Think we're getting Aidoo but I wonder who else we might snag.

Any chance Drew could help recruit in football too?

Yeah possible. Not sure he's really a big name though. And I think he ends up at Tenn

Our 2025 class is currently second in the Big 12 behind only Tech. The only question is whether our staff will win enough games to retain their jobs and keep it together.

If we actually somehow some way got back to having a consistently nationally relevant football program like the one we needlessly blew up 8 years ago (and like we currently have in bball) there would be no need for Drew to help with football recruiting.

Getting your MBB Coach to recruit a 4* defensive lineman is about as effective (but not quite as awkward) as your Mom helping you get a date for the prom.

Is Arkansas after him?

Seems that way. If $$ is the deciding factor the Hogs likely win out and get Aidoo

No offense to you but i heard this nonsense on the premium boards for years. We were always the champions of the too early commitments and bragging about how we were in the top 2 or 3 in April and May because we would offer before anyone else and kids would commit just to post on social media. Then as they got other offers they were gone within 4-6 months. None of our classes ended up holding together and we finished middle of the pack as always by the time signing day actually got here. Same thing will happen this year as you already saw today with Schobel.

No offense as well... I'd be thrilled to see better things happening, Football wise, but would appreciate taking the football anxiety comments to the designated forum for that. We have enough basketball anxiety in this forum as it is.

Are you referring to football? Baylor is number 6 in the Big 12 in 2025 rankings, 5 spots behind Tech. According to Rivals.

I'm not bragging about anything. Just stating facts.

If I was betting man, I'd say this staff most probably won't even be here next offseason, so our current rankings are likely irrelevant. But Aranda and Co. are off to a pretty good start with the 2025 class.

I was basing that off old data.

But we were still third in the Big 12 as recently as Friday. Unfortunately, we've lost two of our better recruits since then.

Gotcha. Yes, I looked at 247 and noticed we were 6, not 2. I guess things can go downhill, or uphill, pretty quickly. For as pleased as I am about basketball, I'm the opposite about football.

I'm in wait-and-see mode with both. But both the floor and ceiling are way, way higher with our basketball program currently.

The football program is in a pretty depressing state right now, but my expectations are low. Maybe they'll surprise me. I like the staff Aranda assembled over the offseason, but it feels like too little, too late to me.

Drew vs Cal

Milicic expected to announce his commitment to Tennessee tonight at 7. Aidoo expected to sign with Arkansas during his visit scheduled for this weekend.

Whiffed on both. Was Norlander implying someone else when he said others?

On to the next target. There are a lot of good, productive players in the portal, and Scott Drew's track record of attracting such players is long and well established.

Aidoo would be a significant miss. Think he would have made our ceiling incredibly high.
Wasn't all that high on Igor. Interested to see who we target next

True. Rutgers guy is still out there right? Good defender which is what we mostly need anyway. We have enough guys who can fill up the bucket.

I was hoping for both. Aidoo is a good two-way post and Milicic would have been a skilled 6-10 wing who could have produced Jalen Bridges percentages from 3.

But neither is irreplaceable.

I don't know what his recruitment is currently looking like, but I wouldn't mind seeing us pivot to Brandon Garrison from Oklahoma State in the post. That dude is oozing with potential.

Cliff O would be my top choice now that it's likely Aidoo is headed to Arky. Harrison is intriguing as well. There's a big from Utah St who would be a big get as well. His names slipping me. But he's a man amongst boys at least in the games I saw

Can confirm.

The BU game I went to in Stillwater, he didn't miss a shot or free throw. Had 20 & 8, along with 4 blocks.

I don't like our odds on Aidoo after he visited and didn't sign. But where did you see he's expected to sign with Arkansas during his visit?

I agree love Garrison screams someone who would fit our model of developing bigs into monsters.

I hope we land him, but this article is a tad old, as in it was written at the time of or before his visit to baylor finished.
