CB Jeff Okudah (1st Team Unanimous All-American, Houston Texans)

[ShowMeBuck]

I have heard a lot of recruits over the years comment about how impressive of a fan base we have. Also saw lots of comments about how well represented the Buckeyes were in Norman for this game, particularly getting out an O-H-I-O chant at one point.

That kind of representation, on the road to an upper tier type school would have to be impressive. Can you imagine an opposing team "taking over" CBus or getting a chant going in the shoe?

I'd think that would be as impressive as the beat down that happened on the field.

Devil's advocate:

3. Wow, their secondary really needs help. I could probably start day one.

Okudah has stated that he wants to go where he'll be best prepared and coached to reach his full potential. I think that choice is clear after last night.

He can start next year after Hooker goes pro

He can start next year after Hooker goes pro

Honestly if we take care of business all year and the secondary keeps playing like they are Hook, Lattimore and Conley could all go pro.

I think Erick Smith and Jordan Fuller would have something to say about that...

So there is a question about who his coach will be.

I think recruits have got the picture that if you're really talented, you'll play here right away. Competition is only breeding more competition. Our secondary is almost in a rotation and they look great.

I think Okudah is coming here and will be planning on playing soon.

They could and should all go pro if they continue this level of play, which only helps with recruiting more 3 and out talent level players.

Staff member of 11W basically stated that Okudah is already a silent commit. Bottom of this page:

Wow! Andrew Ellis, the 11W staff that posted the above, said that it was revealed to the OU team that posted the news. If so, what a terrible move by the OU staff. Reminds me of what happened to the LB from MD last year... Keandre Jones, if I remember right.

That would seem to be an awful lot of saltiness coming from Norman. Maybe all of the salt came from tears?

He's been OSU's to lose for some time now...

 

[maximumblitz]

It is impossible for someone to watch the tOSU secondary and not be impressed.

 

[pnuts34]

Doesn't Okudah want to play CB instead of Saftey? why all the comments of him replacing Hooker ?

No, he's a S, but more like the Tyvis Powell/Vonn Bell types that are versatile enough to play both positions. But he has ball hawking ability like Hooker. Kid is an absolute stud that can lineup all over the secondary, but will be a center fielder FS, IMO.
