Baylor Bears football faces a turning point after landing their lowest-ranked recruiting class in over two decades—but could this surprise setback spark a new path forward? Cam Stuart explores how missing out on top high school commits might empower Baylor to reallocate vital NIL funds toward proven talent in the transfer portal, raising the stakes for head coach Dave Aranda’s 2026 trajectory. Discover which positions command the biggest price tags, the hidden advantages of roster resets, and why Baylor must outmaneuver powerhouse programs with deeper pockets.

The conversation heats up as Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark publicly calls out Notre Dame’s leadership, potentially ending any rumors of the Irish joining the Big 12. Plus, Michigan’s shocking firing of Sherrone Moore could send transfer shockwaves through college football, possibly opening the door for coveted recruit Jamarion Vincent to reconsider the Bears. Can Baylor capitalize on chaos across the college landscape? Don’t miss Cam Stuart’s unfiltered analysis and fan Q&A.
