We've had some good point guards at UCF, BJ being the last one. Since his last season, 2018-2019, we're into our 3rd season with disappointing PG play. It's not only unacceptable, but Coach Dawkins was also a guard and should recognize it's time for a change. Since 18-19, our point guard position has been handed to a transfer from another school. In 18-19, if I recall, Taylor was main man at PG, with Junior Terrell Allen backing him up. (Why Allen left, I don't know). Dazon Ingram (Alabama) and Darius Perry (Louisville) followed Taylor. Backups, I think, have been Tony Johnson and Darius Johnson.
Now I get that PG is an important, pivotal position. You want a floor leader who won't turn the ball over, find the open man, drive the lane, and, in my opinion, lastly score. If your scoring guards aren't getting the ball from the PG often enough, they're gonna start pointing fingers. Taking off balance hero shots to enhance your NBA value doesn't seem to be team play to me. Discounting or disregarding the younger PG prospects in favor of mediocre transfer sends a bad message.
So if I see this, why can't Johnny (who I admire) see this? At what point does he turn to home grown point guard talent? I know the backup quarterback is usually the most popular player, but he recruited Darius Johnson. At this point, start the freshman Johnson at PG. I'm done with Perry.

This add value to the Big 12's future tv contract as conf games are usually more valuable to tv networks vs a 4th non-conf game (which are normally not attractive at all)

Watch Gabe Davis tear it up in the NFL and tell me that sock boy did not benefit from a superior supporting staff. Davis, Marlon, Nixon. Maybe when flash is back this game we can have a better judge of things.

Interesting events down south.

WPLG Local 10: Former FIU president points to ‘emotional entanglement’ with colleague as part of resignation.

They won't lineup against one another every down, but still a lil UCF intrigue there.

Maybe someone could take him inside the Bounce House which will be all lit up for the Hometown Hero Event and show him the Stadium Banner to see how he would react to it.

Mahomes is absolutely insane.

Thoughts?? Would he be a good fit for Malzahn's offense?

With some past UCF road games on turf...some games it looked like some defenders were sliding on skates (like at SMU) and/or some offensive players couldn't get a good grip to cut.

Here's a look at home most of UCF's road games in the Big 12 will be played on the fake stuff.

Iowa State: Grass
TCU: Grass
BYU: Grass
UCF: Grass

Kansas State: Turf
Oklahoma State: Turf
Texas Tech: Turf
Kansas: Turf
Baylor: Turf
WVU: Turf
Cinci: Turf
Houston: Turf

Note: If they happen to stay in the conf for a year or two longer than expected:
Oklahoma: Grass
Texas: Turf

Memphis just lost to SMU.

Lee Hunter, a defensive tackle who was the highest-rated recruit in Auburn's 2021 recruiting class, announced Thursday he is transferring to UCF.

Hunter, who graduated from Blount High School in Mobile, Ala., reunites with former Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn whom he initially committed to in December 2019. Rated the nation's No. 121 overall prospect, No. 11 defensive tackle and No. 4 player in Alabama, Hunter also had offers from Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, LSU and many others coming out of high school.

As a senior, Hunter tallied 54 tackles, 20 TFL and 4.5 sacks on his way to first team All-State and an invitation to the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Game.

The 6-foot-4-321 pounder redshirted this past season under new Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin and will have all four seasons of eligibility remaining.

Hunter is a massive addition for the future of the Knights' defensive line with the potential to become an immediate impact player. Hunter joins fellow Auburn teammate Kobe Hudson in UCF's 2022 transfer class. Hudson was Auburn's No. 1 receiver this past season.

UCF's transfer class currently stands at nine players, all of whom are enrolled this spring:

OT Tylan Grable (Jacksonville State)
LB K.D. McDaniel (Kentucky)
LB Terrence Lewis (Maryland)
DB Koby Perry (Austin Peay)
QB John Rhys Plumlee (Ole Miss)
OT Ryan Swoboda (Virginia)
WR Kobe Hudson (Auburn)
TE Kemore Gamble (Florida)
DT Lee Hunter (Auburn)
