Recruiting Update Thread

Tribble wanted to get rid of GOL and get younger/popular Kelly in as HC. GOL was suspect of the Tribble/Kelly bond. However, how they were planning on doing that went up in flames when the recruiting fiasco surfaced.But somehow GOL was not involved.
Watts has been fishing for more offers, doesn't seem that committed to sticking with UCF
I called it. Georgia just offered him and the offer is commitable. I don't know why we had him as choice #2, hope this doesn't backfire on Heup again.
Heupel sucks so bad he got Georgia to offer our QB target.
current Georgia starter is a sophomore then they have Justin Fields assuming he doesn't transfer
i had a feeling that was coming. our talent has developed because we have less players who are about the nonsense and more who are about the business of getting better every day. leave the drama queens to them.
Why did you put a d at the end of an? Mr Watts doesn’t.
I’m confident after days like yesterday that we will get more quality commits than de-commits. It’s getting a little late in the game though.
I want the type of player at UCF with one hand and the ones that almost die from a ruptured appendix causing schools to lose interest. Etc.

there needs to be a full court press for the QB from Milton's HS, take 2 QBs this cycle if you have to. The QB position is vital to keep this Program rolling & can cover up other flaws and misses in recruiting/talent(especially on Defense) while we are in the AAC.
How are we gaining so much national press but losing recruits and not even getting any 4 star players?
I just don't really understand what UCF is doing regarding this. Does anyone know?
This tells me the DLs on the bench haven't developed. I don't understand how Randy Chalton (who was playing hs football a year ago) can develop his body to play college football but guys that Frost recruited in 2016 won't be ready next year.
According to our DL coach, most of the youngsters are coming along, transforming their bodies but not making the progress he would like to see.......
Amazes me we haven't offered either yet.....
Not even close my man. Lost my voice at the game this Saturday, just want UCF to jump on the great opportunity to recruit well while they are in the news all the timeSuper secret haters.![[smoke]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/smokin.r191677.gif "Cool [smoke]")
The DLinemen that signed in the 2016 class consisted of a couple JUCOs Odige and Sanders (only Odige enrolled and graduated last year); DJ Davidson from Arizona who was suppose to be a grayshirt after he sorted out his test scores in the fall of 2016. he sorted it out and signed with a school closer to home: Arizona State. Eric Mitchell is a linebacker. Bacote probably is as well, but he can't get on the field because of injury. Frost's 2017 class consisted of 4 listed linemen: Cholewa, Luyanda, Zayas and Zio. Zayas is a linebacker and Luyanda was a JUCO who graduates this year.
So that's two linemen on the roster from 2 classes, less about development and more about not bringing in the numbers in those two classes.
edit: forgot Trysten so 3.
his comments were about the linemen they recruited in 2018 who are redshirting.

Regardless of who he was referring to it is a concern that we don't have any experienced depth on the DL. I also wouldn't make the leap that development is not a factor.....as far as numbers we actually have significantly more DL on our roster this year than in the previous 3 years. Could have something to do with now running a 4-3, but we have the numbers, they are clearly not ready for prime time.......
based on who you're counting on the roster: how many of this significantly more return next year and how many are actually walk-ons? All I know is that replacements for this year's seniors should be largely coming from the 2016 and 17 classes and yet we only have 2 linemen on the roster from those classes and that's why we need JUCOs.
edit: sorry 3 linemen, I keep forgetting Trysten because he was listed as a OL and Virginia signee by rivals, but Frost and company signed him as a DT.
btw, Cholewa has started a game this year as well, so his development must be coming on okay.

I’m just going to say this. I sit in 205. All the prospects come in with their lanyards and sit next to us or in front of us. Before half time, several had left. This happened during the Pitt game too.
The crowd is going crazy around them but most don’t participate. I don’t get it. They may go to the field or somewhere they’re allowed to go. It’s just a little strange.

Just because we are hot right now does not mean we still don't suffer from G5 syndrome. That is not going to change. We need to continue to find our "guys" who have fallen through the cracks. WE need to continue to develop those guys. We also need to understand that there is nobody like KZ. Just get used to it. He is special and likely we have another year of his amazing talent. We will not see the like of him for a long time.
Hopefully a bump is just going to come in the form of closing strong. We've got clear opportunities for guys to come in and contribute immediately. Houston was able to land 5 star Ed Oliver in the midst of their NY6 Bowl Game season in 2015 despite G5 problems. Just keep pressing and pushing the positives and hopefully this ridiculous success and national attention helps the coaches get the guys they really want regardless of stars.
I do not get it. Milton only has 1 year of eligibility yet, this is the class to bring in a few QBs.
How in the heck could the replacements for this years seniors DL be largely coming from those classes if we were running a totally different 3-4 scheme and we were recruiting for that different scheme in '16 and '17?????
