Miami offers grad transfer DT Chigozie Nnoruka

[Stefan Adams]

UCLA grad transfer DT Chigozie Nnoruka landed an offer from UM today.

At 6’1”, 295, Nnoruka made seven tackles last season while playing in 11 games as a reserve for the Bruins. He had played in all 13 games during the previous season in 2017, starting 10, while making 49 tackles, 8½ tackles for loss and two sacks. Nnoruka’s playing time suffered during the transition to Chip Kelly’s 3-4 defense in 2018, and he announced his intent to transfer just 2 days ago on Wednesday.

We’re going to need some DTs badly. That defense was a shell of itself without Willis.

Scour bama roster and see if some dlineman are looking to transfer

 

[TexasCane90]

Good! Looks like he could benefit going back into an attacking 4-3 defense instead of playing patty cake at the line

QP summarizes Miami’s evaluation process perfectly.

I’d be extremely happy if we brought in 6 or 7 grown men for the February signing period. Get a grown man at QB and some grown men on the OL and DL.

He was a JUCO transfer to UCLA.

We need to be Grad Transfer U. We are an attractive destination to spend a year.

It’s not a substitute for recruiting but it’s a supplement to make sure you always have mature, strong players at physical positions.

Numbers. When it comes to the trenches, you have to throw numbers at the situation. The fact we under recruit and give ourselves no room for error is baffling.

 

[dudenate]

can’t hurt at all. We’ve got schollys to offer and need some competition for playing time. Sign him up.

If you have to rely on grad transfers to fill major holes, then you've failed in recruiting and development.

Plying the transfer market should only be a stopgap. If we are to get back to where we should be, we can't keep relying on players that other programs don't need or want.
