Recruiting Update Thread

So o-line was the mvp this year and RJ Harvey was just lucky to play with them?

RB injuries happen quite often, don't want to deal with depth issues.

Jeanty had 1,889 yards after contact this year, that's him being elusive and breaking tackles not his o-line.

It’s O Line and him as well obviously. Skattebo runs people over. I’d expect him to go to NFL too but he won’t last long. You have to go out of bounds or not fight too hard for extra yards or you’ll get hurt. Bo Jackson fought for extras and career ended early. It’s great as a fan for 4 years but then they can’t move much anymore. I prefer my RBs to avoid contact now. 20 years ago I liked guys that ran people over. They just didn’t last long.

Correct and well said.

OH dang, I thought he was done. Now we gotta figure out what's gonna replace 'boom' here now that Frost is HC.

Since it's going to be UCFast again, supposedly, boom should become zoom.

Is this all of them?

No, LaParka Langston (6' 8" 325 lb OL) is not on either list. He was our last commit (12/10) if that means anything

What is the difference between an early enrollee and a mid year enrollee? Seems like the same thing.

Early I think means HS. Mid year is transfer? Not positive.

That's what I originally thought, but the three listed under mid year were all high school recruits.

I don’t know ages. Maybe early is younger than 18? Mid is 18 and older?

Early enrollee means that those commits graduated high school early as they normally would have this semester be the end of their senior year. They enroll now getting a jump on learning the playbook and more importantly getting access to the training program. Mid-year enrollees are coming in the UCF summer semester after wrapping up high school. They still get a small head start on Fall enrollees but would have missed Spring practices.
LaParka Langston is coming from a Junior College so he might not be done with courses there or would appear more like a Transfer since he is already at a college and not enrolling fresh out of high school.

In his tweet it says they are on campus. Not coming in Summer.

the tweet was about our high school signees. he says "here are the early enrollees on campus for the Knights (colon)"

then he lists the remainder of the class as mid-year enrollees. he's not saying those 3 are on campus.

Have no clue. I don’t think either term is referring to summer enrollees

I don’t either. He literally said here on campus.

I called this in the other thread. Jeris and his kinfolk are old Tampa. His roots run deep. Bound to pay dividends for the program.
