every post of our QB Commit being so pro UCF just reminds me of Castellenos who did the same thing and was gone after 1 year
Yep, I still remember those tweets of calling himself the “hero” ready to save the day here. Though I believe he was absolutely justified in leaving thanks to Gus
That's disappointing. Hope this doesn't start some kind of domino effect. That would be awful.
He was pumped, then Gus went all in with Plumlee a few months later and never looked back. Castellanos got tons of praise in Fall of 2022 by OC and staff. Makes him burn his redshirt for nothing, doesn't let him play at all in bowl game. Proclaims QB position up for grabs while bringing in OC, then there is not a single word about a QB competition.
I watch BC here and there. A decent runner. Average arm. He’s small. He ran into a ref and fell backwards. The ref didn’t budge. His hands must be small. Just holding it getting ready to throw and it falls out of hand.
Well paying the players has not really work out that well for Miami so there is that
Javon hates UCF fans as much as USF does. multiple times this season he has come at fans
He tells it like it is...UCF fans don't want to hear that it's BS that they only stay for half a game or don't have the NIL $$$ that other P5 programs have. But it's the truth. Meanwhile, while Javon makes some great acrobatic catches, he's got some splainin' to do when it comes to missing easy catches that end up in turnovers and cost us games. So, he has every right to talk about the lack of participation from fans and contributors, but we have every right to talk about his miscues. The truth is both sides need to fix their problems.
He followed that up saying it wasn’t intended at UCF specifically then went at UCF fans
Has to be awful for NC State fans ..you just beat Clemson and Miami back 2 back and your QB is like ‘I’m out of here’
Interesting that his father said he's not leaving the program. I guess with a couple of conference losses they're not going to play for an ACC Championship and so he hands the job back to the transfer they brought in and "won" the job in the preseason. We'll see how this turns out, but we certainly have a bad taste about upper class QB's redshirting.
Thats the problem with the portal, you bring in locker room cancers like JB.
Feel the same way. If a QB or Walker comes in and a local dealership offers him a deal great but the Collectives feel like an Amway scam with not enough transparency.
I think we would like to hear some of these things the players have not been getting that they were promised:
I agree that it’s unfair to have that reputation placed on him from this situation. I never met either of them The information has come out certainly does not indicate that they scammed anyone in this. It looks like this particular player has financial problems and is looking for a way out. He is probably a good kid (the player) that is being led down this pathway by the real scammers.
After reading some of the posts about players from “fans”…I don’t blame him.
I thought this was going to happen and why I was against this whole idea from the start. It is ruining amateur sports.
Agree. They aren’t amateurs now. Funny how NFL teams don’t need collectives but colleges do. NFL plays 4 more games but their coaches make way more. Athletic Departments can afford to give the football players more money. I’m not giving money to collectives so we can buy better players. That’s not fun to me. I don’t feel better about myself because I gave money to win.
College football stopped being amateur sports when program fans brag about multi million dollar TV contacts, spending millions on facilities, how much they pay their coaches, and 7+ figure donations.
this man gets it. paying $200k for some DT isn't what killed college football. schools like ATM paying a coach $70m to leave and then will turn around and give the next guy $100m or more is what killed the amateur angle in college sports. it's a joke. everything is fine as long as it's about the love of the game for the players while being about the love of the money for everyone else involved.
As long as programs and coaches can keep telling their alumni and fans they are not winning because they don't invest enough in the program and have media/fans agree. See UCF basketball.
