Cam Stuart spotlights Baylor’s struggles, examining Scott Drew’s recruiting strategy in the transfer portal and the team’s difficulties keeping players for multiple seasons. The discussion intensifies as BYU and Cincinnati join Baylor and Kansas State on the list of Big 12 programs most in need of revitalization—could roster stability and smarter NIL spending turn their fortunes?
