Plano (Tex.) John Paul II offensive lineman Caden Kitler committed to UCF on Wednesday to become the Knights' fifth overall pledge in the 2022 class.

Kitler, who had been favoring UCF since he was offered in March, visited campus this past weekend. He raved about the coaching staff and academic program among other things in an interview Monday with UCFSports.com.

His other finalist was Boise State, where he had visited just prior to UCF. He also took an official visit to Memphis earlier in the month.

UCF is recruiting Kitler to play center.

Kitler joins a commitment list that also includes fellow offensive lineman Miguel Maldonado, quarterback Thomas Castellanos, defensive lineman Jamaal Johnson and wide receiver Tyler Griffin.

Abortion is justice.


Yes. That unborn baby needs to be brought to justice and by killing it you are conducting an act of love. Chop that little fvcker up because he deserves it and you love him.

June was a heavy visit month as it was the first face-to-face recruiting time following the pandemic restrictions. That month yielded the bulk of UCF's existing 2022 class as many of the eventual commitments visited officially. Others, like RB Jordan McDonald, visited a couple times unofficially.

With the regular season complete and an eye towards early signing day on Dec. 15 - and looking at potential January enrollees for transfers - visits are back on again.

UCF is expecting two, possibly three players this weekend.

DT Khurtis Perry

The big name is Montgomery (Ala.) Pike Road four-star defensive tackle Khurtiss Perry. With Gus and T-Will's Auburn ties, Perry already has a longstanding relationship with those coaches. T-Will had an in-home visit with him earlier this week. He visited UCF back in June, but unofficially. His top five includes Alabama, Auburn, Clemson and Texas. There is a widespread belief Alabama is the team to beat.

OT Tylan Grable - Link to Jax State bio

UCF is hoping to land an experienced offensive tackle from the Transfer Portal and there are very intriguing options from the FCS level with Jacksonville State's Tylan Grable at the top of the list. The Georgia native was an FCS All-American during the 2021 spring season and has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

RB Jordan McDonald

UCF RB commit Jordan McDonald is a possibility to come down, but not yet confirmed. His primary focus today is on Milton's playoff game against Walton, which kicks off at 8 p.m. McDonald visited UCF a couple times during the summer, but never officially. He would be a late arrival obviously if he does.

playoff money and legitimacy for Mike Aresco's AAC

GOL certainly didn't build the foundation all by himself (Gene McDowell deserves a lot of the early credit), but he was the most transformative in building and modernizing UCF into a nationally-respected program in almost every area possible (the team itself, support staff, academics, facilities, etc.).

Yeah, 2015 was 2015, but does UCF get in the Big 12 without him? While Scott Frost added perhaps the most-important piece in KZ, does UCF have the success they did in 2017-18 without the key GOL recruits?

Why is December 8 "GOL Day?"

December 8, 2003 - UCF hires GOL
December 8, 2013 - GOL and UCF accept Fiesta Bowl invitation

Thanks, Coach.

Is anyone else getting an “access denied” notice when trying to purchase tickets through UCF for the bowl game?

This guy pokes fun at all Big 12 schools, and he's already produced "orientation videos" for BYU, Cincy, and Houston. Now it's our turn to be roasted. I had a feeling he would choose TCU Fan to be our guide, as he really loves picking on TCU.

Haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but I've been waiting for him to drop this one.

Both her dad and uncle played D1 bball, her uncle at usf. Grandfather is local coaching legend. This family lives and breathes bball.

Tavares Elston, who is from the Mobile, Ala. area, was getting minimal P5 interest until the new Texas Tech staff offered him and he committed this past weekend following an OV. Now UCF offers today.

I've seen this kid talk about UCF quite a lot and has come on visits but doesn't seem to have gotten an offer. Would anyone know why not?

Cliffs:

UCF 39 (2nd Highest G5)
FSU 11
Cincinnati 28 (Highest G5)
Boise 52
Miami 58
Florida 76
usf 83

Stanford & Rutgers are surprisingly high
Rest of American (Houstand and Tulane are decent-in 60s) is terrible. Houston 89!

Obviously a lot of this will change between now and the start of the 2022 season.

Surprised this hadn't been posted yet but this is a big get for UF. He is credited for building DBU so this will be a big boost for them recruiting DBs. Been on staff since 2012 with Les Miles.

...........we really could use Bowser and Big Kat

I liked his reasoning on making Conf Championship Games count/mean even more...as the only way to earn a Top 4 bye is to win your Conf Championship Game.

This year...would be tough luck for UGA but they would still "host" a 1st Round Game....and the ND vs Ohio State 1st Round Game would be juicy. (I also like that ND would never earn a Top 4 seed since they will never be a future Conf Champion. Note: ND had a chance to win the ACC Championship Game last year but lost in their only appearance due to non-conf games being cancelled).

told you nerds to stop tweeting at high school kids, would you?
