Saturday’s home game against Texas Tech will mark the last time several Baylor players take the field in McLane Stadium. It’s a group that has had to endure changes within the coaching staff, schemes, and culture. A group that has been near the bottom of the conference and has competed for Big 12 titles. Obviously, each of the seniors deserve appreciate from the Baylor fanbase, but lets be honest, Jalen Pitre is arguably the most popular senior of all time.
I don’t keep up with recruiting as much as others, but after the Bears lost all of the 2017 class except Pitre, I remember naively thinking that he must have stayed committed to Baylor because it was likely the only P5 opportunity he would have.
