Highest Rivals rated player ever for UCF?

[ucfjosh2000]

Is Wimbush the highest rated player we've ever had? 4-star, 6.0 rating, ranked 60th best player in the nation out of high school. I know rankings don't mean everything, but I couldn't think/find of another player rated higher than him coming out of high school.

Football only?

Canton Kaumatule was a 5 star that never played a down.

Daunte would have been somewhere around there. I know we have had a few 5.8s.

What ever happen to him? Can he play next year?

Had reoccurring concussions. Sounded like he became more prone to them and they persisted for long lengths of time. I believe he has to stop playing football altogether. Somebody clarify if this is incorrect.

Really hope he's doing better now.

I had classes with a rugby player who couldn't read or write for several weeks after a concussion and ended up having to take two semesters off.

Injuries.

He was in all of the NC parades though.

Brandon Wimbush will be the highest rated player (recruit wise) we”ve ever had to play a down for UCF football

Dont hate. He might have had a reaction to all the activities.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

The boys need to compete and settle on the field.

Starter or backup, I expect wimbush to get snaps in 2019.

I thought Storm Johnson was a 5 star ranked like the 40th national recruit, but could be wrong.

 

[Happy Hands]

ESPN reranked Milton's class and had him as the 20th best player for that year. Does that count?

Good job. Storm was a 5.9!

106 in the Nation and the 7th best RB. Although many other recruiting sites had him higher

Good catch and he’s very close
Storm Johnson was 5.9 rivals and .9792(247)
Brandon Wimbush 6.0 rivals and .9792(247)

Identical on 247, so it’s really pick ur poison but Wimbush at least tied for 1st top rated player. So tied for top player or better depending on which recruit sites u value more... forgot storm was that highly rated good call

What about Mr Richardson and his announcement from space

5.8
Same as josh Reese, torrian Wilson, Trevor Elbert to name a few.

 

[SkiDog291]

Chad Mascoe and Demarcus Johnson?

Pre-rivals days, but Marquette Smith might have been the top recruit in the whole country.

Good call.

This guy was probably like a 6.2

He probably would have been a decent NFL RB if he didn’t get hurt so early.
