I am sure he was pretty happy. He came on here during the season and said that he likes D better than O.

Nwankwo has slimmed down to 270, and is being groomed to play a DE in the 3-4. Seems to be very excited about the prospect of doing so, and is adjusting his training regimen to conform with being a Defensive player from this point on. Has been doing spring workouts with his high school team.

Emeka is also certainly hoping that team mate Jordan Futch will get an ND offer, and that Futch and his fellow LB & buddy, Etienne Sabino, will make a visit to South Bend.

Great info IUB! I know you mentioned before that Futch and Sabino were trying to make a trip to ND in May (and I remember seeing a headline about it on Irish Illustrated as well), but do you know if they still intend on coming up in May?

Doesn't look like it, never saw anything else to confirm it. Last time Sabino talked about coming to ND, it was to be in the summer, with no mention of Futch being with him. Futch is probably not going to make the trip without an offer, although according to Mike Farrell, Futch told him that he does have one. However, there seems to be a lot of confusion as to the accuracy of that statement as no one, including Rivals, lists Futch as an ND offer.
