Lots of new additions to @JakeSpavital's offense this year through the transfer portal as well. Former Alabama WR @showtime1kp and TXST transfer @kolew1lson join Auburn transfer @walker_white5 adding to an already stacked #Baylor offense. #SicEm pic.twitter.com/T6qGRv3xBh

Dave Aranda told us today that the main difference he saw was the confidence that this group has, said he's seen it three times at #Baylor: 2021, last season and this year:

Dave Aranda had high praise for 3⭐️ freshman QB Edward Griffin:

"This team loves football, & just the time that they put into it. I think Edward Griffin is a great example. I mean, he's a maniac for ball. He's a maniac. He's up there all the time & wants to get better."#SicEm pic.twitter.com/qLgEhAq1gx

Dave Aranda on Baylor's QB depth: "Our quarterback room, I would put up as one of the strongest ones I've ever been around just in terms of people and athletic ability and then care factor."

High praise. #SicEm

I feel better about our quarterback situation than I have in quite a while. Even with Robertson leaving next year, I feel like one of Walker White/Ed Griffin is going to be a good player

do they* still run around in odd formations with men facing each in squadrons on a elongated rectilinear grid with horizontal lines every 10 yards????

- el KKM

* all while wearing padded leggings along with an upper breast plate sheathed in a fabric covering with unique numerals on the front???

the object apparently to advance against the counter facing squad in a series of maneuvers with a leather spheroid in a random series of tactics all led by a primary combatant shouting commands all while jettisoning the spheroid to a selected combatant??

- UL

PA.

D!

QB Sawyer Robertson (RSr.) talks about the excitement surrounding Baylor's offense, which is returning almost all of its starters:

Have they practiced covering the Hail Mary yet? I'm sorry, but I'm still in therapy over that play.

I'm guessing that play, as emblematic of bad secondary play generally, is the reason we shelled out for Paul Gonzales.

QB Sawyer Robertson (RSr.) gives an update on his ankle that left him hobbled over the back half of last season:

"I’m able to be healing it right now, which is really important. It’s feeling a lot better."#SicEm🐻 pic.twitter.com/tJ9xGq6KNb

— Baylor Bears on SicEm365 (@SicEm365) April 1, 2025

im actually worried out QB room is too stacked. i have a feeling that we will lose a few since after Sawyer, my guess is that Walker willl be QB1 and he will have 2 years as starter. Then we have the 4* QB coming in next year

Our @CravenMike stopped by @BUFootball earlier this week to check on @CoachDaveAranda & the Bears.

Simply put: #SicEm fans should be excited about the 2025 campaign.

Man, I'd hate to be the guy trying to "replace" Matt Jones.

I like Jones, but he was a liability in pass coverage and his lateral movement left a lot to be desired.

Hopefully, this is an upgrade.

Terrell Bernard he was not. Mike Singletary he was not.

Dial back the hyperbole.

Ranked closely behind the great Cap'n Carrot's UNLV's 103 yard fumble return for winning TD. BOTH make me grab the Alka Seltzer.

Unfortunately, I was there on the top row on the press box side. Still can't believe that one...

I get your point - except that I did not compare him to either of those players, nor did I use any hyperbole.

I was on the Baylor sideline, 30 feet from Kevin. I screamed, "That was your fault" repeatedly to him while friends walked me off the field.

Sadly, it got worse after that.

Assuming these posts are related, is there locker room drama to be concerned about?

Unsure if this type of stuff is standard for the Spring or if I'm blowing up something prematurely that's probably nothing, but I've been a bit more wary since hearing some of the transparent comments in the recent Garmon Randolf interview

That does sound like some drama going on. With 100+ guys on a team I guess there's always bound to be some drama somewhere.

Ashytn chose to stay here for another year so I would assume he was happy here. Have no idea what this is about.

any news?

don't recall a recent Garmon Randolph interview...what did he say?

Here's the interview I was referring to:

That Hail Mary is the only play I really remember from last year. The fact that we messed up twiice in a row is what gives me nightmares. I'm guessing our secondary was so out of whack last year that Sanders could have lined up a 3rd time in a row and done the same thing again.

Ok...we don't need to steal Deion's tagline

That's a pretty bold statement. The "quality" has been questioned in the past. Obviously, time will tell. As usual, with Baylor, the first couple of games in new season, especially the 2025 year, will determine that. Would absolutely LOVE to see a Baylor team start a/any/all game with foot on the accelerator and not letting up.
