The Knighted Ones #113: Coogin It, 45 Days, More NCAA Updates, Recruiting, NIL, & Hoops
Roger Phipps 
This week we dive into everything UCF fans care about right now — a full UCF vs. BYU game review, why the Knights started fast, where things broke down, and how the Big 12 playoff picture could still shake out. We hit NIL realities, roster movement, the coaching carousel, transfer portal strategy, and why UCF is better positioned than the ACC moving forward.
We also break down Signing Day, stadium and facility upgrades, TDT fund mechanics, and what a GM means for recruiting. Then it’s all UCF Hoops — offensive sets, Stillwell’s triple-double, Fulks’ impact, RPI rankings, why depth matters in the Big 12, and whether this team is for real.
Plus: listener questions, bold predictions, UCF volleyball and women’s soccer updates, and Josh’s “Sometimes Funny” fact of the week.
