What are the chances we back away from Overton?

He certainly is a good player and I'd love to have him be that tall outside WR that Dabo covets, but he's an oversign guy a position where we're already loaded with studs. We might not have 6'5 guys, but Cain, Thompson, and Chase are all about 6'2 and can play on the outside.
We seem to have more pressing needs at other positions like OL, DL, and DB. With our scholarship situation so tight, would it make more sense to let him walk and use the oversign WR scholarship we had planned to use on him to bolster one of our weaker positions?

I assume you are talking golf but net? 7 iron for 184 yard shot? Why not an 8 iron?

Two points, first, I've got a decent game and unless I'm back in Colorado, I need a 6 iron to get home from anything 170-185. In fact, I'd probably rather choke down a half inch on a 5 and not worry about catching a 6 perfect from that distance.
Second, don't knock the Accord. It's a great car. I went Accord, Mercedes, Lexus, Acura TL, and now Camry. The only move I regret is the Camry, but I had a brain f@rt and thought it would be better to take two kids to school every day. If I don't go SUV, I'm going back to an Acura or Accord.

Why not trade it in for a Japanese truck? I drive a Ford truck but I wouldn't be ashamed to drive a tundra or something like it. But, a free car is a free car, I'm all about free stuff.

We play 3 or 4 WR on every play and with Overton
Jun 30, 2015, 1:34 PM

We will either have 8 or 9 WR on scholarship depending on Mike Williams. So no we need at least 8. We are not thin at DB or DT we have plenty of each. OL we are trying to even out the classes so we'll have 15 on scholarship, you don't want to bring I'm too many in one class.

None. We actually need WRs

We were running below the numbers we wanted at WR for the last few years, so if we're oversigning at WR (and I'm not sure that we are), it's a good thing.

No way we turn Overton away under any circumstance
Jun 30, 2015, 3:16 PM

Save a character issue. No one turns away players of his ability. He has the talent to be a bigger Hopkins with CJS coaching him up. I'd love for us to get him. Would just further affirm our status as WRU!

Need to take a hard look at Drake Davis. The Tigers can get him.

Sure we could use some help at defensive end and along the offensive line but our offense is designed for playmakers ay wide receiver. We have been very productive on offensive with a mediocre offensive line.

No matter what happens, Peake will be gone after the season, and if things go well for Mike Williams this year, he'll likely go to the draft. There's also the matter of Germone Hopper's lingering problems. We've got some great recruits coming in, but we've always got room for more.
