Just got over to UCF Arena for the upcoming basketball game vs. Houston, but I was able to catch up with a bunch of recruits immediately after the event, and made contacts to catch up with more guys in the coming days.
Gus Malzahn was not there. A couple recruits mentioned it, understanding the situation with his wife. One guy said they got a text from Gus. I'm not entirely sure if anybody was 100% planning to commit today, but I think if somebody was ready to do it, they'd probably want to hold off a little bit longer to make sure Gus was involved.
There will be a ton of interviews in the coming days, but two big nuggets from guys I've talked to already:
LB Troy Ford Jr. said UCF is now his No. 1 school. South Carolina is also up there, but the Knights are now on top. Really good kid, enjoyed talking with him.
OL Roderick Kearney said right now he's mostly focused on two schools - UCF and FSU. Those are his two favorites at the moment. He's got a great relationship with Herb Hand.

Other guys I spoke to: KJ Kirkland, Levontai "Bo" Summersett, Tray Tolliver, Bryce Harrison, Antonio Ferguson, Jalen Smith, Kaleb Cost, Sincere Edwards, D'Antre Robinson and Kaven Call.
I missed talking with the Harris twins, but hopefully can catch up with them later. Same for Goldie Lawrence.
Will hopefully catch up with more guys tomorrow.
