Gotta say, hard to dislike Scott Drew.

I'm sure these players worked hard and they proved themselves a pretty clear #1 as they were ranked #2 almost all year and just destroyed the team that was #1 all year. I'm sure there are some fine people and some not so fine people around their department.
That said. People are being naive if they think things are squeaky clean at Baylor University.
It's not unlike when the MLB players heads all increased 2x in size and everyone suddenly started hitting 60+ home runs. Some people loved it totally oblivious, some knew something was up but still enjoyed it, and some knew exactly what was going on and viewed from a skeptical lens. There's always been too much smoke in regards to scandal around Baylor athletics, to think that we know about all of it and that it all ended is naive. The women's coach's reflexive defense of serial rapists is one of the biggest indicators that the moral decay runs deep.
Branch Davidians to have a baby boom in 9 months.
Is 15 and 9 bad? Garza scores 30 on everyone. Timme is a liability on defense though. Gonzaga's biggest issues: no rim protection and no bench.
I am happy for Baylor and Big 12 Basketball. But, I am especially happy for Scott Drew. We all used to joke about his use of timeouts, game clock management, etc. But he evolved as a coach and stayed loyal to Baylor. I believe Fred Hoiberg could have eventually done the same if he chose to stay at ISU.
And Baylor would still kick the **** out oc the Hawkeyes. **** Iowa!!
If Drew stays, Baylor will be one of the top notch programs for a while. Texas money. Texas talent. Now they have a national title. It could become a monster.
I don't know about all that, but are there NBA players on Baylor? Honest question. Mitchell might be a Marcus Smart. Maybe Butler earns a bench spot. They're not loaded with play for pay 5 stars.
The Gonzaga issues might be accurate, but they won every game they played except the last one. Their weaknesses aren't so week.
Believe they are suppose to be building a new arena/practice facility here soon as well.
No kidding. Baylor's roster seems like a blue print ISU would have to follow. Not sure why that has to be shady.
I don't think their recruiting now is suspect in relation to where their program is...I did suspect it when they started having their best basketball success almost immediately after a murder coverup.
The bigger issue is that it's a known fact Baylor had a lawless immoral culture where rape was swept under the rug as if it were nothing. That doesn't just go away overnight and there was a lot of evidence that it wasn't neatly confined to the football coaching staff and players.
Who knows how much we know and how it really is, just color me zero surprised if it's even worse than we know or if more comes out in the future.
