish]

First comment in the article "In spirit and theory, this is what college football should be about."

Yeah, sounds like a good kid (wtf did he pick an SEC school for in the first place) and our MBA program + football should be a no brainer.

 

[Cackalacky]

So if he does come in, would he transfer in as a grad student? He would be a 5th year scholarship player correct?

I am sorry if I missed it...how many open do we have? (or could someone at least point me to where I could see? Please and thank you)

Cody Riggs says reason for leaving Florida was academics, not football | Campus Union - SI.com

I had to copy and paste from above, here is a working link. Wherever he goes, I wish him well. Sounds like he has his head screwed on straight.

 

[ResLife Hero]

No idea if this messes with the scholarship totals, but I love this idea. Gives us a potential starting-caliber guy in 2014 without shrinking the 2015 class. With Mendoza's MBA program on an upward trajectory, I wonder if we could see more of these situations in the future if we continue to miss 85.

 

[Buster Bluth]

He started 2013 at safety, but probably wants to be a CB. What would he be at ND? FS, SS, CB?

 

[connor_in]

Read the article...WOW, I am impressed by his reasons for doing this. ND does seem like it would be a great place for him for both the business school aspects as well as the networking aspects. Especially with where his focus is at, imagine having Swarbrick in your contact list and his assorted contacts (even before he came to ND).

 

[zelezo vlk]

This kid would get an MBA? I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but should they allow him in? I've always read that good B schools want work experience. I'm sure it could be worked around if he shows the aptitude. Regardless of whether he could transfer here or not, if he wants an MBA from Notre Dame, I wish him the best of luck and hope that he would represent that program as best as he could.

 

[Old Man Mike]

The only mild disconnect here is that he could solve our safety leadership problem next to Redfield, but doesn't want to play it. At corner he'd doubtless be fine, but with Russell established and Luke looking likely to be good, our need seems not as great there.

Still, he'd be VERY welcome either way.

 

[BGIF]

Why did Irishlew get banned? Seems like a reasonable dude.

He was most of the time but when he got annoyed he went postal.

High maintenance settling frequent pissing contests with other posters and targeting mods ... repeatedly. Like several (many?) others, he got repeated counseling, then warnings from several mods, then he was terminated.

I think he's still on my Friends List along with one or two other guys that wore out their welcome.

It's not always that cut and dry. Notre Dame actually allows a small number of undergraduates to jump right into the MBA program. One of my professors tried to talk me into doing it, but my adviser said I'd be better served in the long run getting 3-5 years under my belt and coming back since it would allow for better networking in addition to the classwork. I do know 2 classmates who made the jump directly though.

 

[RDU Irish]

MBA is two year program isn't it? I don't see how NFL caliber guys can jump in like this. Undrafted guys I can appreciate the jumpstart on a program. However, I don't see why we would take any less than NFL talent in a 5th year.

As a top tier MBA grad, I would rather see people get 4-5 years of real work experience before going after an MBA. At University of Chicago, you would be hard pressed to even be considered right out of college. In the classroom, real life experience added much more to the discussion than any freshly minted undergrad. With top tier MBAs, that mix of experience is what truly differentiates a good program and a great program. Often you have professors deferring to students on various topics. Otherwise you just have a bunch of kids kicking around theory.

Okay. I'm fine with it then. I didn't mean to sound like a dick (it's still early here, I'm working on it) but I had read that the best schools (which Mendoza's trying to be) do not allow people in without work experience. If the precedent has been set though, by all means, let's bring him in.

 

[RDU Irish]

Full time MBAs would take the night and weekend courses all the time just to network with people with actual jobs. UofC put all three programs on the same classes, same grading scale so you had a few options to sit in on the same class if you wanted. Full timers were almost always noticeably younger and less experienced and obviously job fishing (their full time job is essentially lining up internships/jobs). Evening and Weekend had executives flying from literally all over the country, much richer conversations on weekends than evenings and daytime classes by a long shot IMO.

Full time makes tons of sense if you are going for a full career change, Evening or Weekend for enhancing your current career track. Obviously less expensive to stay employed and earn money while taking an extra half a year to complete than going back into full student mode.

Kill that GMAT Cody!
