Stattrax Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 Maybe we need to start a Lamar recruiting thread!!! Quote
hookem14 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 I know of two PN-G players that were offered college football scholarships just last week, (Other than RJ). Just because it’s not being broadcast all over the place, doesn’t mean it’s not happening! Quote

BMTSoulja1 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 Did a little research. It's obvious that either somwone in the Riggs household or Riggs himself care more about fútbol than football. Indianforever 1 Quote

It's obvious that either somwone in the Riggs household or Riggs himself care more about fútbol than football. Expand Those of us closer to the situation have known that for a while. I have never heard of it slowing down offers though. Many setx athletes are dual sport players and receive attention in both. Riggs led 22-5a in goals scored and was head and shoulders better than the kids in soccer. Regardless of what he chooses, I still think he deserves the acknowledgment Silsbee92, PAT, NDN10' and 3 others 6 Quote

Expand They probably wouldn't play him. For some reason, LU likes to play the out-of town people. Last night, the QB layed a bomb RIGHT IN THE HANDS of the receiver for a sure TD... dropped it. Unacceptable at the college level. That's part of the reason LU can't get butts in the seats. I still believe, that if you played more local kids, you'd get the local $$$. Shiner and NDNation 2 Quote

jake94 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 This reminds me a lot of Colton Kimler several years back. I was scratching my head as to why he had no offers. Nice sized safety, good speed, and and absolute ball hawk that was always in on the play and not afraid to hit you in the mouth... Still swear he would have started in LU’s secondary for sure! Quote

One of the best to come through SETX in awhile. Expand It was a very LATE offer I think. I think he probably got frustrated with the whole process and decided not to play. Ironically, only two D1 colleges offered LU’s Kade Harrington as well, LU and SELA. He finished 2nd two years ago in the Heisman equivalent for FCS. Quote

Undersized with average speed. That does not equate to the next level, as his college days proved. You need size and speed at the next level for production most of the time. I'm not sure if Riggs wants to play the sport after high school. But IMO has more tools than any receiver Fairclothe has had other than Giblin... Expand Wide receivers have been establishing themselves as of late at PNG Quote
biaplayer Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 he would be wasting his time at Lamar, surely someone has looked at him and thinks he deserves a shot one would think!! Quote
CardinalBacker Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 Not everybody wants to play college football. The defenses hit harder, the competition is faster, and if you plan on actually getting a degree the demands placed on your time by participating in sports are a killer. A lot of kids just want to move on. Odds are that the best flute player in the marching band won't bother to try out for a college band. It's foolish to assume that every kid talented enough to play at the next level would be just dying to do so. Razor, AthleticSupporter - Jock and bronco pride 3 Quote

I agree a lot of kids are perfectly fine with being great high school players and then moving on with their life. Pngdefensedad 1 Quote
