Looks like we're officially in the mix with Bishard "Budda" Baker from WA as he's setting up an official. We're recruiting him as a WR not safety as I posted. Here's a highlight video. It labels him as a RB/S though he does appear to be split wide a bit.
However....I'd say seriously temper expectations as here's an interview with him from ESPN. If you listen to what he's saying is important to him, we don't seem to be a very good fit at all and this interview was Friday just before we offered

Baker isn’t going to blow you away with his size -- he measured in at 5-foot-9 and 174 pounds. Baker is also not going to blow you away with his testing numbers -- 4.51 40-yard dash, 4.15 shuttle, 35-inch vertical leap. But where he did blow the competition away at The Opening was with his on-field play. Baker, the nation’s No. 141 player, made the difficult catches look easy all week long. Routine short passes often turned into long gainers. Passes that were overthrown turned into acrobatic diving catches. He even took to the air and laid his entire body out on one touchdown grab during Tuesday’s 7-on-7 pool play. He took a cameraman out in the process but still managed to come up with the catch. -- Jeremy Crabtree (ESPN)

Found this to be an interesting quote from McKinney. Think he's probably right
