Hmmmmmm I'm not thrilled

He's had a lot of injury issues and just hasn't been a consistent player. It's obvious that we made the best offer and are almost certainly guaranteeing him the starting position no matter what ie Dequan Finn style. Go see what else is on the menu bud, but your stock is not that high.

This likely has a lot to do with Chambliss losing his NCAA bid for a 6th year of eligibility today. Ole Miss making a play.

He's gonna try to act like he never wanted him, just watch.

If he's still taking visits he's far from committed. Sounds like BU jumped the gun a bit

According to RG III on Sic'em 365 Baylor NEEDS receivers. Don't know how that's going to work out.

Pull the offer

Dave would never do that. He needs this commit really badly and will overpay to get it. It would represent a big PR win for Dave and Linda after the whole, "our recruiting class is awesome and we have to worry about financial stewardship" letter followed by the recruiting class not being that awesome, and the current transfer portal class looking much the same

I wonder how his daddy feels about this.

Honestly it wouldn't be the end of the world

Have him go somewhere else so we can have a horrible season and finally fire Dave

I agree. His main benefit right now is in hype for the fans and some name recognition. Doesn't mean he's actually better than a guy we have barely heard of that was buried on somebody's roster behind a starter.

But if he remains with BU he has some tools and maybe a system that can smooth s rough spots.

I personally don't care about the hype. Find a good qb, let him build his own reputation.

This is on Lagway. Baylor is not allowed to announce commitments

I think his dad committed for him. Not a good sign.

It sounds like he gave us some sort of vague verbal commitment that allows him to keep his options open. If Dave is smart, he'll be lining up other quarterback visits right about now

oh no, Saint Dave might not survive the season if DJ doesn't commit!

lmao. y'all really think it's Dave I'm invested in, not the Baylor Bears. Dead ass wrong.

Before Mack imploded, I said we needed to move on. I said so at the end of the '23 season too. But once Mack imploded, we would have had to hire an AD within two weeks to have that person turn around and hire an new HC within a two weeks for them to have two weeks to hire their staff and plan their roster/portal strategy.

That's a ridiculous timeline for decisions of that magnitude.

Michigan was able to do what they did with such apparent quickness because they (allegedly) knew they were firing both HC and AD for months.

I believe Baylor leadership expected to fire Dave at the end of the season while retaining Mack, but then that blew up. But honestly, that was probably for the best - not in terms of retaining Dave, but rather Mack needing to go to fully restore booster relations.

So we're in an ugly spot with no guaranteed quick fix.

By the Aranda hater logic regarding the 2021 season: we can be great with Dave as long as he's just HC, has two great coordinators, and has a great roster. Klanderman & Spav have more skins on the wall than Roberts & Grimes do. As for the roster...IU has proven that you can build a Playoff team out of unranked and 3-star transfers developed by other programs if they're right for your system.

I don't care ultimately if DJ is the QB or not, I just want Baylor to get back on track. Y'all are convinced that it's impossible for that to happen under Aranda, and I'm not (see above paragraph). But if we fire him today or in October or in December, I'll still bleed green and gold.

Just like y'all think I'm a deluded dumbass, this is the Fire-Dave-Now-on-January-9th Crowd to me:

Will not come to BU, bank it! How the hell does his commitment get reported?

---

I hope Dave has other quarterback visits scheduled and won't just wait to do that until after he finds out if Lagway played him like a fiddle or not.

GodleyBear said:

---

Makes us look ridiculous.

---

With the info out there right now, it certainly makes Grayson and Levi look a little ridiculous. They will be redeemed if he does show up.

Even if Lagway eventually signs, there still should probably still be one more qb brought in that is somewhere between redshirt soph and junior to provide depth. We lost a qb already, so all we really have is a soph and another very raw young guy that is a longshot. They need to have bridge guy to provide depth and some real competition among the room.

fine w/ moi....

if he wants to come here at a reasonable $$$$$.... great.

if he can grab the bag - not the FIJI manner - then more power to him.

we'll survive.

D!

Go Bears!!
