BREAKING: Offensive lineman Ylijah Hall has decided to leave Baylor

August 7, 2018
36,371

After being with the team all summer, 2018 offensive lineman Ylijaah Hall‍ has decided to leave Baylor. A source close to the program told SicEm365 it was due to homesickness.

Hall only had one other power five offer and it was from Houston.

He was expected to reshirt this season. He was in the 2018 class that included Jackson Kimble‍, Casey Phillips‍, Connor Galvin‍, and Princeton Pines‍.

Hall is the sixth player to leave the program in the last three weeks, joining redshirt freshman defensive end Justin Harris, sophomore cornerback Timarcus Davis, junior wide receiver Rajah Preciado, sophomore Demarco Artis and redshirt freshman Trevon Lewis.

Why would a guy so committed quit before he even starts?

Classes and the whole college responsibility thing might be a bit overwhelming. Maybe!

I wouldn't be surprised of there was somebody stirring up crap from the outside with rumors that Baylor is about to get nailed bigtime by the NCAA.

Wouldn't be the first time.

It's a little over an hour's drive--and Hwy 6 is a much improved highway. That cannot be the only reason.

There's about 18-20 kids on the OL now, most of them his age- FR and SO. When you're a project take and you see that many bodies in front of you, I can see that as well.

Maybe it is the new transfer rules but in the past players left after the spring semester ended because they found out in spring practice they were behingd on the depth chart. Now people leave in August pre-season camp. Maybe this is the new thing. Are other programs losing people during pre-season?

This comment is underrated.

Also, they must have meant FBS.

I know the reports about the bowl ban were only a couple days ago, but do you think any of the negative press and unknown punishments (if any) are having any impact on all of these guys leaving here recently?

My freshman year at Baylor in 1981, we had a highly touted offensive lineman in our class from a small town in Texas that quit and went home. He had a girlfriend at home. Was on the phone with her 16 hours one evening/ morning before he finally fell asleep. He quit before two-a-days was over and left Baylor before school started. So yes, as far fetched as it sounds, it happens.

We needed some attrition to even out the classes. You hate to see these guys leave, but their doing so allows us to recruit a full(ish) 2019 class, which will keep us from repeating the same numbers game every four years.

Yep
My freshman year 1982 we had a kid from McGregor claimed he was homesick and quit before the first week of two days were over
I could never understand it considering all the hard work as effort it takes to get to that level

I don't tolerate the cowardly disrespect. Its unnecessary, and completely out of bounds....even on a free forum like this. So it is my choice to use the feature provided to us, in order to not clutter my feed with anything this punk has on his/her mind. It doesn't affect you; grow some nuts.

"Jersey is redefining attrition" is light years away from being the most inflammatory thing I have seen here regarding the new football coach. I think Coach Rhule will get much more respect when he starts proving Baylor can beat the UTSAs of the world.

Nice old-tread cheap shot; you fit on free site perfectly. CMR is already so many lightyears ahead of you in the category of respect, its stupid.

I'm sure most are thinking this but they wont say it. We love Baylor, I rather have Briles but I'm a Baylor alum and fan so I will ride with Rhule. However I'm an tired of of his raw raw speeches. Show me results and stop all the talking. Preach that process stuff to your players if you think it works. All I care about is wins on the field. He is already the most talkative coach at Baylor and has the least results. I don't remember Briles running his mouth like this, not Drew, not Mulkey or any of the other coaches who have been more successful. For coach and show me something, I don't need bgh your pep talks. He should of been a politician or lawyer because he can definitely sell you on some stuff

He deserves three years - period. Just like anyone taking over what he did, does/would. Anyone that argues with that is just plain stupid, or a non-Baylor troll.

Hmm, "All I care about is wins on the field." Nice to know.

Rhule talks like a chatty pro coach. He definitely is not the jock sniffer fan's coach. He went to a blue blood, those coaches and players have to tolerate the dinners and alumni jock worshiping events (what made Mack Brown great at UT and Art not hire able). He has his message and won't vary.

Kim runs her mouth. She's closer to Jody Condradt these days than Muffet McGraw. She gets a free pass because Ian gave her a dumb deal. She cannot go anywhere and get remotely the wide range of freedom she gets at Baylor. We ll see what she does with this #1 recruiting class.
Drew is Drew. He'd rather talk about players' souls than the game (Great Christian branding that the regents love) .

There is no bowl ban.
And why would anyone who is a Freshman or a redshirt give a crap about a possible 1-year bowl ban?
