I think the status of some of our current targets depends on the commit status of other more desirable targets since we currently have around 20 new scholarships for 2018 including early signees and transfers. I haven't seen any twitter buzz of new commits from this past weekend though.Does anyone know whether we got any commits out of this weekend?
Of the 14 commits we now have, only 6 are from Florida. Are we having trouble this year recruiting at home? If so, what's the problem?I think the status of some of our current targets depends on the commit status of other more desirable targets since we currently have around 20 new scholarships for 2018 including early signees and transfers.

In this SF recruiting video it mentions him at the end probably coming to us.
Correction only 8 are from Florida.Of the 14 commits we now have, only 6 are from Florida. Are we having trouble this year recruiting at home? If so, what's the problem?

Well the coaches that just left don't seem to be having a problem nor do other schools who were on the coaching carousel.We can't keep a coaching staff long enough to take advantage of our local ties.
Frost is not recruiting at a level to compete in the Big 10 yet. They are recruiting better than at UCF but that is because it is a P5 school. The staff coming to UCF is coming from recruiting to the SEC. It is a much taller order to convince a player with SEC offers to follow the coach to UCF than it is to convince players you were targeting for UCF to go to a Big 10 school instead.Well the coaches that just left don't seem to be having a problem nor do other schools who were on the coaching carousel.
I've been beating this drum pre Frost but I don't know why any Florida players decide to go play in the Big 10Frost is not recruiting at a level to compete in the Big 10 yet.

it helps that Frost and Beckton were establishing these relationships while at UCFWell the coaches that just left don't seem to be having a problem nor do other schools who were on the coaching carousel.
only 2 offers for this latest commit....

Imagine if there were ever a movement with Florida players to say screw the rest of the country and all of them committed to In State Programs. Florida could have 5 ranked teams every season.
And wouldn't that be wonderful and exciting!!!

Unranked and only two offers. Did you look at his tapes?

I thought this was the RB who was a position switch but I think he went to Miami NorthwesternMay just be under the radar. Coached by Patrick Surtain at American Heritage and were undefeated state champs this year. Video looks like he's got pretty good speed, but some interesting tackling. Lots of going for the strip instead of wrapping up.
Maybe can flip his teammate.
Or this one.

Don't think we will know until signing day. He still has OVs scheduled with Wisconsin and NC State.It looks like Wildgoose may announce a commitment to UCF soon. If you look at 24/7, the UGA folks are flipping their predictions to UCF.

hope so, he's talented. the only reason he was most likely pushed out of Georgia's class is bc they are about the have the best recruiting class possibly ever on paperIt looks like Wildgoose may announce a commitment to UCF soon.

See he is now scheduled for an OV next weekend. 247 dropped his rating as well from a .88 to .87Anyone know much about Alfred Thomas? Huge rating, tons of P5 offers, but took a recent visit to Tennessee State. 247 has Tenn State, Southern Miss and UCF as top candidates. Most recent tweets all UCF related. https://twitter.com/AlfredThomas05

Yes. Shannon wanted him, because he made 3 interceptions last year with his elbows while all those 4 star guys had to use their handsUnranked and only two offers. Did you look at his tapes?
Yea, that's what I saw. Lots of hustle but no skills. But, if he's got the talent, the speed and the desire, skills can be taught.May just be under the radar.

Agree.Don't think we will know until signing day. He still has OVs scheduled with Wisconsin and NC State.
You got that right. My son-in-law, huge Dawg fan, can't quit telling me about it.hope so, he's talented. the only reason he was most likely pushed out of Georgia's class is bc they are about the have the best recruiting class possibly ever on paper
Heupel already has a QB commit for next year and the Wake Forest transfer as a 3rd string for this season.You think Heupel tries for a QB in this cycle or waits until next year?
Will be great is making a leap. Richardson left. Jones and the few others not so much. Proving my point that we still may sign a guy or 2 that will be better than those mentioned.Plus I didn't say no impact. I gave you his stats.You guys want to say how great Frost was at recruiting but Heupels guys haven't even practiced yet and want to say he sucks.Marlon Williams had no impact? are you kidding me, that guy is a dog and will be a very good player. And E. Greene is going to get more touches this season. Just bc they don't put up Tre numbers as a True Freshman doesn't mean they won't be very good players. Marlon is a playmaker

I could see Woodson turning into something and I think that injury had a lot to do with falling off the radar. Similar to the B. Perriman recruiting story years ago. But the rest not so muchHeupel is definitely taking some gambles with some of these recruits panning out, but is probably forced into it with the new early signing period. Not much tape on Lester as he was only at American Heritage for this past season and not at his primary position. Woodson missed alot of time in HS due to a knee injury so again taking a risk based on limited film. Same thing with Elbert who was an early signee. These could be home runs that just weren't on recruiting radar before early signing day when most teams were filling up their scholarships. May have to rely on those a bit this year and based on the team returning and incoming transfers it will probably work for a year. Just can't make it a regular trend.
