Tre’von Riggins

[Maskoff407]

Looks like he’s going to decommit. BEFORE YOU ALL GO TALKING CRAP ABOUT THE STAFF’S ABILITY TO RECRUIT... It was already reported awhile ago that Miami was no longer interested in brining him in. He’s just not the player Miami needs and you should be okay with that. He’s short, slow, and not to powerful for a DT. He will need a lot of conditioning. A lot!! Along with Antonio Smith (OG) from Ocala who will probably decommit sometime soon. Riggins looks to be leaning towards Illinois and my boy said he might take an official to Louisville. So my hope is that Miami is looking to bring in players that can play now... no 2-3 years later.

We've known he was going to get dropped. Thanks for the disclaimer though lol. Opens the door for another OL or DB

Right. I just hate how these people go in over a decommit that needed to decommit

This has been known for awhile. His measurables are not what they're reported on the recruiting sites; Rivals has him at 6'4", 280, but he's barely 6'1.

It's been known for awhile that he wouldn't be a part of this class. Miami has told him to look elsewhere.

FIRE STROUD AND MANNY FOR LETTING THIS SLEEPER GO TO LOVIE

Definitely ok with this drop. Kid hasn't grown much the last couple years and seems like he'd get buried in our depth chart and hit the portal by 2021. Better for both parties honestly. Best of luck to the kid.

I dont like us dropping Riggins, I'm cool with smith, always good to stack quality DT's on the shelf

Is he a quality DT? Got any numbers or film that indicate so? or is he simply another Tyreic Martin...

More than fire with this let’s go after some big boys now.

Then you should be fine with dropping him

I mean, he's a 4 star on rivals, but hey what do I know...

I just appreciate the fact that our coaches are actually doing their own evals, whether its a good move or not doesnt even matter at this point, we did a good job of catching up on our d-tackles depth, but definitely will keep it going!

He's too small to play DT, and not athletic enough to play on the edge.

Just look at his ratings drop on 247. He went from a high four-star to a low three-star throughout the course of his senior season because his measurables were overblown.

Lol, well that makes 2 of us.

The fact that his best option is Illinois says a lot.

Or like Avantae Williams and Leonard Manual, he just didn't develop like the scouting services thought he would from his sophomore to senior year. All 3 of these kids were top 25-30 players in the country their sophomore year. Now I don't think any of them are in the top 100.

That said, you can argue that this staff is lacking in many areas re evaluations but you cant argue their DE/DT evals. They are hitting grand slams. If they say the kid doesn't have it, I gotta ride with them on it.

Not a single person on this board doesn't know that we were dropping Riggins & Smith for weeks now & no one is upset about it.

Moise & Roberts are more than enough at DT for this class.

That ranking perhaps goes back to 2017. Lol
