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

[AngryOtto]

Looking at the photos on Wilson’s thread from last weekend he looks way bigger than what some sites have him list. They state 6’5 290. He looks bigger than Wilson that’s listed at 300 pounds.

Watching him run down quarterbacks trying to get to the outside is impressive. The big fella can run.

And pretty soon it will be a movement.

Pretty sure it already is a movement

 

[BKCuse]

I’m so excited about this get, this team and this program

 

[orangepassion]

This guy has no clue he's now the star of our board

Sorry if already posted:


HUGE.

By my count, we currently will have 22 new guys join the team this month, between January HS enrollees and transfers. Yikes!

 

[SUalldway]

Wow

This guy hunts QBs for lunch and dinner!

 

[jordville]

Now this was a nice halftime surprise! Huge get!! Up next Mazz?

As I think Hastings is ours.

 

[orangefog]

This sucks.

"(Fans can expect) a player that can ball," Nwokocha said. "We're going to be in the community, we're going to be helping out. On the field, we're going to be dogs and getting some wins. Championships are the expectation."

You can anything you want at Franices’ restaurant…

If we keep getting guys like this, we won’t be able to use the whole “with proper dedication to S&C” anymore.

I so hope Hastings is ours. I think he is really debating on SU and Missouri. ,Mizz has a good team, I just hope he knows he will get alot of PT and he will be a super star with us. Plus will a bit closer to his home in Canada.

Ha, right. It's gonna be need to not let their weight balloon. So refreshing. It's weird both Dino and JB had this thing of avoiding players w big bodies, just odd.

 

[UpstateSM]

It's crazy that the Miss St guy wrote that up not even 2 hours ago and thought they had it in the bag. He's probably crying now.

This post would upset him if he could read

Mizzu already picked up 2 DT from the portal. Has another 6 on the roster. He will get a lot more playing time at su.

Plus there's probably going to be at least 70-75 scholarship players so I bet it's going to be pretty competitive.

Right now its at 81 and could be higher depending it any other transfers make it for Jan. Not all will practice, such as OG or Dave W.

 

[Oildrilling]

Miss St fans are pissed they lost this guy. That makes me happy.

 

[RandomGuy]

BOOM!

Liked this kids feet and aggression. Looks good to me! Seems all over the map, on recruiting sites. Is he still a 4 star on rivals? (They are stingy)

 

[RandomGuy]

As a former 300 pound defensive tackle, I absolutely love his tape.

When he gets extension, he’s able to shed so easily. The way he drops his hips and changes direction is also really impressive for someone his size.

He played some 5 tech in his highlight that showed he needs some work getting out of his stance, but that can be corrected with good coaching.

We are so *ing back.

Love this!. But also. What up with that? Usually when the hips are loose, they also explode out of their stance. Bend usually goes with change of direction.

Big guys should loosen their hips, every day. (Rolling, etc.) I like the shuttle when looking at hips. I'd expect this guy to hit like a ton of bricks, if we put him in A 4 point, on his knees.

What are you seeing thats off? Genuinely curious. Some big guys can bend their back side 2 or 3 inches off the floor, and instantly pop back up. Others can't. Hips seem loose. Curious on stance...

 

[CuseLegacy]

And the program knows it’s important to get local coverage. Dino moving on here helps as you have a new coaching staff who gets importance of selling the program locally. All coming together.

There were other journalists on the PS in recent years that have advocated doing football recruiting stories. It was the PS that said no. They weren't interested in that type of coverage of the football program.

They said they couldnt or didnt want big bodies which as i said for a bit means we are gonna get pushed everywhere.
