'27 IL LB Roman Igwebuike (Notre Dame Verbal)

[Domina Nostra]

His tape is pretty interesting. He’s obviously a big, strong, mobile kid, but he looks very raw as a LB.

Can you go more in depth on your thoughts i.e. what makes him look so raw? I don’t even bother to look at tape anymore, because 99% of the time I don’t know what I’m looking for (or even at.)

I would say (1) he looks like he is always reacting to the play after it unfolds, and (2) he often starts with a bad angle and then re-adjusts.

I don't watch enough non-highlights to know how to process what I'm looking at, but he definitely doesn't look as developed as other LBs we've recruited. And, to me, LB instincts are hard to develop.

He looks like a beast, though. In another year, he would be the kid I assumed would grow and switch to OLB/WDE. Now we are overstocked at that position!

We all must be getting spoiled. Top 150 kid committing in a couple days and no replies in his thread for days

Too nervous to discuss it anymore.

Honestly, people are just hoping this thread doesnt get the Henderson treatment. Everyone knew he was coming to ND until A&M threw a massive money bag with a note that says "Freeman doesnt love you like I do."

 

[Domina Nostra]

I don’t really think he and Henderson are comparable.

Henderson is elite and likely an immediate factor in the depth chart. Igwebuike has a high ceiling but a lot of development ahead of him.

It’s like comparing Premer and Hawk.

This guy would be a tremendous pick up. Lots of potential!

Pretty sure the Michigan commit gets tossed from a Top Golf for sexually harassing a waitress in this. Classy stuff. Honestly can't believe the camera guy posted the footage.

We get to watch Haalland kick soccer ball while Roman commits to us on our phones. It’s a special day kings.

Currently sitting at my kids golf outing. Found out they discourage bringing your own beer and cigars. Communists.

Anyways….

Key is to do a dry run, see what stickers they put on their beers and what brands they carry, then when you go back make sure you kept that sticker.

What kind of child golf tournament does not allow Dad to have 8 beers and smoke a cigar. What kind of world do we live in?

De-pussify childrens’ golf tournaments is my new platform!!!!

Drink away my bestie☘️

This class has is insane. Roman would have been a class headliner many other years and in 2027 he’s essentially just another guy.

Curious how they attack the second LB spot. Assume they go after a late riser / high upside guy and then take a proven guy in the portal with a few years of eligibility remaining.

 

[notredomer23]

Igwebuike gets ND to 299.89 on the composite. I think even adding a 3 star gets them over 300 at this point.

He mentioned recruiting his 2028 teammates.

Marshaun Thornton is #38 WR on 247, #11 on On3/Rivals….

My understanding is that Thornton is a definite take for the staff in a 3-4 WR class. Caleb Tucker is a top of the board NG target for them as well from what I gather.

On3 made it seem Tucker is a long shot. He apparently wants to get out of the cold

I've heard the same, but ND will likely still push. Strikes me as a Florida / Georgia type though.

Irish Breakdown and on3 make it seem like he is looking for different things. Unfortunate.
