Rutgers TE Matt Flanagan going to Pitt as grad transfer.
- Thread starter Panthergrowl13
- Start date
Yep. It was either the flu or a stomach virus which went through the team, mainly the offense. That's why our OL couldn't block a stiff breeze.
Good game plan by Cincinnati too. 3 times they just tackled WRs who beat the CBs. Take the 15 over the TD.
I know nothing about Flanagan but just because he had a perfect GPA and could be on his way to becoming a Doctor doesn't mean he couldn't have partied too much as a D1 athlete or was a cancer to the team.
He gets a free pass just because he's smart? Also if he was out partying all the time that means at least some of his teammates were too.
This is exactly what won the game for Cincy...Brilliant way to take advantage of college rules. Rutgers could have easily been up pretty big early in this game.
If he was a cancer why was he the face of the program in many of the videos? He was front and center in the hum video? He was featured in the make noise video? No coach would reward a cancer with prime face time in videos.
I never said he was a cancer. I said I know nothing about him. Skoolie seems pretty plugged in though.
I said just because he gets good grades doesn't mean he CAN'T be a cancer.
And I'll say the same thing here. Just because he's in a Hum video or a Make noise video (which is recorded well before the season) doesn't mean he can't be a Cancer during the season.
We agree. I don't know if he was a cancer or not a cancer. Just don't understand why someone (not you) would try to tarnish someones reputation on a message board. All we know about Flanagan is that he is a smart kid that put in time in the class room and on the playing field and has decided to move on. So he went to parties after games who cares we all did at one point or another.

It looks like Matt Flanagan will be a very good addition at Pitt according to Pat Narduzzi.
"Matt Flanagan has been tremendous", Pat Narduzzi said Tuesday. "I think you guys will be impressed when you see No. 88 get a chance to step out there and do some things. I've been impressed with what he has done".
On the field, Pitt needed to fill the void left by Orndoff who was the 2nd leading receiver in 2016. Chris Clark (TE transfer from UCLA) is the obvious candidate, but Flanagan (6'6"-260) will have an opportunity to compete with Clark at TE as well as possibility some looks as a fullback/H-back in the role George Aston made famous last season (Aston broke his leg in camp and has opened the opportunity for Flanagan).
Interesting to see what Matt will accomplish under Pitt's offense and OC this year.
Narduzzi is not one for praising players.
HAIL TO PITT!!!!

Good for Matt but IMO of course your coach will say all that about a guy that came from Rutgers, one of the 'area' schools you often recruit against. IMO it's part gamesmanship.

Just a stupid statement. Leave the kid alone. He was not a problem at all and I know first hand.
He is a super bright kid that saw a chance to play at a better program right now.
Thats it
Well I suspect many Rutgers fans will be watching the Pitt-Penn State game this year so you can watch #88 and judge for yourself.
Would be ironic if he caught/ran the ball to win that game.
I still expect Pitt to score 35 ppg avg this year.
Defense is young and somewhat inexperienced so that will be problematic.

Unless it's the only thing on TV, very few people are going to go out of their way to watch a Pitt/Penn State game, especially if it's just to see Flanagan.
Flanagan is an average, run of the mill college player. Nothing good, nothing bad. I hope he does well. End of story.

For the record, Flanagan had 2 catches for 35 yards, 0 TDs versus Youngstown State.

I heard different. If true it would only be because you guys basically have a stable of 1AA players for Rbs. Nobody moves from paradise to Hades otherwise.
