UCF coaches stress importance of QB John Rhys Plumlee avoiding unnecessary hits, turnovers • UF’s dynamic freshman Eugene Wilson will make first start with Gators
 Sentinel Sports Final Thursday, September 7, 2023 | | |
| | | | | FSU appears to be on another level, and here's why. 👇 ... If John Rhys Plumlee wants to make it to the end of the season without limping, he's going to have to listen to his coaches and slide or run out of bounds. Getting by Kent State is one thing. Getting tagged by Big 12 opponents every week could end his season early. ... Eugene Wilson III gets rewarded by Gators coach Billy Napier after he shined in the opener, even though it was a loss at Utah. ... The Rays only scored three runs, but pitcher Tyler Glasnow scores 14 Ks vs. the Red Sox. | | | | Where does Keon Coleman and Johnny Wilson rank among receiver duos nationally after decimating one of the nation's eltie defenses in LSU? And how good is that defensive front? The Seminoles can fine-tune themselves this week vs. Southern Miss. | | | | | UCF coaches spent much of the offseason and preseason camp stressing to Plumlee the need to avoid unnecessary punishment to his body. This comes after a season he led the Knights in rushing (982 yards), but missed time with a concussion from a win against Cincinnati on Oct. 29. | | | | | UF receiver Euge Wilson totaled 33 yards from scrimmage on three touches at Utah. Even though his 23 snaps were fourth most among UF receivers, the efficiency and flashes suggested Wilson needed a bigger role. | | | | | Among girls volleyball winners on Wednesday were Pine Ridge, Lake Highland Prep, West Orange, Kissimmee Osceola and Winter Springs, while The First Academy, West Orange, East River and Umatilla had boys golf wins. Winter Park, Dr. Phillips and Olympia notched girls golf wins. | | | | | The one benefit to Tyler Glasnow missing April and May with an oblique strain was that he would be strong and his workload unbridled over the remaining months of the regular season and postseason in his first extended action since returning from Tommy John elbow surgery. | | | | | Rumors had Mikel Brown landing at The First Academy. Instead he picked Overtime Elite (OTE), a league tailored to NBA prospects. TFA did pick up All-Area senior Jordan Tillery and Oak Ridge added more size to its roster. | | | | | Daniil Medvedev has reached his fourth U.S. Open semifinal as the heat and humidity continue to rise at the Grand Slam tennis tournament. He looked into a courtside TV camera in the final set of a 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Andrey Rublev on Wednesday and warned that a player is 'gonna die' in the nearly 95-degree Fahrenheit (35-Celsius) conditions. Medvedev was the 2021 U.S. Open champion. He called for medical attention during changeovers and used an inhaler. Aryna Sabalenka said the heat didn't bother her during a straight-set victory over Zheng Qinwen. Sabalenka will rise to No. 1 in the WTA rankings next week. | | | | | The fortunes of the Bucs in 2023 will rest on the shoulders — or the playbook — of a rookie offensive coordinator with a motivational speaker's soul. For those of you with a closet full of pewter and red, Dave Canales is your best hope for success this season. | | | | | Texas, set to leave for the Southeastern Conference after this season, received 11 of a possible 14 first-place votes from a panel of 14 beat writers that regularly cover the Big 12. Oklahoma, Kansas State and UCF each received one first-place vote. | | | | | Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel is unsure about left tackle Terron Armstead's status ahead of the opener against the Chargers, and is still not naming a starter at left guard. | | | |
