Notre Dame's Emeka Nwankwo

[Jason Svoboda]

I don't believe Brian Kelly will be bringing him back for his fifth year. Would Sycamore fans like to start going after some kids like this to bolster the roster? I'd imagine he could probably get some PT here and he has one year of eligibility left.

He's a 6-foot-4, 290lb defensive end out of Florida. Graduated from ND, so you know he wouldn't have any issues academically. With Miles having some ties to ND, it would be interesting if he could snag a guy from Notre Dame from time to time.

Yeah a kid this size may actually be a d-tackle at this level if we move back to the 4-3...if not he's a perfect end in this 3-4 system...he's a fit, it's jsut if he wants to play ball anymore.

Well, I think the bigger thing here is would it be worth it to have a guy for one season?

Agreed...bring him in! Why not? No problems....no long term commitment ...schollie frees up next fall again and you have a mature player in a needed area! Big question is would he count as in state?????

Does he have enough experience to bring to the table to make a one and done worthwhile? Can he dominate at his position? Would he be a leader? a teacher? Would bringing him in cause us to lose someone who might be a big contributor for 2 or 3 years? Looks to me like there are a lot of questions to answer--most importantly starting with does he want to be here? We all know there is a world of difference between ND and ISU. Would he fit in with the other players? If the right answers are given to these queries, then go for him. If not, better off without him. Just the thoughts of a dumb old retired guy.
