Cool Chigozie Nnoruka Tidbit

[Genghis Cane]

From the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson:

Simpson said Nnoruka, during his visit to UM, had no interest in “dressing up” and enjoying the South Florida nightlife.

“He said, ‘Let’s not go. Let’s stay here and just talk ball,’” Simpson said. “He can not only help us, but we can help him. It’s a two-way street. He’s a ball junkie, great personality. He shows some pass rush about him that I really, really like.”

He knows this is his last best shot to get to the NFL. An the world will be watching week one vs Florida. If he can come in and land a starting spot or break into the two deep rotation he will be off to a great start.

Sounds like a man trying to earn a paycheck. I like it.

Well the kid did go to UCLA, so he's used to hanging in Westwood. South Florida shouldn't be too unfamiliar to him from a party/nightlife perspective. But good on him for being focused.

This dude KJ Kennedy and Hill are not coming here to fugg around. Nfl or bust for them. 3 dudes that likely won’t tolerate half assness.

This is exactly why I love graduate transfers! They have a no-nonsense type of an approach!

Recruits talk about making business decisions, but it's for their parents survival. Upperclassmen or grad transfers make business decisions, and it's for own survival.

Narrator: Nnoruka did in fact go out at 3am that night and multiple prostitutes remain missing to this day. Jess Simpson was none the wiser.

Jokes aside and as was mentioned, it's cool to see the attitude of some transfers vs a lot of recruits on their mini vacations here with their #1 priority being "enjoying the process".

And how many talented guys have we seen that just can’t handle the college experience?

These guys have been there, done that

These are the transfer kids we need from the portal!

These kids usually go to the draft years back and went undrafted! Now you have one year kids like him and KJ who are looking to kill it in their last year and double their money and be a draft pick or upgrade their draft position

 

[ST26]

Gotta love it!!!

 

[423Hurricane]

This young mans focus and experience is exactly what Manny said was one of his main reasons for going to the portal. Needed some "age" and to help the youngin's learn to how to work.

 

[Geddy Lee]

Love the kid already

Get this man a cigar!

What I love about Hill is he does not accept losing, especially to grossly inferior opponents. Instill that mindset in your fellow teammates on D and this is imminent domination

Nnoruka is all business which is great for the young pups to see the true business side of football. Sure, fun and comraderie are great, but the competition and the $$$ is the real allure and these guys (Chigozie, Hill, Osborne, etc) get that this is their best shot at influencing where they’ll land come the NFL Draft. Manny bringing them in not only greatly improves the talent and depth on the team, it also provides a platform for the rest of the team to see what hard work and commitment means.
