## Resource

UCF secures a major frontcourt addition with Ladarius Givan, a top-33 center from the class of 2027, who chose the Knights over heavy hitters like LSU, Indiana, NC State, and Seton Hall. Givan, a three-star recruit, averaged 15.5 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game in high school, leading his team to their first state title in 52 years. This move strengthens UCFs squad, especially with their stacked transfer class, including Cayden Vasko, Isaiah Malone, and Lewis Walker. With Givan anchoring the paint and these transfers bringing experience, UCF is building a formidable team for the upcoming season.
