UCF Transfer Portal Updates

Wild seeing former Ohio State, LSU, Alabama type players transferring to UCF. Frost doing well. Hope our OL signings pan out. Love the DT from Ga Tech!
You get the sense frost is looking at film and getting players that check certain boxes where as Gus would scroll through the 247 rankings and recruit off of rankings with no idea of how the kid would perform or what their character was

I mean, we got Cedric Hawkins (safety) to transfer from Ohio State to UCF just last year. He didn’t record a single tackle last season, I’m not sure I remember him ever seeing the field.

Once they transfer, the stars and HS accolades they received (which got them to Ohio State, Alabama, LSU, etc) means very little to me. Sometimes they pan out at UCF coming from blue-blood programs (see Javon Baker, Kobe Hudson, Lee Hunter, Amari Kight), and sometimes they don’t.
 
You can sprin recruits negative or positive. From Ohio State, they a 4-5 star stud, or they didn't pan out and are a bust. From FCS, they haven't played anyone they can't handle top level football or they are hungry and ready to prove themselves.

Unless they were a starter at high level putting up meaningful numbers as a starter, it's an unknown how they will pan out until they see the field.
