Description

Baylor Bears reshape their football future as top transfer portal additions aim to spark a 2026 turnaround—can this underwhelming portal class exceed expectations? Cam Stuart spotlights key defensive pickups like Ryan Davis from Kansas State and Devon Jordan from Oklahoma, plus offensive intrigue in Draylon Miller from Colorado, breaking down their roles and why Baylor fans should keep a close eye on eligibility and position battles. While DJ Lagway headlines the hype, who else brings hope to Waco this season?

The conversation shifts to Big 12 basketball’s relentless grind, questioning if the conference’s intensity is wearing down elite coaches like Jerome Tang and Scott Drew. With candid reactions to Kansas State’s blowout loss, coaching challenges, and the shifting landscape under NIL and the transfer portal, Cam Stuart explores whether a coaching reunion could reignite the Bears’ basketball dominance. Could Baylor’s next big breakthrough hinge on bringing Jerome Tang back to Scott Drew’s sideline?
