Vernon Jackson

It's been far too long since my last update. I blame it on the one-month old and the dead period that started at the beginning of August. If you were curious about where the recruiting updates went, look no further than the dead period and fall practice beginning for high schools earlier this week. Previous Update (15 commitments)Commitment reflections:Connor Galvin - In my last update on July 4th, I gave Galvin a 49% chance of committing to Baylor. Two days after giving that percentage, I put my prediction in for Galvin to eventually commit to the Bears. Unfortunately, I did not get to put in my updated percentage before his commitment.Christoph Henle - Similarly, I gave my last prediction for Henle on July 4th at 35% and I never put my prediction in for Henle to commit to Baylor... which he eventually did on 7/21. Blame it on the one-week old that you didn't get an update. Joseph Ogunbanjo - He was sitting at 51% at the last update and my prediction was in on July 31, the day before his commitment. Man... I apologize, guys, for the lack of updates on all three of these guys leading up to their commitments.

Nothing is telling me to change it right now. - Williams .... as you saw with Amy's recent update, Williams might take visits before deciding. Or he might not. Regardless, this one is Baylor's to lose at this point.- Bush .... with as much smoke as there is about Bush and Texas I couldn't not drop him some. But I still feel good about Baylor's chances here at the end of all of it. - Allen .... he's new to the list and this one is coming down to Baylor, TCU and maybe UCLA. During his official visit Allen told several people he was heading to Baylor. He then opted to head JUCO so he wouldn't have to sit out of football for a second year in a row. Fortunately for me and you, he's within a rocks throw (not literally) of my house at TJC. I'll be seeing a lot of him. - Pines .... Continue to watch this name. Baylor could take all three of the lineman listed even with the four they have committed. Allen being a three-for-three guy allows this to work and stay within that max of six HS OL.- Wire .... At this time I would not be surprised at all to see Baylor get an official visit from Wire. - Brown .... Sept 2 unofficial visit to Baylor and he has told me that he will take an official visit to Baylor as well. We will see if that happens, but he loves the staff. - Jackson .... Losing faith here but the longer he holds off on a commitment the better. If Baylor has to take him on offense to get him, I don't see it being a big loss. New offersBaylor recently offered LB/DE Javontae Jean-Baptiste out of New Jersey and DT Israel Antwine of OKC. I expect JJB to officially visit Baylor this fall, but unsure on Antwine. Texas offered in late July. We will see how these go before I give percentages.
