Once again, another talented group of visitors will be on West End for official visits, here is the skinny on each below:


- High-profile prospect no doubt. Smith had mentioned Vanderbilt as a school of interest back in late April. Now, the Commodores will get the Rivals250 product on campus and try to sell him on becoming a part of their program. Of course, Miss. State and Ole Miss are teams to watch with Smith and he's also being pursued by Georgia, Texas A&M, and Florida as well. Vandy getting Smith on campus is a pretty big deal.


- Starks visited in the spring and returned last weekend where he picked up an offer with a stellar camp performance. A quick turnaround return trip to West End this weekend probably means commit watch. I've already put in my FuturCast pick for the Commodores to land him.


- Pimpton doesn't have an offer from Vanderbilt, at least one that he's announced publicly. Regardless, he's coming in for an official visit which means the coaching staff likes him and an offer will likely happen. If it does, wouldn't be surprised to see the 6-foot-5, 220-pound prospect commit pretty quickly. Seems Vandy likes the Texas native as a TE.


- Cojoe already has an TCU official under his belt in May. Vanderbilt will get their shot at wowing the 5.7, 3-star prospect this weekend and swaying him away from the Lone Star State. An official visit with Texas lingers for Cojoe at the end of the month, where many are projecting he'll end up.


- After hosting Jaren Woods last weekend, Vanderbilt will host another talented DT prospect. Thomas camped at Oklahoma last week, but didn't pick up an offer from the Sooners. He recently tweeted that a commitment was coming soon. The only OV he has scheduled for now is with Vanderbilt, so one would assume that the Commodores could be in the driver's seat here. We'll see how things play out this weekend, but don't be surprised if some good news happens with Thomas.


- Looks to be a battle between Vandy and Rutgers for the edge rusher out of Maryland. Those two programs are the biggest offers for Udeogu so far, who also has offers from various MAC, C-USA, and Ivy League programs along with Army and Air Force. The Scarlet Knights will get their shot with Udeogu on June 20th.


- Alexander returns to West End after visiting Vandy back on April 8th and committing to the Commodores just five days later. It seems Alexander is very solid to Vanderbilt. As a junior, he rushed for 2,242 yards and scoring 28 touchdowns. He also has the versatility to catch the ball out of the, tallying 129 yards receiving and two scores.
