    Our newest DB commit

    That at least explains wanting to take another receiver in this class. Helps with DB depth too. Assuming he'll be a safety?

    He was supposed to be a better safety prospect than WR prospect...is he swapping sides?

    What I miss?

    He announced he was switching to DB on his instagram

    I actually really liked his game as a receiver. He's built like a safety though and we need the depth more there. Too many WRs not getting play time right now. His ball skills will be nice to have on defense.

    Surprise surprise. Another WR recruiting failure. Skill position players switching sides almost never works out. He'll probably transfer after next season.

    We also took him over Bryan Thompson and he recorded one career reception for us. Good job guys.

    Curious, what is your list of players to evidence this? Jomon Dotson? I don't remember many position players switching sides over the years but Curtis Williams, Donald Jones, and Tommie Smith stand out as success stories. Wooching started for a playoff team, hard to call that a failed position change. Who else has failed?

    Jomon Dotson and Psalm Wooching are the only ones during the Petersen era and both sucked. Where's your evidence of the times it has worked out during the Petersen era? Oh that's right, there is none so the facts are on my side. Regardless of the secondary being a bit thin at safety, Jimmy Lake has recruited safeties with far better safety film than Cook had coming out of high school. He hasn't played DB in two years. It's unlikely he's gonna go over there and beat guys out for significant playing time. I get called a doog but that's some doog shit. He'll probably suck and transfer after next season. I'm being realistic here.

    He didn't get on the field for Utah's offense until later in the season similar to Terrell Bynum here. Bottom line is he's playing receiver for them and starting to emerge whereas Cook is no longer playing receiver for us and will give DB a try before transferring.

    1. You didn't say shit about "under Pete", you just said skill players switching sides almost never works out.

    2. Your basing this massive opinion on a sample size of two? Seriously?

    3. One of those two stuck it out and started a full season, there's no possible way you can call that failed position switch. That shit worked out. Well.

    4. You forgot John Ross who switched sides, played extensively (and immediately) to help a thin position, then switched back when the numbers were back up.

    5. You *are* a major doog. MAJOR.

    Next time before you post a comment like this, I want you to read through it and really think about what you're saying, then stick you dick in a pencil sharpener.
    Not sure there's a pencil sharpener on the planet that's big enough. How bout I stick it in your girl instead?

    If all you got is Psalm was a starter GTFO. He was terrible. It worked out for him. Didn't work out for the rest of us.

    There's 85 players on scholarship. If one of them changes positions and makes it to one of the 22 starting positions that's 100% a successful move for the team. He wasn't going to be starting otherwise.

    You have literally one example of a skill guy who changed positions transferring. There's two who didn't, not to mention Dissily who changed into a semi-skill position. So your transfer theory is 1/3. At best.

    Good luck the rest of the way.

    Holy fucking shit. Psalm was trash! We had fucking nobody else! He fell into a starting job and ran with it. That was not a successful move for the team.

    Dissly was a defensive lineman which is why I excluded him.

    Why are you freaking the fuck out and acting like a bitch because I suggested Cook will eventually transfer? That's college football. Guys transfer out every year.

    Jomon Dotson lead the Nevada DBs in tackles, PD, and interceptions. I'd call that a success.

    Dissly was a defensive lineman which is why you threw in the completely arbitrary “skill position” qualifier so you wouldn’t have to include him. Your take is a load of shit even by your own load of shit standards.

    Dennis making some good points as he often does. Cook did have pretty good tape both ways, and we all know we vastly overrecruited the WR position.
    Someone send him an invite

    Yeah would be cool if he posted here. I feel like he could be a valued contributor.
