I mean, money is money. What’s the difference, a school with more money than us offered him a bag and he took it. Can’t blame him…
Now…in theory, even our broke school should have some money to spend.
Thiam had to be set to get the largest NIL deal on the roster heading into next season. Now that he’s moving on, that should free up more cash to use on some players that have been a little more productive and highly thought of than the ones we’ve been bringing in. You would think, right?

No I think it just means the small amount of money we were paying him last year, will be used to cobble together another team of has-beens, wash-outs or below-average talent in route to another cellar-dwelling team for the 3rd/4th year a row.
UCF should sue this employee. His scope of employment did not digest his actions that he took.
Look earlier in this thread. We’ve been talking about this for a few days. Former assistant was shopping him around (while still working here)…
Man. Just imagine the student section when he comes back to Orlando. We take their football players, they take our basketball players.
Cincinnati Adds Commitment From Big 12 Transfer Center
Arguably the best player Cincinnati's added so far.

The national champs are even having to deal with this transferring to rivals bullshit.
Gators guard Denzel Aberdeen transfers to longtime SEC rival
A reserve on the national championship team from Dr. Phillips, he averaged 7.7 points in 19.8 minutes per game last season.

He who has and pays gets. High school recruiting really doesn't matter anymore. raise all the $$ you can, then go shopping.
And quit blaming the players. They are doing exactly what they should do. Chasing the $$$. Many of them will make more money before turning 21 than the rest of their lives.

Saying HS recruiting doesn’t matter anymore is coping.
UCF can’t have it both ways. They can’t act like Broke U and bargain shop in the portal, while also bringing in ZERO HS recruits in this class.
Maybe the portal matters more to some programs (more so than others) that have $. But D. Johnson, Taylor Hendricks, and Thiam all came to UCF from HS. That’s three of the top 3-4 players we’ve had in the program in the last half decade. We’re getting very little out of the portal (I’m wasn’t a fan of K. Hall), seems unacceptable to also give up on HS recruits too.
Would be a nice add, from the Orlando area. I know UCF was in contact last year. Might be too expensive, probably.
Who knows at this point, smh.
Interesting one here. Freeman was dismissed from the team at ASU this past season (conduct detrimental). Arizona State HC is Bobby Hurley, who played at Duke (connection with Dawkins). Does that help or hurt the likelihood of this happening.
Don’t love that UCF has become second chance U. But at least Freeman can really play, unlike reclamation projects M. Williams, Dior Johnson, etc. Freeman has quite the impressive collegiate resume.
Meanwhile, Mikey Williams is planning his next double shooting.
Eventually bringing on these types of young men will backfire on Dawkins.
If he joins us, built in chemistry can't hurt...and hopefully his dismissal is a thing of the past...we'll see. Here's some discussion about him from an ASU podcast after his dismissal... https://www.whas11.com/video/sports...ball/535-e12a3cf5-6645-4373-888a-9341068a23a8

Freeman is what this roster desperately needs.
22 points against Baylor, 26 vs UCF, 21 at Texas Tech, 21 vs TCU this past season.
Scored 20+ points THIRTY times from 2022-2024 at Milwaukee, including a handful of 30+ point games.
You would at least have some legitimate proven starters in Fulks, Kugel, Freeman, and Stillwell to build around…Get it done!

Not really. Potential, I guess. Definitely not proven (like I said above).
Ask and you shall receive. Got a commitment from Carmelo Pacheco today, arguably one of the best outside shooters in the country last season!

I assume this last sentence of the article had a lot to do with him signing to a team in Utah.
"he is the twin brother of Utah Jazz forward Taylor Hendricks, who was selected ninth overall in the 2023 NBA Draft."
