unlikely because he will get good money from other P4 schools, say <10% chance
We will get someone out of the portal, but accepting a visit from Morris probably means we will go cheap.

Just depends on money. I’m not saying the roster couldn’t benefit from bringing in a QB, but I can’t really justify paying anyone at QB KJ-type offers this cycle (not saying Nelson gets that, but just in general).
This team lost four starting OL, a starting TE, and 100% of their production at WR.
The offense is in complete rebuild mode. I’d rather use the money to bring in a few lineman before I worry about any other positions on offense.

When you win 4 games, it should be a rebuild. Colorado did a complete rebuild and was better than us going full steam with a 4 year coach. How embarrassing.
I cringe a little when people bring up Colorado’s ‘rebuild’. I mean, their rebuild involved two of the top-ten players in the country.
I don’t think it’s fair to bring up Colorado. Frost isn’t bringing a son who is a top-10 pick at QB with him.
33 starters. His son is one of them. A good college player but won’t be great in NFL. Not as a QB anyway.
The reason why you have to have a pretty good backup is because if something happens to risk or if something happens to the starter risk goes in. I know that's Captain Obvious but I don't know if jacurri can do it
Tbh im not sure why jacurri didnt follow gus the bust. Maybe gus figured out he sucks
Brown seems smarter than TC. Gus will keep switching guys unless you golf with him like JRP. FSU will use at least 2 but probably 3 QBs as starters next year. Then he gets fired and gets his buy out. Which I think was the point in hiring him and signing a 3 year deal in first place.
The longer this goes, the more chance we have I guess. There are just 3 guys left unsigned that have 4 star transfer grades (90 or above). Nelson is among a big group of unsigned guys with a transfer grade of 85.
BTW, Mikey Keene commits to Michigan.....not sure that works out for him.

At this point, this kid is going into year three with 20 career pass attempts (zero TDs). What am I missing?
It’s not like anyone has actually seen him play. This is just based on stars from over two years ago? Again, what am I missing? There were/are tons of QBs around the country available, why have we been posting/talking about this particular one?

GOL correctly used to say if folks are transferring, why couldnt they cut it at their previous school?
Maybe somewhat true but only when applied to those who truly left for a bag. Alot of kids are transferring because they couldnt make the two deep
EJ Colston
Most transfer because of playing time or their coach left. If it’s playing time, there could be a reason. Then we wonder why we have 4 wins using other teams castoffs.
But it is the game we have to play since we are losing some of our best players every year.
I saw nonstop booms. For 3 straight years. That’s why I don’t get excited because a guy commits. He may not play or just leave a year later. But if you are supposed to be this great recruiter with booms, just plug in your HS recruit when a guy leaves. He didn’t like hus HS recruits it seemed. He wanted Transfer guys. They sucked.
Until you actually see the BOOM player in his first 2 or 3 games, you really can't say boom. It was amazing how wrong or watered down gus' reports on player performance was.
People are still excited now with Frosts recruits. I’m waiting for the games.
Agree although i have noticed that frost isnt feeding into the hype machine these players are used to coming out of hs. It’s much more business-like with CSF
Not just on here. X and Discord, every signing except a couple they were going crazy. No one knows HS very much. They go off of ratings. Most transfers no one has seen play but they are acting like it’s a huge get. Same with Gus. Wow look at this guy we just got. Dude doesn’t play and transfers. I’ll just wait. At least in AAC people waited for games. Now they want to win the offseason like Miami.
I honestly think gus was lazy and didnt scout. He recruited based on whatever 247 or rivals said
He may not have. But people in here were saying BOOOM!!! Like they knew we got a great player and we’re going to win.
Our QBs brought in from portal were underwhelming but maybe the offense we run and former QBs we have on staff can help them be good. I’m just in wait and see mode. I don’t care what happens next year. Year 2 we need to be near top of B12.
Exactly. We lost our edge and brand during the Malzahn era. Winning was our culture, especially at home. Lost Gabriel, started losing bad games (Navy twice, ECU, Louisville at home, blew that huge lead to Baylor at B12 home opener, etc.).
We lost our culture, replaced it with Boom culture online. Seemed like our fans started caring more about what was happening online than what was happening on the field. Would love to get away from that as well.
(I do share things from X when kids commit, I do want to see us build up depth so we can at least be somewhat competitive next season. I pay a lot of money for tickets, I don’t want to see a bunch of blowouts. But you are correct, my expectations begin beyond next season).
Much of what you guys are saying comes down to managing expectations. Gus built up hype around players for it only to fall flat. Having been a UCF fan since the 80s I tend to look at each season start with optimism but with a tinge of reality. Meaning you don't really know the team until about 3rd or 4th game. I only went into 2018 as the season where I thought UCF won't be stopped. I had ridiculous good vibes about that team. We all did.
In college football it ALL starts with your QB and offensive line. So, I appreciate Frosts low key approach here. It's better to under promise and over deliver. This Knight fan just doesn't get too high in the off season because we have too many seasons as UCF fans where the off season hype just hits the bar room floor with a thud with lack luster on field play.

This really started the last 2 years of Heupel.
His recruiting outside of QB and WR was really horrible and we were rotting away from the inside
UCF owes Gus a huge debt of gratitude for excommunicating the Hype_L holdovers (i.e., chicken eaters).
