Class of 2023 JUCO DL Michael Nwokocha (TX) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (1/8/24)

[SUFan44]

I would be a little surprised if this one doesn't work out in our favor.

 

[VikesCuse84]

Could he be what ERob’s dart tweet was in reference to this morning?

I think there are going to be multiple darts today...too much smoke.

 

[cusefan88]

Will they also go after Raikes as well if this guy signs?

 

[sutomcat]

Nothing to report. Just wanted to post a dart hitting its mark.

 

[tep624]

I hope so. Raikes is a traditional NT sized guy. I think Nwokocha would be in the DT rotation and man sub 4.8 speed at that size, wow.

Did Darton graduate and if so does he have an extra year of eligibility? You can’t like this team without being a fan of his…Played hard for a long time. Just wondering if he is a possibility for 2024.

Sorry to post this here (Cuse Legacy) LOL

Given they're looking to stack talent, I would think so.

Can't have next man up, unless you have the talent there.

This guy ran a 4.76 laser timed 40. 300 pound DTs that run laser timed 4.76 40s are unicorns. The fastest 40 for a DT in combine history is 4.67 and Aaron Donald ran a 4.68. This is a freak athlete to say the least.

 

[Cusefan69]

What I like about this guy is he has the size and speed to place him anywhere on the dline. Can/could create nice matchup issues for the OC.

 

[rackman18]

Yes, please.

This guy [6-5 290] and Wilson would really give us a bigger set of DTs to use inside, to go along with Ingraham.

I love each piece of the puzzle that HCFB and staff are putting together. This puzzle is becoming to be a "master piece ". Go Orange

Yep - he totally does.

Following the bread crumbs, I'm not sure that Raikes is in the picture (which likely means there will be a committed post any second now given my recent history).

Guessing Nwokocha might be next...

Darton graduated last spring. He is in grad school. Eventually I will ask his fiance. As I have said before their wedding is in Arizona in November 2024.

I would love Darton to be a part of the program next year if he wants. He is really easy to root for.

Once again .. .who schedules a wedding during the football season??!!

Yeah that would see highly unusual for someone planning on playing a football season this fall - might be telling in and of itself.

and he is a hell of a football player

He fits the 3 shade mold with that speed for a big guy.

Yeah looks like they're starting to stack up some real pieces for a quality rotation there.

If you subscribe to Mike at SI, he has some info in his Monday Musings from this week.

Or.. he will get married at halftime of an Arizona Cardinals game and then fly back to SU to finish the season, just to keep it all about football

 

[shu 49]

Yeah quit excited. That is becoming a very good defense. Need Harris at corner big time and as some said if Barnes is good enough he could back up both while he learns although that scares me.
