hookem14 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they did put the info out for all to see and know, but it just went under the radar. Hughes and Hebert. Both well deserving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMTSoulja1 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 biaplayer, Silsbee92, hookem14 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 $$$.

I think Crosby or PNG or a WOS or West Brook could give them a game. Not a lot on that team that pops out and says, WOW. Just a bunch of transfers that did not pan out at their first stop....

jake94 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share 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!

That's true. I just figured he was really good in football and by him being a senior, he would be getting offers in football. He is marketing himself more toward soccer . In any event, good for him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best to come through SETX in awhile. jake94 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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... Wide receivers have been establishing themselves as of late at PNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalBacker Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share 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. bronco pride, Razor and AthleticSupporter - Jock 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
