CB Trai Mosley Leaving the Team

Was reading an article about 2016 CB commit DiCaprio Bootle and something caught my eye. Supposedly one of the reasons Mosley wasn't a "fit" was because he doesn't have the physical size of some other corners. The coaches - as do most - prefer bigger corners.

Mosley is listed at 5-10, 170 lbs. Bootle is listed at 5-11, 170 lbs.
Bootle is also a junior in high school still.
He's a senior and is part of the 2016 class

Was thinking of Djimon Colbert, my bad.
 
I thought Bootle was being recruited as a nickleback. Which may mean he doesn't need to have the size of Chris Jones or Kalu.

Regardless of the position he plays it'll be nice to have his speed on D. It's gotten better lately but there were times the past 4-5 years where we just looked so slow on that side of the ball (see Wisconsin, Big Ten Championship game, 2012)
