Recruiting Update Thread

Beckton did not want to stay at UCF. He is quoted as saying he went to Nebraska because Scott Frost is "the real deal". A man in love will not be denied the object of his affection.

"Real deal" article to share with anyone who hadn't read it.

Heard from a reliable source today that Tevin Griffey, a cornerback from Dr Philips HS, and the son of Ken Griffey junior is seriously considering UCF

would our coaches have any interest?

I doubt it. He couldn’t even do anything.

 

[muckdawg24]

Id say we're pretty deep at WR

 

[hemightbejeremy]

Our top 2 2020 commits are WR. Also already have a transfer WR next year with Robinson. But you never know.

 

[Knight Strength]

Save that scholarship for a lineman

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

Once he passed us over for Texas I told him on Twitter he made a mistake. He’s just now realizing it.

Tre Nixon did nothing at Ole Miss and has been good at times albeit inconsistent at UCF

Was Nixon there 3 or 4 years? Not sure what Pouncey was waiting for.

Perhaps inconsistent by UCF standards but a solid conference top 10 in yds, TDs, and Yds/Reception and #2 on the team

Rebuild the clown car. Always more room if he's talented.

I found a way to find upcoming visits. Go to google and search (with quotes) “officially visits UCF Knights”, and adjust the search time frame to last week, month, etc. Also click, repeat search results with omitted results to see some that don’t pop up...Looks like we have a top uncommitted CB coming for the game vs usf

The track guys are going to love this one. Future QB Mike Wright has cheat code speed.

He’ll fit in perfectly

 

[Ucfmikes]

Geez. He ran a 10.97 100 meters. That’s faster than Wimbush

so hypothetical: if Jeff Sims loses interest in FSU with Taggart gone do the coaches drop Mike for him?

At one point (after Mike Wright comitted) I heard we were considering adding another QB this class. Seemed odd to me but I don't know how they manage scholarships/roster.

I would say no, but who knows

 

[Poolside Knight]

I would say no, but who knows

it will be interesting if DG's emergence effects QB recruiting in a negative way but I guess you can spin it as a positive too.

speaking of DG I saw Brandon RT a pic of him at Breakfast with the first string WRs so I think he's won the locker room if there was any split at the beginning

Him throwing dimes 30 yards down field won over the locker room

Wright looks like he could use the RS year to hit the weight room a bit. Intriguing height/speed combo.

You are right he was no stand out at Ole Miss but I think he is playing really well for us. He is no more inconsistent than DG.

Agreed

This kid Dillion Gabriel was KZs HS backup......Allegedly KZ is talking him up in a big way to our coaching staff. Lebby is now following him on twitter. Folks are referring to him as KZ 2.0.......Unfortunately he is already committed to Army so it is time for the staff to work with KZ and change his mind.

Just did a search as to when the first Dillion Gabriel post would pop up on our board.

I think rivals search is limited to 4 pages so here is the first that I could find dati g back to early Sept 2018 by @JAFFX2

I hope not.Mike has been a stand up guy and very vocal in his recruiting for UCF

We'll need both when everyone transfers.

This has not been a good year and recruiting so far has not kept up with other schools in our conference. Stranger things have happened.

around a month before the first signing day, 247 has UCF 4th in the AAC but 5th in Point Average. I hope the quality average jumps by signing day
