What a top 8, full of blue bloods. An SEC team, a Big-12 team, the Pac:-12 south champs.
See guys, Paopao knows what he is doing -
Now that's a who's who of bottom-feeding P5 programs, plus UNLV and Oregon State.Neighbor2972 said: -

At 6-4, 235 pounds, Overman has good size and is a prototype tight end who can block as well as catch the football. He shows very good hands and can make plays down the field as well as pick up those key 1st downs working the middle of the field.
He has excellent body control and athleticism and is the kind of tight end you can use in just about any situation. He can play as an inline tight end, you can spilt out wide or play him in the slot and he should be a very productive player at the next level.
On Sunday, Overman tweeted out a top eight that included Arizona, Cal, Kansas, Oregon State, UNLV, Utah, Vanderbilt and Washington.
Overman has already officially visited Oregon State and the Beavers have made a strong connection with him. We thought there was a chance Overman could make a summer decision and if he did, the Beavers would have likely been the choice.
Washington is his most recent offer and we know that was a big one for him. The Huskies have two tight ends already committed but plan to take a third and Overman said he will definitely take an official visit in the fall to Seattle. So who could land the final three visits?
Back in June, Overman said he could potentially take a July official visit and mentioned Vandy, Kansas and Cal as three schools he was considering. He didn’t end up visiting anyone with the open weekend but it won’t surprise us if at least 1-2 of those programs are able to get Overman on campus.
Arizona was an early offer for Overman and has been a constant in his recruitment. We haven't heard Utah and UNLV mentioned as much as the other schools on Overman's list so it will be interesting to see if they get land a visit. If we to handicap it right now, Oregon State and Washington look to be doing the best with Overman but there's still plenty of time in his recruitment for another program to make a serious run as well. -
I’m really glad @sonics1993 doesn’t have an update on this one. Way to read the room!

visiting Sept. 28 for the USC game

Was hoping he would visit in December to provide more time for the coaches to evaluate and eventually offer DJ Rogers.dhdawg said:visiting Sept. 28 for the USC game

The DB room situation makes me think the coaches have decided to just wrap up the class ASAP and then full court press Smalls, Banks, and Carlton.insinceredawg said:

If Rogers hasn’t shown he loves football and works his ass off by the start of his Senior year, Pete may just be over it.
And with the info I’ve learned recently from how the 247 rankings are done, TE is the toughest to figure out. The elite guys are elite. The rest that make it to the NFL were lowly rated dudes who all took massive leaps in college with their physical development.
So who knows how important it is to get Rogers. If he is talented but won’t work hard, maybe getting guys like Culp and Redman as your A list then filling the cracks with guys you can develop is all you need.
Fuck if I know, I’m no expert.
Edit: this is in no way saying that we haven’t completely fucked up TE recruiting every year because the top prospects we are after always go elsewhere. That’s a failure. Even if we get C and D targets and coach them up.
