Several key letterwinners from last season are back for head coach Kirk Speraw's Knights, including junior forward A.J. Tyler (Palm Harbor, Fla.) and sophomore guards A.J. Rompza (Chicago, Ill.) and Isaac Sosa (Guaynabo, Puerto Rico). Rompza was named to the 2008-09 C-USA All-Freshman Team.
UCF's freshman class of forward Keith Clanton (Orlando, Fla.), guards Nik Garcia (Chicago, Ill.), Marcus Jordan (Highland Park, Ill.) and R.J. Scott (Slidell, La.) is considered to be one of the strongest recruiting classes in school history.
The Knights are slated to play eight Conference USA games in Orlando, including matchups with UTEP (Jan. 23), Tulsa (Jan. 30), Houston (Feb. 16) and UAB (Feb. 24). Season tickets, which start at just $79, are still available by calling (407) UCF-1000 or by visiting UCFAthletics.com.
