Kevin Overton, a highly regarded four-star guard who previously played for Drake, is now planning to visit Oklahoma and join their men’s basketball program, marking a significant move for the team from the transfer portal. Overton, ranked as the 69th overall available player and the 18th shooting guard in the 247Sports Network’s transfer portal player rankings, has shown promise with his skills in scoring, playmaking, and positional size. Despite his defensive performance ranking lower, his offensive capabilities, including three-point shooting and finishing at the rim, have been notable.
With three seasons of eligibility left, Overton’s visit to Oklahoma holds significance, especially considering his roots in Oklahoma City and his previous success in high school and prep ranks. This potential recruitment is a crucial opportunity for Oklahoma to secure a talented player amidst ongoing roster changes.
In another realm, the latest CBS Sports 2024 NFL Mock Draft highlights significant moves, including a mega trade by the Dallas Cowboys and the projection of Georgia tight end Brock Bowers sliding to the Kansas City Chiefs as the 32nd overall pick. The mock draft anticipates a quarterback-heavy early selection, with players like Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake Maye expected to go within the top picks. Notably, the projection suggests Bowers’ potential fall to the end of the first round due to limited on-field activity since the season’s end. This surprising scenario raises questions about the future dynamics of the NFL Draft and individual player trajectories.
