not sure if this totally explains the bad blood between Hill and the new coaches at UCF, but according to: https://www.sportsmediapass.com/2019/01/13/ucf-2018-season-post-mortem/

"Heupel deserves a lot of credit. He was able to limit the amount of disruption while starting to integrate his philosophy into the program. Attrition was surprisingly light. Backup quarterback Noah Vedral left to return to his home state of Nebraska, which didn’t surprise anyone. Other players like Trysten Hill tried to follow, but the school was able to block the transfers. Vedral was willing to drop his scholarship to go to Nebraska. Other players were not. This helped keep the roster largely intact."

Coaches move whenever they want, contracts mean nothing, but players get held hostage.

No doubt that affected Hill's relationship with the new regime - how could it not?

Gee, I wonder why that relationship suffered. New coaches clearly trying to make an example of someone. Hill was right to complain in that situation. They blocked his transfer and then limited his playing time. That's some coaches trying to show who is boss.

ah, jaylon, randy...
I disagree. People just outright hated the Jaylon pick and most didn't even think he'd even play again. I felt like he was written off until reports came out about the whole brace and all of that. Gregory........I guess he'd be close but everyone sort of wrote him off as a weed head and probably wouldn't play a down. Hill..........nothing leading up to the draft about him and as soon as we get him its all of these reports....its just all over the place.

It’s all perspective...

If Dallas had a 1st Rd pick and drafted a Safety, WR, TE.. etc, drafting a dominate 3T to shore up the DL would have been lauded and Hill would have been given the benefit of the doubt.

Instead, Hill was our top pick (58th overall, I should add). Cowboys fans will pick him apart until he proves he’s a stud. :rolleyes:

i have to say this makes me feel even more optimistic about picking hill.
it seems his coach screwed poor trysten out of many millions of $
but cowboys likely got a 1st round pick in the late 2nd.
strange how that works
especially with goodell screwing around left and right

here is a motif for the UCF coaches cutting hill's playing time.
they wanted to undercut his draft position so he would come back for 2020
did not work

This is from the thread "Trystn Hill Character Issues"

“I came in with Coach Frost and those were my guys, and then this coaching staff came in and things were … well, things I can’t really say, but it was on my mind,” Hill said of transferring. “But I bleed black and gold and so I wanted to stay here. These are my brothers. The people on this football team watched me grow up and watched me become who I am, so there was no way I could have left them, no matter what the situation."

i realize the same issue.
but what was hill about to say?
i wanted to leave but coach blocked my transfer.
that would hurt his reputation even more.
that was probably the smartest thing he could say

this proves one simple thing
hill cares a lot about $
