When Isaiah Adams, C.J. Walker and Darius Perry announced they were returning to UCF for another season rather than test the NBA waters, it was a huge break for the Knights.
The team figured to spend much of the summer auditioning replacements for the three standouts, who accounted for close to half of the offensive production last season. Instead, UCF finds itself welcoming back the core of a group whose familiarity spells good things for the Knights in 2021-22.
Things could have taken a much different turn after Adams, Walker and Perry declared for the NBA Draft in April.
