South Florida People - Brightline looks to be complete by end of year (Miami/Ft. Lauderdale/West Palm to Orlando)

Expecting first passengers in early 2023 - looks to be ready for UCF's first Big 12 season.

Anyone else been tracking this, I'm ready to not be doing that drive any more.

Brightline is a high speed train service for those that are unaware (3 hours from MIA). Projected price is $95/ticket

UCF ebay finds

I peek at ebay a couple times a week to see if interesting UCF stuff pops up. Figured since it's a little content-dry on the forum right now I'd share a few items I've found.



UCF practice bball jersey - if u got the arms for them this would be a great little summer tailgate item

UCF Shacket Collection - size L so definitely not out of CJH's private stash

UCF Jacket Collection - uses the white UCF logo.. athlete issued? was it a coach?

UCF booty shorts - @dali drama get those thighs popping

UCF pride dry fit - wear them with the booty shorts

Knights "Jersey" - is this practice apparel for soccer or something? It looks like it would be an athlete issued item?

Vintage baseball jersey

Team issued (?) peach bowl hoodie

some kind of wild ass vintage bball jersey

classy knights tee shirt

OT/Updated: FL BOG rejects Michigan's Santa Ono as new UF president

Heartbreaking story.

2025 Baseball Transfer Portal/Draft Tracker ⚾

Might as well start this now. I assume we see a few guys are going to hit the portal.

I’m going to split guys into what I personally think is likely to happen for most contributors that could come back.

Might get drafted:

Jimenez (I would be shocked if he is a knight last year)
Ross (I think he stays if he doesn’t get drafted high)

Likely staying :

Williamson
Sosnowski
Gray
King
Sandefer
Sauser
Siegel
Wicker

Either way :

Rodriguez
Krewson
Espinal
Schoneboom
Rivera
Kozera
Calise

Likely gone :

Stone
Smith
Almonte
Maduro

Obviously I didn’t cover everyone, but IMO the most imperative positions to grab via the portal is SS (I don’t think Jimenez is back next year hope I’m wrong), 2 corner IF, 2 starter worthy OF, and a complete revamp of the bullpen outside of maybe Sosnowski and Schoneboom. Maybe a top end starter too especially if one of the sophomores leave.

When does it open for our guys? I see there are dudes entering already including a couple guys that might be highly touted.

***LB Kymani Morales commits to UCF (interview added)***

Plantation (Fla.) American Heritage linebacker Kymani Morales
is UCF's second commitment in the 2026 class, announcing his decision on Saturday night.

A team captain and tackling machine, Morales racked up 112 stops during his junior season playing for one of the state's premier high school program. He was among the early targets of Scott Frost's new staff, receiving his offer in late January.

"Everything started off with Coach Brandon Harris," Morales said. "He came down to our school in January, telling me how interested he was and how I'd be a great fit at UCF. They really started to catch my eye then.

"Then I got in contact with Coach (Mark) D'Onofrio, the linebackers coach. He would text me like every day, every week. He started to text my parents and built a relationship with them too, not just with me. That's what I look for in coaches. I look for relationships outside of football, so not just as players and coaches.

"I look at it as a family and that's how I felt about UCF. They showed me the kind of love that nobody else showed me."

Despite having never set foot on UCF's campus, Morales felt confident he was ready to make this decision.

"My parents and I have been talking about committing," Morales said. "I told them that I felt UCF was the one showing real love and they both felt UCF was the right place for me too. So I texted Coach D and said I was ready to lock it in. We talked on the phone a few minutes later and made it official.

"I am getting up there soon. I'm planning to visit on April 5 and then we've already set our official visit for May 31 to June 2."

American Heritage captured the Class 4A State Championship last season. Of his 112 tackles, 52 were solo and he also forced two fumbles.

"I'm very twitchy and aggressive," Morales said. "I can be fast and very aggressive at all times."

Morales, who had about a dozen offers, said he also strongly considered Kentucky, FAU and South Florida.

"I'm very excited to be a Knight," Morales said. "I'm ready to show everybody what I got."
