Yet another recruiting expert logged a prediction for the Oklahoma Sooners to land four-star athlete Bode Sparrow, so at this point, it feels more like when than if Sparrow's commitment will come.
Rivals' Greg Biggins on Wednesday logged his expert prediction for Sparrow to ultimately commit to the Sooners with a 60% confidence level. Just over two weeks ago, Blair Angulo of 247Sports also predicted Sparrow to pick OU, and so has SoonerScoop's Josh McCuistion already.

A decision from Sparrow seemed to be coming even before now. He was just in Norman on Sunday for an official visit, which would have been a perfect time for an announcement after the Sooners got another chance at a strong impression. OU 2027 four-star edge rusher commit Krew Jones has even helped with recruiting efforts trying to seal the deal.
Sparrow has had his options narrowed down to 10 since January. His top 10 included OU, Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Arizona State, Michigan, Utah, BYU, Tennessee and Oregon. He has a visit to in-state BYU scheduled for June 19, which could draw out a decision.
Listed as an athlete, Sparrow would likely play safety for the Sooners on head coach Brent Venables' elite defense. However, he's talented enough as a defensive back and wide receiver to play both at the college level.
According to the 247Sports Composite, Sparrow, listed at 6-foot-2, is the No. 3 athlete in the 2027 class and the No. 66 overall prospect. He's also being the top player in the state of Utah out of Davis High School. To further show off his insane athleticism, Sparrow is also a stellar basketball player who averaged 13.2 points a game last season.
Offensively, Sparrow caught 83 passes for 1,218 yards and 16 touchdowns in 12 games last season as a junior, according to MaxPreps. He also recorded 71 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and seven interceptions on the other side of the ball.
Sparrow would be the 21st commit to what's the No. 1 recruiting class in the country for the Sooners. He'd be the fifth highest-rated commit of the group, based on the 247Sports Composite.
