Dumbest thing we can do is take this. Just decline it and move on.

What are you talking about? Teams playing in bowl games get 20 hours of practice time per week leading up to their bowl. Why in the world would we ever decline 60 additional practice hours?

Throw some new guys in who were hungry but didn't get much playing time - tryouts for early roster development. Also...are there financial incentives?

If we are going to play we better win. I can't take anymore embarrassments like we had against Arkansas State. I was looking forward to 2026 but now this nightmare of a season continues. Only way to not make this worse is to win.

Normally I agree on the extra practice time, but I think our coaches hitting the recruting trail (in house as well) may be more important this year.

So what does it tell recruits that our team won’t play every game possible?

Our 26 class is signed, and pretty sure that December is now a quiet period with no officials or contact allowed. All they can do is scour the transfer portal but that doesn't even open until Jan 2. It isn't like they don't recruit and coach at the same time during the season, this is nothing new.

You are correct. We can't recruit right now

Some of our coaches will be at the Shrine Bowl practices in Spartanburg, contact period or not. They always are. That’s next week.

One of the benefits of the new single portal timeline is that visits can’t occur during December. Work will obviously be done to retain current players, plus connect and set up future visits, but it does remove one major and timely exercise of recruiting from December to January.

That is really what this game is really about recruiting and learning how to win. UCF passed because the last time Scott Frost played Georgia Southern he was fired.
