Ektard says this guy is leaning towards UW. Former high 4* but hasn't panned out in the Grinch Speed D.

    @backthepack was on this days ago

    Blair Angelo posted something about this a week or two ago. Sounds like his Twitter follows have been pretty UW heavy.

    At one point he was a borderline 5* cb but it sounds like he struggled at Oklahoma.

    Rivals article. Fastest strategy

    "Bookie transitioned to the nickel position in 2019 under new coordinator Alex Grinch’s tutelage. The new role fit his skills as a cover man better than his previous position, which kept him farther away from the line of scrimmage. He started all 14 games of the ‘19 season and finished fifth on the team in tackles with 46.

    Unfortunately, Bookie’s antics tended to overshadow his contributions on the field. His non-stop jawing with opponents and periodic bouts of excessive physicality away from the ball made him a magnet for personal fouls. Bookie’s transgressions included a stupefying cheap shot leading to his ejection during Oklahoma’s blowout loss to LSU in the Peach Bowl at the end of the ‘19 season."

    Hmm...no apostrophes in his name?

    He’s got talent but he’s also sloppy as is most of Oklahoma’s defense.

    If he comes in then you’re looking at him likely realizing he needs to make his game tighter to get to the next level.

    Reality is DBs are an area of concern going into next season for me notably from a depth standpoint.

    Definitely not against the move.

    Safety is probably the weakest position unit on the defense.

    Agreed Roadie

    Bringing in more competition at both the slot and safety positions is a good thing

    Our secondary is very much too heavy in terms of depth

    Has anybody done a weighted mean stochastic analysis of the twitter traffic of the follower influencers to determine if there is a valid correlation?

    Yep. And really not much to speak of in "depth" or "next man up". You got Turner... who has been incredibly disappointing. There's Cam Williams who didn't see the field last year. After that, you're essentially taking a cb and moving them to safety. Who am I forgetting? Who the hell was our other safety last season?

    Anyways, yeah. We could use some help there

    I watched film from last year and never saw another safety - he was so deep he was out of camera view

    You have Cook, Covington and Esteen trying to unseat Turner and Williams. I don't know where Irvin falls but it is a free for all back there.

    There is depth it just hasn't performed yet. I have to believe they're going to figure it out and put two good safeties on the field this year.

    Julius Irvin. If he can put on weight I still believe.

    That's who I completely forgot about... Cook. Did he record a stat last year?

    He was the one safety that sought out contact at times. Wasn’t particularly good but maybe might could be with another year or two if he can improve in coverage.

    I'd take this kid in a heartbeat, and I still believe in Irvin, I am convinced he is going to be a good player this year and a future star, assuming there is a season.

    There isn't an obvious successor to Molden in the nickel spot, so this makes sense. I'd assume the only 2 surefire starters in the secondary for now are McDuffie and Gordon

    Agreed. Gordon will be a killer in the slot if he gets to play there.

    He's played outside every time we've brought him on the field at DB

    Irvin will be a star based on what exactly? It’s not looking good. He’s been hurt and buried in the depth and nobody is actually very good that is ahead of him. He also hasn’t played well when he has gotten in there.
