I'm trying to understand our bball recruiting with the coaching change.

We start on 11/20/2015 with 3 commits

http://www.ucfknights.com/news/2015/11/20/Jones_Signs_Three_Stars.aspx

None of those three are on the roster.

Then we have 2 players transfer: Justin McBride & Adonys Henriquez

Now we have 7 new players on our roster: Nick Banyard; Nathan Laing; Aubrey Dawkins; Dayon Griffin; Rokas Ulvydas; Terrell Allen; Brock Stephenson; Ceasar DeJesus. (2 or 3 maybe walkons)

I've only seen Nick Banyard play of the new additions.

Can someone summarize and fill in the gaps?

TIA

- Dawkins let all three of the previously signed recruits out of the LOIs so none of them ended up enrolling.
- Aubrey Dawkins; Dayon Griffin; Rokas Ulvydas; Terrell Allen I believe are all transfers that have to sit out a year.
- Nick Banyard was a fifth year player that already graduated so was able to transfer and play immediately.
- Ceasar Dejesus I believe is an incoming freshman recruit that Dawkins signed that has not been cleared by NCAA.
- Nathan Laing (graduate assistant with a year of eligility left) and Brock Stephenson are walk-ons.

Thanks, good stuff.

Any word on when we get an NCAA decision on Caesar DeJesus?

BJ looked gassed in the 2nd half of the Nova game. He is averaging 34mins a game. Would be great to be able to give BJ a break.

And our record is 3-1. Looks good so far. Yes, depth is going tone an issue this year but the product on the court looks so much better.

Don't forget Mumin who's a Junior and played 20 minutes against Villanova. Hit a 3 (1 for 4 on season), 4 rebounds, a big, muscled shooting guard but no fast enough to defends those quick players or for ball handling.
BJ played all 40 minutes. All but Tacko plays about 35 minutes each game. Even Tacko all ready at the 27 minute goal Dawkins had for him.
Brown is a fouling machine against a class team like 'Nova, but normally replaces Fall credibly on defense.
Nobody knows when or if Caesar will be approved to play this year. What a break that could be for us!
