Transfer Portal is now open
- Thread starter PhDee
- Start date
That type of stubbornness and commitment to one guy that hasn’t proven anything gets coaches fired . He acts like he has Trevor Lawrence here
I agree. UCF should always shoot for the moon and should DEFINITELY offer Casey Thompson.
I hope I'm wrong... but maybe the $$ just isn't there to get a top guy. If there is sufficient money available then yes, they should offer Thompson.
Surprised at all the Casey Thompson posts…he was run out of TX, now run out of Nebraska (who is terrible). Did anyone watch him play? I did a couple games with TX (mediocre with a ton of talent around him) and many Nebraska games (very bad). What do you all see, or is it just a name you see? He wouldn’t be better…
I keep hoping to be wrong about our QB issues every year......but this X Williams offer is rediculous...
This isn't a low wattage offer, this is a NO WATTAGE offer.
Sure, offer any top guy that shows up.....just realize it is just a worthless piece of paper to them.
Whoever Tweeted out that offer should be fired immediately.

I checked out the kid's NCSA page. He has a five minute highlight video from his two seasons as a backup quarterback at Ola HS. The first two minutes are game play. The last three minutes are 7-on-7 clips.
🤣🤣🤣
His career marks as a HS quarterback are as follows...
79-of-130 for 1,149 yards and 12 touchdowns with 6 interceptions. He played in 11 varsity games with seven starts.

It should be a 30-for-30 that this kid got an FBS offer.
LOL. This guy is too much. Thompson has one year left. Malhazan is going to start JRP no matter what. By all accounts Keene won the job and Malhazan still started JRP. Again, get over it.
Steven Leonard at 247 posted that UCF doesn’t believe it can land Thompson. UCF’s main transfer QB target is the kid from Charlotte. A very low .81 three star recruit coming out of high school.
Redshirted in 2021. In 2022 played in six games with one start: 34-67 (50.7%) for 420 yards with 2 TDs and 2 INTs.
Now we wait for SharkBoy19 to report me for posting the facts.

I never said UCF had a chance to get he guy, but you always ask. You have ZERO chance if you don't ask. So DEFINITELY offer.
Casey Thompson is Auburn's or Florida's to lose, but it all depends on whether Taulia Tagovailoa wants to come back for Auburn: https://247sports.com/Article/Mike-...and-Terrapins-QB-Taulia-Tagovailoa-209073748/
Either way, Thompson is heading to the Southeast, so UCF should DEFINITELY offer, even though Thompson does NOT fit Gus's system. After all, he has under 200 yards rushing for his career and ran for negative 21 yards last year.
Xavier Shepherd is a quarterback prospect UCF should consider in case of emergency. He ran a Gus-style offense in high school prior to running the double wing at Mercer.

EDIT: I will add this in all fairness to Xavier Williams. What LITTLE he does have on film makes him look like a legitimate FBS quarterback. I cannot say the same for Xavier Shepherd.

At least Xavier Williams will be accustomed to running for his life, per this excerpt from the Charlotte Spring Game.
"Returning quarterback Xavier Williams struggled out of the gate with consistent pressure in the pocket but found his rhythm in the second quarter, when he found Roger “Fresh” Walters on a 12-yard strike to put the green team on the board. Williams finished the night completing just three of his five passes for 20 yards and a score."

That’s embarrassing they even offer that guy. He sucks for Charlotte. They don’t want any pressure to pull JRP zoo they offer clowns. Unreal.
If we had media that actually asked tough questions they should be pressing why we are acting small time at the most important position
This offer is embarrassing. not even trying to challenge JRP, McClain should transfer too
@DeezKnights is right. The NIL money isn't there.
Casey Thompson is valued at $237K, per on3's "by NIL value" category. That's more than some UCF coaches make ($1 to @LoboCane ).
Thomas Castellanos is the 27th-most valued available quarterback at $23K. Xavier Williams is the 35th-most valued quarterback at
$12.9K.
Kingdom NIL is falling short. The money isn't there to compete with the big dogs.

Money doesn't go as far as it used to. Back in my day, you could buy a Heisman winning quarterback for $180k.
"Bond said the former teammate told him other schools had already offered $200,000, but since Newton really liked Mississippi State and had a relationship with head coach Dan Mullen dating to when both were at Florida, Mississippi State could get him for $180,000."
Ex-Mississippi St. QB: Newton offered for cash
During the height of star quarterback Cameron Newton's recruitment out of junior college last year, an agent's representative allegedly was soliciting a six-figure payment to secure his signature on a national letter-of-intent, ESPN.com has learned.

So? He could not develop even one of them? UCF had seven guys drafted the year before Malhazan got there. He brought in two classes of transfers with most being eligible to be drafted by this year. Zero got drafted.
One UCF dude got drafted last year (6th round) and it was a guy that sat out the whole year. Talent has fled the program since the guy got there and he has brought in nobody that’s good to replace them.
All he has accomplished at UCF is to have the best talent leave the program. Zero guys drafted but yeah keep trying to stunt on the high school rankings of the portal guys Malhazan brings in. Lol.
Don't beat your chest too hard. Old Dominion had more draft picks than Miami.
Correct, Heupel left the cupboards bare with 3 years of terrible recruiting.
Malhazan bringing bust guys like Terrence Lewis and Jennings…none of his portals will be drafted. High school? Who is he going to develop there: 2022 class: Lee, Castellanos and Thompson already gone (two never registered a statistic). OK, keep blaming Heupel tho…he seems to be doing very well at UT.
Don't want the starting QB to worry about losing their starting gig while they are focused on baseball*
damn reading these posts on page 7 and you all have lobotomy making sense. you can't defend gus as a developer of top talent so don't go down that rabbit hole. historically we've been a school that overachieved when it came to putting talent in the league. gus is the opposite with his gimmicky system. at auburn they seemed to only have a couple top end defensive talent that would get love though.
Don't let lobotomy distort the facts...
Gus's only recruiting weaknesses at AUBURN were recruiting and developing high school quarterbacks and high school offensive tackles. Gus excelled at recruiting and developing every other position.
The transfer portal where Gus has signed four transfer offensive tackles and two (soon-to-be three) transfer portal quarterbacks in two signing classes at UCF masks Gus's recruiting deficiencies at those positions.
As far as a developer of talent, Gus produced more NFL draft picks in his eight seasons as head coach than any other decade in the history of AUBURN football.
He will do the same at UCF. Remember Kirby Smart had to win recruiting battles BEFORE he won national championships. Georgia's recruiting rankings were 3 (2017), 1 (2018), 2 (2019), and 1 (2020). Those classes came BEFORE the 2021 and 2022 national titles.
"...historically we've been a school (UCF) that overachieved when it came to putting talent in the league."
Gus gonna change that narrative brah.
If Gussy keeps doing the Bounce Back bammer shuffle, the NFL will come calling sooner than later.
Why the **** is our board dominated by inane arguments between an Auburn and Miami fan? Both should get a life and take a hike.
BC offered as QB but the Malhazan shill here said that TC had to go to FCS to play QB.
