The Roster, The Fit, The Churn, The Bowl
As I outlined in an article two months ago, the 2018 and 2019 classes for Baylor are basically gone from campus. The inherited players from Matt Rhule either didn't fit, were injured, or didn't perform up to the standards of the current staff. A few 2017 Super Seniors were also eligible to play.In the bowl game, those were churned even further with four starters missing the game due to opt out or allegedly stupid out.Players eligible to be on the Class of 2017 Khalil Keith OL - starter, sent homeGavin Holmes WR - starterBryson Jackson LB - specialty pass rusherChidi Ogbonnaya DL - backupCole Maxwell DL - starterClass of 2018Craig Williams RB - backupByron Hanspard S - great for locker roomConnor Galvin OL - starterChristian Morgan S - starterBen Sims TE - starterMark Milton CB - starter that opted outIssac Power P - starter kicking into a 25+ mph windClass of 2019Jaylen Ellis WR - backupMatt Jones LB - starterWill Williams LB - backupQualan Jones RB - backupGarmon Randolph JACK - starterTJ Franklin DE - starterGabe Hall DT - starterElijah Ellis OL - back upNoah Rauschenberg K - starter, kickoff specialist13 starters of the 24 from these three classes and 2 were not available and 2 are kickers. In 2023, at least four of these players return The depth is coming from the 2020/21/22/23 classes instead of the natural 2018/19 progression.Class of 2020 Starters Blake Shapen - QBTaye McWilliams - RBDrake Dabney - TEGavin Byers - OLLorando Johnson, Jr. CB, sent home from bowlAlfahiym Walcott - SClass of 2021 StartersHal Presley - WRMonaray Baldwin - WRSiaki Ika - NT, opted out of bowlClass of 2022 StartersRichard Reese - RBKelsey Johnson - TEClass of 2023 Starters/Transfers InCampbell Barrington - OLClark Barrington - OLKetron Jackson - WRJerrell Boykins - NTPalmer Williams - P15 of the 24 spots are essentially filled with players from 2020 and later. While not all are the same age or experience due to the portal, like the 2023 signees/transfers filling at least five spots of the the 15. The young classes will have to step up in 2023 if more portal transfers are not brought in to fill the gaps of 2018/19.

Practice Observations: 3/29
I'm not going to wax poetic on what I observed in the 15-20 minutes of pre-practice yesterday, but several things did stand out to me during that period. I spent much of my time with OL/DL/JACK and then used the rest of the time with STAR and FS. You can tell the amount of time Vic and staff are pouring into the playersThe team is bigger in bodies and size. Just a better roster for this Spring run and into the Fall compared to the last two years with 3 deep across all positionsMose Jeffery seems to be taking the 1st string guard opening as he led warmups and took reps with 1st teamMicah Mazzccua looks like he's back up Mose and this will be a battle to watchThe other OL piece I noticed, outside of new technique was Grant Miller runing smoe 1st team at CThe new techniques looked to be an added jab step for power blocking and a leverage technique Mateos was executing himself to teach the players what he wantedI asked David Kaye how accurate the weights were for the players and he said the staff doesn't care what they weigh in the Spring on paper. I joked that we'll take the brunt of that info not being right for him on the message boards. He's still handling Football and Basketball SID gigs, which used to be two people, so if you see him, tell him thanks for te hard work he does.Galvin looks like you'd expect.Tate Williams wasn't out there, but have heard not to worryHave heard Williams is still off on pass protection, but he's got a year more to learnOk, let's talk Jackie Marshall. There is no way, no way he's 235. His legs are bigger than Gabe Hall and he's pushing 270+ and fluid. During a pass tip drill he just plucked the ball out of the air for an INT instead of batting it away. I'm not sure he gets on the field in front of Randolph, Obi, or Anyanwu to start, but he's going to be trouble late in games if an opponent thinks there will be a dropoff.Anthony Anyanwu looks great as well and recovered from the broken leg last year right before the season. He was the starter before the injury, so that tells you his potential. He's a solid 250ish and the explosion is thereJordan Jenkins just looks different than the other backs and that takes nothing away from Taye McWilliams or Josh Fleeks, but the thud from the blocking pad hitting him is like hearing Bo Jackson hit a baseball and Dickie ThonMcWilliams looks good and is running 1st reps and has more home run hitting ability than Jenkins from a speed standpoint, but late in a game is where Jenkins is going to demoralize defenses just dragging them for yards. Fleeks and Squirrel are great changes of pace and the speed jumps a little when each gets the ballGetting both in space will be something the new offensive sets utilizes or from what I could observe as each ran some quick curl routes for the QBsDevin Neal looks good as did Devin Lemear STAR is loaded with Christian Morgan, Romario Noel Lorando Johnson, Jr. out there with physicalityCoach Aranda has a notebook/notepad he carries around with him taking notes of position groups. Not sure if he's curing cancer on that notepad or just jotting down quick notes to review later, but it was something new compared to last year.

National Average Rating

The National Average Rating is a proprietary formula that calculates an industry-wide aggregate rating for each recruiting prospect. The formula includes publicly listed grades, scores, ratings and rankings by national recruiting services, along with a SicEm365 rating. Combining the data provides a rating for each prospect, which is then normalized to fit the SicEm365 Rating 100-point scale.

The intent of this rating is to provide SicEm365 readers with a comprehensive snapshot of how individual prospects rank nationally.
