Overtime Elite is back. Well, in fact, it never went anywhere—it simply pivoted. Rather than housing and educating athletes based out of the Atlanta compound, OTE has still maintained its eight-team league with a home base of the gorgeous OTE Arena in Midtown Atlanta.
Mainstays such as Dynamic Prep (Faze), Moravian Prep (YNG Dreamerz), and Calvary Christian (Fear of God) join new faces Southeastern Prep (RWE), CIA Bella Vista (City Reapers), Woodstock Academy, Christopher Columbus High School, and Coronado to fill out the franchises in the league. Scouts, players, fans, and coaches alike all got a glimpse of the 2026-27 OTE campaign with the OTE Pro Day.
With well over 50 Division I coaches and NBA executives in attendance, Overtime Elite (OTE) Pro Day brought no shortage of competitive nature among the group. While playing for keeps in live games, the players were also cheering one another on during drills because they wanted everyone to get their shine. The opportunity to showcase their stuff in front of NBA decision-makers did not go unnoticed, either.
“They [OTE] brought me in here and helped me rise my stock. I made all OTE and was named the Most Underrated player,” four-star forward K’Nard Callendar said after the Pro Day. “This year, playing with Cayden [Daughtry], it’s going to raise the level of exposure playing with the No. 2-ranked player in the nation.”
Having already profiled the top seniors in depth as well as the junior standouts, here’s a look at six players who are still a bit under the radar that helped themselves in the eyes of NBA scouts at the Overtime Elite Pro Day:
K’Nard Callendar, 6’8″, PF, Fear of God, 2027
The winner of last season’s Most Underrated Player in OTE, K’Nard Callendar firmly established himself as a potential high-major recruit at Pro Day. The bouncy forward had a 37-inch max vertical, played with a great level of activity, and was a constant threat as an offensive rebounder and a cutter.
Callendar told Ballislife that he has 16 offers now, but has visits planned for UCF, UAB, and Mississippi State in the future.
Matt Allen, 6’6″, SG/SF, YNG Dreamerz, 2027
A late bloomer, Matt Allen is the type of player who is going to be a potential late signing period gem for the Class of 2027. The super-strong swingman is a big-time athlete who plays with strength, is a rebounding presence from the perimeter, and can beat you baseline with his explosive first step.
Still wide open with his recruitment, Allen’s athleticism and versatility will make him a hot commodity to any Division I program.
Aiden Groce, 6’1″, PG, RWE, 2027
A vastly underrated lead guard, Aiden Groce reminded everyone that there’s another playmaker for RWE at the OTE Pro Day. Playing alongside Beckham Black, the playmaker will be able to showcase his game both on and off the ball.
Playing for one of the nation’s most loaded squads at Southeastern Prep, Groce will show why he was a great get for Sam Houston State.
Jalen White, 6’7″, SF/PF, City Reapers, 2027
A player who has been producing for a while, Jalen White proved that he could get it done from either forward spot at Overtime Elite Pro Day. The Vegas native was able to make an impact with his length, surprised many with his 38.5-inch max vertical, and made an astounding 90% of his pull-up jumpers from the perimeter.
With a blend of both mid- and high-major offers, White will have to ultimately decide between receiving more playing time and a bigger bag in terms of his college decision.

Overtime Elite @Gatorade Pro Day
Physical gifts + flashes of shot making were hard not to notice from Jalen. 28/45 in drills from 3pt line + converting jumpers OTD + athletic finishes at the rim in 3v3 play. Versatility defensively popped, making plays with length and mobility. Showed a role as an impactful 3&D player with upside to grow into.

Malachi Booker, 6’6″, SF/PF, Diamond Doves, 2027
One of the players I hadn’t seen a ton of leading into the event, Malachi Booker showed serious upside at OTE Pro Day. The Houston native showed a great first step with his baseline drives, had just as many dunks as anyone with his quick leaping ability, and surprised many with his 76% spot-up 3-point shooting.
Still open with his recruitment, Booker will have plenty of opportunities to shine his senior season in Vegas.
Precious Sam, 6’11″, C, RWE, 2027
The most physically imposing player at the Overtime Elite Pro Day was undoubtedly Precious Sam, a massive big man from Nigeria. The big man utilized his 7-foot-5 wingspan to wall up against defenders, set brutal screens, and was good at rebounding his area.
There is still plenty of work to do with Precious on the offensive end, but his sheer size and willingness to accept a role make him a hot commodity in the college game for programs that need true fives.
