@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.

"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?

I'll take him
 
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

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.
