Ifeatu Melifonwu entering 2021 NFL Draft

[Newhouser]

Big loss and hope he gets a chance for Sundays.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I think he's very good, but are we that confident he will get drafted?

 

[syrBossHogg]

I think he's very good, but are we that confident he will get drafted?

I think with his family connections + talking to his agent he's confident he'll get drafted. I could see him going in the 5th round

He's confident. Isn't that all that matters?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

He's confident. Isn't that all that matters?

It's a factor. I'm always pro guys deciding to go, well, pro. First realistic chance they get. I hope he does have a realistic chance. Given his brother and the agent relationship, I do think he has access to better intel than others might.

 

[DMDMD]

I think he’s a mid round pick based on his measurables alone.

 

[hoopsupstate]

All three are good players, but I bet they all get drafted much lower than they expect. Cisco- round 3 and they other two rounds 5 or 6.

 

[721Comstock]

Hmmm makes no sense.

Play one more year, improve your draft stock.

Brian? Is that you?

 

[Cuse69]

Probably could go as high as the 3rd rounder or even go undrafted, similar to durrell eskridge

 

[JRHEETER]

Best of luck to iffy. And I hope to see him do well.

With that being said, if Trill, Iffy and Cisco came back next season all three without a doubt would have been 3rd round or better picks. Such a shame that they are leaving early with more time to grow in my opinion.


Either way, hope to see all three flourish in the NFL

 

[hoopsupstate]

Losing those three players is equivalent to a couple extra losses next year. They are the best SU can get and you don’t replace them in one year. SU has few strengths and losing your best strength puts you behind the eight ball before the season even starts. It could be the difference to making a bowl game.

Right but another year could get him 3rd or better and more $$$$

 

[Nick44]

Draft picks are not going to stay for a 4th or 5th year if the best this program can do is the Pinstripe Bowl.

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

Sucks but not surprised.

im a big believer in you’re either Pro talent or you’re not, and sticking around for another year to try improve draft stock doesn’t really matter in the long-run because if you’re good enough to play in the league you’ll make it regardless, so why jeopardize that by risking injury or something.

to think that we had 3 draft picks in our secondary is pretty crazy. Can’t remember the last time that was the case. Too bad we didn’t get to see it at full potential. Damn COVID.

 

[Orijinal]

Who plays opposite Garrett? Does Chestnut come right in or is it Jahad Carter?

 

[syrBossHogg]

Right but another year could get him 3rd or better and more $$$$

Maybe but football's a violent game obviously. Going from a 5th round pick to a 3rd round pick isn't worth staying another year IMO

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Who plays opposite Garrett? Does Chestnut come right in or is it Jahad Carter?

I think Chestnut could play, we'll see about starting though.

Cornelius Nunn was seeing snaps before he got hurt.

 

[PhatOrange]

Good luck! Always Orange!

 

[syrBossHogg]

I think Chestnut could play, we'll see about starting though.

Cornelius Nunn was seeing snaps before he got hurt.

Yeah I'm hoping Nunn takes a leap like Garrett did this past year. Don't sleep on Chase Atkinson either

 

[SkyTopBus44]

Is his brother still in the nfl?

 

[Trueblue25]

Blessing to have had him, Trill and Cisco.

Garrett and Carter look like NFL guys to me. Hopefully Coley can stay healthy and put it all together?

 

[Trueblue25]

Was Iffy a HCSS or HCDB kid? I cant remember

 

[syrBossHogg]

Dino

 

[Trueblue25]

Dino

Well, Dino’s putting our name back in the NFL draft. That’s going to help recruiting big time. No doubts at least one of the three will pan out well, wouldnt be surprised if they each do

 

[Orijinal]

After looking at a potential 2 deep, I think we need to bring in one or 2 more Rover types by February
