Recruiting Update Thread

[knight_tracker]

On the depth chart at Tight End we have Roberson (sophomore) and Hescock (freshman) Hopefully they can step in and be productive. I watched some video on Hescock and he has good hands and also played defensive end. https://247sports.com/player/jake-hescock-80378. Also the video on Bellamy appears to be a really athletic pickup. https://247sports.com/player/isaiah-bellamy-46039315

I thought we had a TE transfer.

 

[firm_bizzle]

Hescock is huge.

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

Yes the huge Hescock came from Wisconsin.

 

[KnightVision82]

Good points, although I still wish we were seeing more visible signs of momentum on the recruiting front (hopefully there are some things going on in back rooms). I will back off of my pessimism for now and see where things go.

I will say though that this new early signing period is really screwing us and other teams that had a coaching change. I'd have a lot more confidence if Heupel had until February to lock down the class. Guessing most of this years class will sign between Wednesday and Friday. But who knows.

Check out Brandon's twitter comments today both by new HC and info on new players committing. Tomorrow is going to be a very good day for UCF!

I’m going to Tijuana Flats for lunch today to see if I can hear any recruiting rumors. Will report back

 

[muckdawg24]

Rumors are only given out if you use the "Scorned Woman" hot sauce. Code is on the bottom of the bottle.

Shhhh! That type of info should be kept in The Dungeon!

 

[80'sKnight]

Shhhh! That type of info should be kept in The Dungeon!

Every time someone does an 'ad' for the Dungeon by saying either tomorrow's going to be a very good day, or "that's just the first of the 4 stars/surprises coming" which was a direct quote from someone doing an 'ad' it never proves to be true. I specifically remember the 4 star/surprises quote, was very excited yet come signing day, there were no surprises.

And you just find out an hour later anyway.

Are we allowed to say that on this site?

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

Pretty sure. Been said since it was announced months ago. You upset because you kept calling Hughes, Haynes?

I'm guessing your mind isn't in the gutter.

Learn your players or don't comment on them.

 

[80'sKnight]

I didn't so send you insults to someone else, was just trying to explain what I thought was a joke. Learn English or shut up.

 

[Stormthecourt?]

Edit: glad to see Boudreaux’s friend is still committed

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

I thought we had a commit from an OL who played with the guy who transferred from Notre Dame and sat out this year? Weren’t they both from STA or is he the Bishop Moore guy?

It would be Bishop Moore I'm guessing.

 

[firm_bizzle]

Learn your players or don't comment on them.

You can tell who attends practices.

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

You can tell who attends practices.

Or who doesn't wait for 10-0 to start watching.

I was concerned about the short list, so I checked some other teams and they only have a few that have signed so far. I noticed this kid on the Florida State board asante Smauel JR it would be nice to have him at UCF https://247sports.com/Player/Asante-Samuel-Jr-78738

Strong stayed. Frost left. Sucks. Guess Shannnon couldn’t real him in.

 

[KnightVision82]

Not upset at all. Just having a little fun which guys on this site who don't seem to have fun unless they're talking about drinking.

Go Knights! Great start to signing day with 5 OLs which is the way to start any year.

 

[SiberianKnightmare]

I know this is incredibly arrogant, but when I see recruits sign with USF over UCF my initial thought is, "Aww, poor kid".

Thanks for this muckdawg

Keep it going please!

 

[knight_tracker]

9:01 a.m. Chris Deloach TE 6-5 250 Columbus, Miss. Great signing Recruited by Elarbee

 

[hemightbejeremy]

Deloach is huge. Wonder what his 40 time is.

 

[hemightbejeremy]

Thought McMullen was a 3* when he was committed to Colorado. Now he is a 2.

 

[knight_tracker]

Deloach is huge. Wonder what his 40 time is.

Milton is going to like Deloach as a target over the middle, and he has the size and weight to block. 6-5 250!

 

[muckdawg24]

Looks like we got a big ol TE.

 

[hemightbejeremy]

Trevor Elbert rating out of high school before going JUCO

https://247sports.com/Player/Trevor-Elbert-31938?Institution=21560

Had an injury and surgery at TAMU that they described as "career ending".

 

[muckdawg24]

Thought McMullen was a 3* when he was committed to Colorado. Now he is a 2.

You know they do that on purpose because we're G5 and P5 gives you an automatically extra star for no reason whatsoever except to keep up the sham that they are above us.

 

[muckdawg24]

Looks like Gilyard, Jolly and Mayes are the ones left that were super pro UCF.
