Excellent pick up. I like Alexander and Shannon, but Bond will add depth and should contribute next year.

I don't think there was any doubt after his visit that he would be a Sooner.

Here's some of Bond's highlights in JUCO. He's not as fast as Striker, but plays more violently (that's the only word I could use that fit, watch his film and judge for yourself):

Yeah but who did we beat out to get him?
That's all that matters.

I heard we beat out some school for the blind and a nunnery. But that nunnery is on an 14 game winning streak.

Yeah, well, that nunnery wouldn't be crap without Sister Ignatia. 6'4", 320 lb Jr. from Cameroon. Runs a 4.4 forty and benches 500lbs. Nosetackle who sometimes drops into coverage. Wouldn't be nothing without her.

Puh-lease.

I'm so tired of people pointing to Ignatia for the Nun's success.

If you followed the games at all, you'd know it's Sister Hopman, the undersized (6'1", 225 lb Sophomore) defensive end. Look no further than her game last week against the Sisters of St. Francis. 4 sacks, 6 TFL and 12 tackles. Everyone wants to pile on the Ignatiadozer band wagon, but I know talent when I see it!

I won't mention the unseemly amount of time you spent drooling over Hopman's ankles in your article last week in "Sisters of Football Digest". Had she not been taken already, I'd have thought you had something on for her.

I may have taken it a bit far in that article, but if I were you, I wouldn't talk...remember your 6 piece special on GridironNuns.com about "the best bodies in the Sacred Heart league"?!

This guy is an edge rusher, not an inside guy. I wouldn't be surprised if they use him and Striker on either edge.

I addressed that in my second post. He's not as fast as Striker, but has an excellent nose for the ball and plays more physical.

He gets to the QB faster than Striker does. He has that NFL pass rush lean down pat. That just isn't something you see a lot at the college level.

You think? It's hard for me to tell based on the competition Bond has seen in JUCO. Either way, I like the idea of having him opposite Striker.

FWIW I just heard a Hale interview on KREF with Bond.Bond said coaches told him that want him opposite Striker to rush the qb from both edges.

That could be very good. I never get too excited about recruits, but the idea of having two OLBs that can/will get to the QB is interesting.

Before the Broncos let Dumerville go, they had him opposite of Von Miller, and it was always fun to watch. I wouldn't mind having a similar set up in Norman.

....by violent would you mean he has the physical tools to take short route to the ball e.g. The proverbial straight line.... I'll watch the highlights later

Watching him, he reminds me of the hammer. Let's hope that he pans out better than Lewis did.

Yeah, something like that. It's hard to elaborate on, he just looks like he builds up a head of steam quicker than most, and hits with a purpose.
