.... trashed our players for the glory-hole of other teams so they have been ignored for awhile.
Shark, because you have me on ignore, I hope someone reposts what I reply here so you will be able to see it.
Of all the players I 'trashed" only two remain. Redshirt seniors
Patrick Barnett and
Jordan Davis are the only Knights who have not played a significant down in three-plus years at UCF.

I have no problem with Gabriel Davis's little brother being on the team. He is a legacy and a visible reminder of contributions of his big bro in Jacksonville.
From a strictly football perspective, however, UCF has
several walk-ons, including Kam Ingram (Bethune-Cookman), Keeron Henderson (Army), Quentin Hatch (Lake Erie College), Keshaun Hudson, Hudson Gibbs, Nicholas Antoine, and Terrell Jackson (Air Force commit), who ON FILM are deserving of a scholarship than Jordan Davis.
I cannot fathom why Barnett is on the team. I have wondered whether his parents are the biggest boosters in UCF history or if he walked in on Gus and a co-ed or if he (as the one of the best academic students on the team) is driving up program's Annual Progres Rating and getting Gus a year-end bonus, which is stipulated in his contract.
If I was a UCF reporter, who get to ask limited questions at press conferences, I would use my ONE QUESTION to ask Gus,
"Why in the H*LL is this guy on the team?"
It is UNJUSTIFIABLE to waste even one scholarship on a team that is trying to compete for a CFP spot.
I love this UCF roster and want to see this team to live up to its full potential. That's keeping it 💯!
