You can believe what you want to believe. I have no doubt there are kids out there who want to go to Baylor no matter what. But are they highly sought after kids? I highly doubt it. Any highly ranked recruit isn't going to waste they commitment to a program that has a completely black hole in terms of its future going forward. Baylor really has nothing to sell to recruits in regards to it's football program right no cuz it has no identity going forward and no definite course going forward. Recruits have zero idea what their offensive philosophy will be going forward. Recruits have zero idea what their defensive philosophy will be going forward. If you were a recruit, why would you commit to that?
If I was a bigtime recruit that would love to attend Baylor, I would be waiting to see what happens with the coaching staff after the season before making up my mind.
