Sam Webb, Steve Wiltfong, and Josh Newkirk put in Crystal Ball for 2021 DT Ikechukwu Iwunnah
Hot off the press. All 3 put in a CB with a "7" confidence level for the Colorado commit this afternoon to flip to the good guys. See for yourself here. https://247sports.com/PlayerInstitution/Ikechukwu-Iwunnah-at-Lakeview-Centennial-227879/CurrentExpertPredictions/

Wrong....

Definite candidate for the Michigan "all names" team.
February 2nd, 2021 at 5:22 PM ^
Heard some Colorado guys say that former Michigan DT target Victory Vaka was actually processed out of Colorado’s class for Iwunnah. This shows that Iwunnah is more than likely being disrespected by the recruiting ranking websites.
February 2nd, 2021 at 5:38 PM ^
Disrespekt
February 2nd, 2021 at 5:25 PM ^
Two questions:
Can he play DT?
Are we allowed to offer QB's after he commits?
February 2nd, 2021 at 5:27 PM ^
Iwunnah kick-ass defensive tackle to wreck havoc on opposing QBs.
February 2nd, 2021 at 5:28 PM ^
Wiltfong is the gold standard. This great. Much needed thick legged NG
February 2nd, 2021 at 5:37 PM ^
Those in the know, I’ve always felt as though it’s a disadvantage to be 6’ 4”+ as a DT/NT. Is there truth to this or is it totally a technique thing of getting low? I just always felt if you were 6’ 4” + you get moved to OT because of the leverage problem.
Edited bc I put 6’ 2”. I meant 6’ 4” but it seems as though a lot of those guys (Will Campbell is the stereotype I go to mentally) have trouble getting push because they stand up and can’t get a good pad level. I’m no expert so I’m just curious what our resident experts think.
February 2nd, 2021 at 11:39 PM ^
6’2? Or 6’4? Sure the NFL has size metrics that they want their players to be in but it really doesn’t matter at this level. There’s plenty of tall DTs who perform well and I’d say the average is right around 6’2
February 2nd, 2021 at 5:39 PM ^
Iwunnah get him locked up!
February 2nd, 2021 at 5:40 PM ^
Awesome!
February 2nd, 2021 at 5:41 PM ^
Can he play dt... wait...what?!
February 2nd, 2021 at 5:43 PM ^
Take him just for names sake.
February 2nd, 2021 at 5:53 PM ^
Love this guys size and potential. He would be a great late addition to this class
February 2nd, 2021 at 5:59 PM ^

February 2nd, 2021 at 9:46 PM ^
great minds and all that
February 2nd, 2021 at 6:18 PM ^
Makes you wonder if Nua is actually a kick ass recruiter but Brown was holding him back.
February 2nd, 2021 at 7:16 PM ^
Signs so far are saying yes....and its bugging the shit out of me everytime i hear good recruiting news about a beefy DT
Add this one to the list
February 2nd, 2021 at 6:19 PM ^
Big Ass DT balls are swinging our way - it's been awhile, and I like it!

February 2nd, 2021 at 7:31 PM ^
I LIKE IKE
February 2nd, 2021 at 8:30 PM ^
Great to add some beef up front. Get him in the weight room and coached up. Our new coaches + new culture = big impact
February 2nd, 2021 at 8:57 PM ^
We need DT's!
February 2nd, 2021 at 10:27 PM ^
Hell yeah!! Now go get a transfer NG and we are good.
- Transfer
- Mazi Smith
- Donovan Jeter (when needed, but more PT as backup DT to Hinton)
- IKE IWUNNAH!!

This gives context for Steve Lorenz tweeting a picture of "ike" eisenhower earlier tonight.
February 3rd, 2021 at 12:41 AM ^
IGBO KWENU!!! Name pronounciation for you guys: EE-KAY-CHU-KOO EE-WU-NNAH. Basically the W in first name is silent but otherwise surprisingly easy. MORE NIGERIANS, YES!!!

After a couple of Trulicity adds, this video highlights him Terrorizing QBs and RBs. Me likes, me likes very much.

So, for those with more football knowledge than I.... it seems we've been getting lighter and faster (perforce) guys in the middle.
After the Minnesota game during the Podcast Brian and Seth both said that Minnie got away with a good enough O line buy recruitng like 400lbs guys. THey couldn't move but they could push forward enough to get a running game; and it let Minnesota not have to recruit against the bigger schools as hard.
Couldn't we do something like that for DT? Particularly if we are going to go to a 3-4? Yes, I'd love to have Mo Hurst but wouldn't a 400lbs guy who can just move forward and push the pocket and take space count too? There have to be more of them than Mo Hursts.
