'23 CA WR Rico Flores (UCLA Transfer)

[irishnd31]

Thanks the family...... then Stuckey. Me thinks Rico liked the former WR coach

 

[Lberry]

He's making a mistake for himself. We will be fine.

This is the first one that really hurts.

Poor decision on his end

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Salerno healthy enough to be a starter & get a high snap count for bowl game? I know he’s been eased into the lineup but that’s a big jump assuming he’s still recovering.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Rico was our best (most consistent) WR this year.

And ALSO he is certainly not irreplaceable or a legendary talent/ceiling guy.

I feel most sorry for him. A kid that said he was blessed to be at ND being from a background of friends and family in poverty and prison....and he leaves for this...

 

[#1rish]

What an absolute cluster. I’m not sure if I’ll ever understand wtf went on between Stuckey and 3 WR subsequently transferring.

 

[rtrn2glory]

This is leading me to believe that MF is losing the locker room

 

[IAIrish]

Poor decision on his end

I'd wager he'll have some regret at some point later in life....

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Hopefully the coaching staff is relaying the reasoning to the recruits to ease the shock. All the coaches should be experts at “Whack-a-Mole” by now.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

That was/is my worry but so far it seems confined to one position group.

 

[HouseofPain]

Gotta be something else. People in the program dont just leave because they dont know who the new WR coach is. Wherever they are going they wont know the WR coach either.
If you are at a school just because you like your position coach, you have to be out of your mind anyway. You go to a school like ND for the degree, not some guy you wont speak to the day after you graduate. Plus, position coaches come and go all the time.
CFB is just becoming such a joke.

Woah.......

 

[dublinirish]

Fan anxiety spreading to the beat writers now

 

[rtrn2glory]

With all of this said if we were going to keep any of the freshman wr my vote is great house all day

 

[irishff1014]

JMO sounds like the WR room is taking the fall for Freeman's buddy Parker.

Horka is hardly a beat writer

Going to be odd watching the bowl game and having to print out a roster so that I know who just (or didn't) catch the ball.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Shit I didn't even think about the bowl game lol....I was thinking spring ball the whole time. Yeah this is going to be a definite shit show month

"catastrophic" gtfo

 

[notredomer23]

This is the only one that truly disappoints me as I thought Notre Dame was going to be a holistic, transformative experience for him.

Tyree hurts too, don't kid yourself.

Proven for 2024:
Jayden Thomas
Jaden Greathouse
Jordan Fiason
Deion Colzie
WR1 from portal
WR2 from the portal

Might help in 2024 (in order):
Cam Williams
KK Smith
Micah Gilbert
Possible WR3 from portal

We will be fine, and likely better at WR in 2024.

There's something going on because Rico is the type of player that should NOT even be thinking about transferring out

With that said. I'm 99% sure Rico and his camp think he's better than he actually is.

This is a big loss for the bowl game, potentially not so much for the next 2-3 years

 

[FWIrish4]

Imagine telling someone in 10 years you transferred out of Notre Dame as a football player when you started as a freshman…

I would say Colzie is far from proven, but I get your point. Need to add saldate.

 

[RipWheeler]

Cali WR’s and ND just don’t play well together.

I'm using proven and/or highly experienced. He'll be a 4th year.
