Our message to recruits is simple

[Boston.Knight]

I mean seriously, if you were a kid who wanted a shot at the NFL, is there any better place? Some of our kids now in the league may have never even had the opportunity to play at some of those other schools.

Look at Ed Oliver how much love he's getting at Houston. I bet if he went to Auburn or UT, nobody would even know who he is.

This game will be great for recruiting

Unfortunately the message is you never stand a chance at winning the national championship but you can go undefeated

If we go undefeated next year we are in. We have 2 ACC teams on schedule. Can't say we don't play anyone but then say Clemson does.

Not playing Tech hurt the perception early. We still have a shot at a co-championship should Bama win out.

I've been at UCF fan for over 30 years I'm extremely happy...but you gotta admit I am right on this.

Wow. Did he really say that? Awesome!! Nice last words

I don’t mean this to be disrespectful. But the message should be the school and the current state of the program. NFL pitch doesn’t make since since its an entirely new staff coming in.

There's plenty of alums starting in the NFL that would beg to differ.

Those other players had proven staffs. O’Leary and Frost.

I think Heupel is a good fit. But unproven. Time will tell. You have a better chance of selling the program and season UCF had then NFL.

As far as a lot of people outside of the P5 we are the National Champions. We don't need the biased P5 cartel deciding the obvious.

Every school can sell NFL. Kareem Hunt went to Akron or something. I'd go where you can play from the start.

I’m not so sure that’s a huge sell. The truth is, the vast majority of all college football teams never stand a chance at winning the national championship. There’s a small number of dominant teams that stay at the top year end and year out. The goal for the vast majority of programs is getting into a great bowl at the end of the season, staying relevant, and WINNING. National Championships are obviously the pinnacle; but I’m not so sure that is a top seller to the majority of recruits.

We just won a National Championship.

here's the video of it, he spun the end of it selling his coaching staff at Nebraska but still nice words from him in his final presser for UCF. He's talked up the Campus ever since he stepped foot at UCF.

 

[Mikesi]

Basically he’s separating the 2 teams and recruits. He’s supporting them both, but separately. Technically they have some different recruiting targets than UCF.

 

[ucfversusbcs]

If the national championship was that important, most players would be going to FCS. Many of them just want to play and impress, accumulate footage and hope that the NFL is watching.

I don’t know the numbers but I’d guess 20-30% of NFL rosters come from G5 or other places. If you’re good. They’ll find you. There’s a kid on the Chargers from the College of Mining (in Colorado).

 

[firm_bizzle]

2 perfect seasons in 3 years!

UCF home games will usually have much more NFL scouts just bc of how accessible and easy it is to get to Orlando
