I think you mean #71. Grable has been called constantly it seemed. I don’t recall seeing Marshall called much at all.
TCU played a good looking RS freshman last year. He played in 10 games. Another returner played in 7 (unless that guy is in the portal?). I don’t know if they need to dip into the portal for a starter. They may just need depth.

I can see him going elsewhere now that we are probably returning our 2 top receivers… which initially didn’t seem likelyLooks like UCF might miss on Auburn's leading 2023 receiver Ja'Varrius Johnson, per a cryptic Tweet by former Auburn tight end turned Utah Ute Landon King:
"Ja'Varrius Johnson was a senior wide receiver for the Tigers in 2023, entered the transfer portal in the offseason, and already holds an official offer from the Utes.
"According to On3, Johnson is currently split between transferring to UCF (53.3) and Utah (46.7). Their prediction model currently gives the Utes around a 47% chance to land the transfer wideout.
"Johnson, who accumulated 64 catches for 1,114 yards and eight touchdowns during his time with the Tigers, would be a monumental acquisition for the Utes. Especially considering former No. 1 option, Devaughn Vele, recently declared for the 2024 NFL Draft."

Possible. But Johnson plays the slot (Xavier Townsend's spot). Kobi is a Z. Kobi and Johnson were No. 1 receivers at Auburn and always drew the best cover corners.
You said UCF needed a WR in the other thread.

Yes, before Baker and Hudson announced '24....I said this on freakin Dec 4th
Well you were right but apparently you don't know it. UCF lacks a burner--a true deep threat who can take the top off a defense. It is one thing (among others) holding Gus's offense back. Christian Leary would have filled that role last season. Not saying Johnson is a burner, but he does know Gus's offense, can play every receiver position at a high level, and do everything well. Can't turn that away.
I saw Baker announce he’s coming back…must have missed Hudson coming back. That’s great news.
Doubtful, but I'd take 'em.

No argument at all, THIS program needs stability and development. With few exceptions, 1 year rentals will not help those goals. They are gap fillers. We need a guy to challenge the current QB room, not run them off. We should not be giving the job away, and make no mistake, the 1 years rental guys are not going places without the job in hand.
All of them. With a good QB you can be a 2 loss team or better. QB is most important position. Other deficiencies can be hidden when you’re scoring points. Look at Browns and Steelers. Look bad with terrible QB play but can beat anyone when score points.
Yep, DJU to FSU. I would MUCH rather have Nelson than Jefferson, and Miami probably feels the same way....unless they take both, which would be a great smart move (like what Oregon is doing).
Not with our run defense....
If you actually think UCF would have won all their games this year, or even close to that, with better QB play, then I literally can’t talk ball with you. I’m sure you watch the games, but you have no idea how to process what you’re looking at.
er, but now UCF has to hold onto him until his enrollment date. Getting a commitment is only half the battle.
I literally said 2 loss team in comment you quoted. But we would be in all of them. You act like our defense was top 10 in nation when we went undefeated. We won because of QB play. Defense gave up a lot of points. You’ll probably have to Google it. I wasn’t begging to “talk ball” with you. If you think defense is all you need go ahead and Google Iowa. Great defense and will probably have 4 losses.
