UCF MBB: NBA.com Mock Draft has Taylor Hendricks to Jazz at 25th

We have a show on New Year's Eve at Houston this year. That is going to be the biggest game of the year for UCF MBB

If this is a NCAA tournament caliber team, we may have to win this game.

Now after 7 games have been played, how good is this UCF MBB squad?

We have an easy two weeks schedule starting today because of Final Exams. But schedule is going to get tougher on the road vs Ole Miss and Missouri.

Darius Johnson and Taylor Hendricks are the stars of the team. We will go how far as long as they take us

i said it over and over again "This season could be sweet"!

So we will see. I haven't been this excited about UCF Sports for a long time. We have a Championship game this Saturday. And bring us the Cotton Bowl!

Go Knights! Charge On!

Best Christmas gift and/or UCF gear you received yesterday?

The older I get the more I appreciate the art of chill. Had my family over yesterday and it was the first Christmas I truly got joy from simply seeing the kids happy and a Hispanic household that was relaxed for the holidays LOL.

My nephew got his first serious UCF merch. He knows UCF as “Oh oh oh” as I’ve watched a few games with him this year and would blast Zombie Nation after touchdowns. Anytime he hears it he associates it with the Knights.

Sisters came in clutch with this UCF cold weather gear. They always find something I never thought would be possible with the supply chain issue woes that only seem to plague us. Thank you Sanford Cracker Barrel. Pardon the QAnon hand gesture and Derek Zoolander face.

Marching Knights departed

Tonight around 7PM . They are taking 9 charter buses nonstop for a 15 hour bus ride . It's my understanding they are staying at the sane hotel as the team. The MKs are true musicians riding the road on tour buses . 😆 Well except, the drugs and groupies and the luxury RV part of a tour bus , they are exactly like road house bands working it for a living . 😂..

  • Poll
Poll: George O'Leary heater gate

Did George O'Leary make the right call at Uconn

  • Yes, football is a tough sport and real men need to suck it up?

    Votes: 25 22.3%
  • No, that was wrong and probably added to the already bad game happening

    Votes: 87 77.7%

So John Rhys Plumblee was quoted in a pre bowl write up in the OS saying the game will be cold weather football and players, especially the qb (grip the ball etc..), need to come off the field and get warm between on field experiences.
Thinking about that comment, did George O'Leary make the right decision to remove those heaters second half in that Nov 2014 at Uconn game because he thought the players were not giving there all but instead cherishing those heaters on the sideline instead?

Claimed -Former UCF Women's Basketball Coach's Gear

Some of a former coach's UCF women's basketball gear made its way to me. I'm a men's large and these are all very close to fitting but usually just a little tight or fit awkwardly. I have 5 things, mostly light jackets and Nike. All in Great shape.

They're free for whoever would like to meet me in the Winter Park area.

Grading UCF's 2019 Recruiting Class: Hits and Misses

3-4 years is a good time frame to look back at those HS (or JUCO signees) from the "official" 2019 UCF Recruiting Class

HITS: (Multi-year starters and/or 1 year starter with other years as a solid backup)
QB Gabriel (5.7 recruit)
DE Tre-mon Morris Brash (5.7)
Guard: Lokahi Pauole (5.6)
LB Tatum Bethune (5.5)
WR ROK (5.5)
Center: Matt Lee (5.4 recruit)
LB Jeremiah Jean Baptiste (5.4)
DB Tay Gowan (5.4) - 1 year starter (sat out Covid year)

Misses:
DE Dallaz Corbitt (5.6)
DE Jalen Pinkney (5.6)
RB Damarius Good (5.6)
WR Jarrad Baker (5.6)
OL: Alan Adams (5.5)
WR: Justin Menard (5.5)
LB Raymond Cutts (5.5)
DE Kam'ron Green (5.4)
DL William Hancock (5.4)
DB James Tarver (5.4)
K Daniel Obarski (5.4)

Incomplete:
OL Adrian Medley (5.7) (injuries but could be a starter in 2023)
DL Keenan Hester (5.6) - Injuries but had bright spots in 2021
WR Amari Johnson (5..3) Depth then injuries...has a chance in 2023

All 3 of the top recruits (5.7) hit and/or have a chance to make an impact in 2023 because of injury.

Largest group of failures were the 2 star (5.4) group.

Add the hits and incompletes (11 players)...and its a 50% hit rate out of 22 signees...which is probably above average for a G5 program.
