Doug Mcdermott recruiting story: UCF

UCFStan
Listening on the latest Ryen Russillo pod, he interviews Doug Mcdermott about his recruiting visit to UCF; starts with Marcus Jordan picking him up in his all white Range Rover and taking around town. One story was Marcus took his entire laundry bin to the dry cleaner as a college kid, t-shirts and all and just dropped it off lol. He said he wanted to commit to UCF after the trip because Marcus took him out and got him to clubs and basically big-timed him to impress him. But, his dad was offered the Creighton job shortly later and the rest is history.

Good listen if you have time today.

***Edgewater four-star RB Cedric Baxter Jr. has 'amazing' visit to UCF***

UCF welcomed one of the best players in Florida to campus on Wednesday.

Cedric Baxter Jr., a Class of 2023 running back from Edgewater High School, spent last Saturday participating in UCF's 7-on-7 tournament but wanted to return as soon as possible for the full unofficial visit experience.

He spent the entire morning and early afternoon touring the school and athletic facilities.

"(Running backs) Coach (Tim) Harris, (assistant running backs) Coach Kam Martin and R.J. Harvey showed me around," Baxter said.

R.J. Harvey, a star quarterback at Edgewater in the Class of 2019, spent his freshman season at Virginia and before transferring to UCF last summer. He was one of the standouts of spring practice and scored two touchdowns in the spring game.

"I didn't get to play with R.J. but we're real tight," Baxter said. "We talk on the daily. R.J. said he loves it there. He said I should really consider UCF because it's nice being close to home."

What did Baxter like the most?

"The main thing that stood out was the atmosphere," Baxter said. "It was just a real good, real cool vibe. Everybody was real cool. The people were great."

That obviously includes Harris and Malzahn, who Baxter is continuing to build a relationship with.

"I've been talking to Coach Harris for a while," Baxter said. "We talk every week, so it was cool to finally see him face to face. It was nice meeting Coach Malzahn too. I know he's accomplished so much. I think he's the only coach in college football to beat Nick Saban three times."

Baxter got a pretty nice compliment as well.

"Coach Malzahn was telling me about a running back he had at Auburn, Kerryon Johnson, and said that I remind him so much of him. That was cool. I already knew about him and saw him play, so I know how good he was."

Baxter, who was previously committed to Florida State, has a long list of offers that include Auburn, Florida, Georgia Tech, Miami, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech and many others.

"UCF is very high on my board," Baxter said. "Always have been."

As an Orlando native, Baxter said he's always had a lot of respect for the hometown team.

"They know how to win," he said.

He has a busy month ahead with visits planned to Georgia Tech (June 10), Florida State (June 13), Florida (June 14), Texas (June 15), Texas A&M (June 16) and LSU (June 17).

Anyone Connected to UCF Rowing?

Nautiknight
Hey Yall:
Getting old can be tough and I mountain bike and I indoor row on a Concept 2 RowERG machine several times a week.

I follow Dark Horse Rowing on You Tube by Shane Farmer. He did a great explanation on the sport in the Olympics . In his video he has a Navy crew shirt hanging in the back and explains how in the history of Rowing often has a bet where teams bet jerseys .

He then asks for folks to send a team jersey to him and they will be featured In his videos.

So, how can we get UCF crew to get a jersey out to Dark Horse Rowing ?
