The Portal will be flowing over the next few days as players and their agents get the 2026/2027 NIL numbers from their current schools and (in most cases) severely overestimate their worth.

Think the playing time, personality clash and program culture Portal crowds have mostly already entered. The Pay Me people are now on the clock.

Baylor really needs the PG, shooter and stretch 4 Portal crowds to be large.
Supply and Demand is such a brutal mistress at times.

I hope we have NIL to get most of that…... I suspect we will have to pay a hefty sum to keep Taliah.

Throw in timing, as well....possibly even luck.. You may wait to get what you want, but what you want is so slow to be available that you feel that you have to take the best available while there is still something from which to choose. You take that and then two weeks later what you really want opens up because of circumstances that cannot be foreseen. Then you either have no money left to get them or you have a situation where more could have been applied to another position had you not taken the first person, but stuck with someone that is otherwise not a complete waste, but not having the ability to fill another position to the level that the money warrants.

Agara of Stanford would be nice as a stretch.

Not great statistics for this past year. Only reason to mention because Baylor recruited her apparently.

She officially visited and we were top 3-5.

This sounds crazy to me after making sweet 16 this year as a play-in team.

Maybe Kymora Johnson jumps in the portal. If so - Spend some cash on her.

First thing I thought of when Virginia coach was fired was about Kymora Johnson. She is an impressive distributor and scorer. She makes everyone around her better. Love to have her for sure

Kymora will be a hot commodity if she does go to portal. Would love to have her but she won't be cheap….

Now this makes more sense.

A solid athletic rimrun/rebound option at the 4 to pair with a stretch 4.

Matchup options are good.

Looks like Taliah and Kayla are back next year! Those two felt like the biggest portal risks.

This is excellent news!! I am really glad Taliah, Kayla and Kyla will return. There is a lot of talent in the portal. I just hope we have the NIL to build a good team around Taliah.

A certain midseason add isn't in it. Interesting.

Well technically the midseason didn't play at Baylor this season so maybe that's why she is left out.

Possibly. Being on the Baylor official website this past season but not in the post simply seems noticeable.

i'm thinking she isn't on the run it back post because she wasn't able to play this past year.

Stanford having an exodus is very interesting. Their performance hasn't been great but they have a lot of great pieces. How long does the coach have left to try to get the program back?

Possibly next year is a hot seat year for the head coach but not sure. If it's not next year it's the following season or two.

This portal class would have to be the most important class of coach nickis career here at baylor, if she doesnt do well in the portal it might be over.
Bear3

How she does in the portal is going to largely depend on how much NIL money she has. I am not sure anyone on this board really knows that amount. It was not cheap to keep Taliah but I am very glad we were able to keep her.

Just hope Nicki has enough to build a good team around her…. I don't see Nicki getting any of the top portal players without good NIL..

i'm sure that was mentioned when creating a NIL contract. We are looking to go hard to get you great pieces around you. We have x, y, and z to spend based on what we give you.
