Have we ever lost a commit that turned out to be great or had us as final 2 and that guy ended up great?
Who are they?If I recall correctly both Teddy Bridgewater and Denard Robinson, both from Fl, had us in the final two.
Not many. Most turned out to be mediocre, quit school, road the pine for their whole careers, or transferred.Have we ever lost a commit that turned out to be great or had us as final 2 and that guy ended up great?
JJP couldn't get in to UCF because of grades. He is dumb, like real dumb. Like so dumb he would hold onto a firework while it was going off dumb.Jason Paul Pierre
Not sure about great successes. There are a lot of cases like JJ Worton's brother, CJ. Was a 3 star WR recruit with an offer from all the Florida schools. Will be a senior next year and has barely seen the field at UF with 10 career receptions. When you go someplace that can get three 4 star WR recruits every cycle expect to sit, especially if you pick up a couple nagging injuries. He would've been about our 2nd highest rated recruit that cycle regardless of position.
We made a hard late push to keep Paxton Lynch local, if I remember correctly. He stuck with Memphis and was a high NFL draft pick.
that was a dumb move by CJ. You would think JJ screwing up(and having a lot of fun) and doing what he did at UCF that he would just follow him here. Even with all his screwups he had the chance to be a New England Patriot.Not sure about great successes. There are a lot of cases like JJ Worton's brother, CJ.

Artavis Scott(Clemson) considered UCF but I don't remember how serious it was & if he had us in the Final 2-3. He's played well there.
There was 1 player from Armwood HS(near Tampa) if I remember that was highly ranked, teased UCF but eventually committed to the Gators & was never heard from again.
What hurts more is guys who had an excellent chance of doing well here and moving on to the NFL flunking out in the big very competitive programs before they can grow as college starters.
Weren't we in a recruiting battle for Calvin Pryor?
We had Bortles, so things turned out pretty well for us. Our push was too little too lateWe made a hard late push to keep Paxton Lynch local, if I remember correctly. He stuck with Memphis and was a high NFL draft pick.
Yes. He was mediocre at Tennessee and really would have put up some good numbers for UCF in 2014. Dumb move.Pig Howard comes to mind
Pig Howard and Mcduffie were brothers?You're thinking of Alvin Bailey (https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/24366). Yep he hasn't done a thing at Florida. Same goes for Pig Howard (Quincy McDuffie's little brother) . He got into some off field trouble, and flamed out of Tennessee. Coulda been great here!
Different dads it seems.
How about the headache that was Demarcus Smith. 4 Star QB that signed but never made it to campus. Had a few season at Western Kentucky before transferring to North Texas this past year. Never lived up to all the hype he once had.

Correct.
Also, if Lynch signed with UCF...odds are Charlie Taaffe would have stuck around for the 2015 season too.
He actually made it to campus as well. He and Fluellen were here for Summer. How did he end up leaving? Did he not qualify? GOL wasn't letting him out of his LOI.How about the headache that was Demarcus Smith. 4 Star QB that signed but never made it to campus.
