hey what ever happened to Bakari Turner from Plano West in Plano?

We attend Cornerstone at Highland Park United Methodist Church in Dallas. Our Pastor, Paul Rasmussen, is in the middle of a sermon series entitled, "Where are they now?" which asks where have virtues like loyalty, purity, integrity, gratitude and discipline gone in today's world. Today's...

Didn't see this posted. Fred Ellis tweeted a pic of Acy sporting Udoh's new jersey.

This is why young talent is so attracted to his personality and why he will never find a better coaching fit than Baylor. This is from today's chapel. I must appoligize though. Had I had any idea that he was going to be our speaker today, I would have gotten a much better seat; thus,...

I stumbled across this magazine, and I saw Lace on the cover... thus an automatic purchase. After thoroughly looking throughout the magazine, I noticed a couple of things: 1. Athlon has Lace listed as the #1 scorer in the nation. 2. Lace is a preseason 1st team all-american. 3. Lace is the...

watching team USA play in the worlds on here? A couple friends and I have been watching each game, and loving it. I am always shocked how lightly our country takes competitive basketball when its not the olympics or played on US soil. This tourney is definitely fun, and our team had a very...

I like his game from the video- very smooth. Can score in a lot of different ways. Seems like the type that would replace a lot of Lace's production after some grooming. I also am partial to these kids that shoot up the charts late in the process. My perception is they tend to overachieve...

- First thing I noticed was that Fred Ellis looks taller. I asked him if he had grew any and he said no and that he had been the same height since his junior year in high school. It might of been because I had not seen him in awhile. I like Fred this year, I think he will play a big support role...

While myself and the other officers are currently still in the decision making process for the upcoming season, I was curious to get answers to the following questions: Who would be interested in possibly purchasing a slightly modified Bear Pit jersey from the bookstore? How much would you...

If we don't make the tournament(which we won't) , Baylor MUST bring in someone that can win big games at home. Scott Drew did a great job getting Baylor to this point, but it looks like his time is up.

According to Evan Daniels of Scout. https://twitter.com/EvanDanielscout/status/21973345340 I believe they were going to come on either the 9/11 football game against Buffalo or the conference opener against Kansas. If they're pushing it back, I hope they visit for Homecoming vs K-State....

At one point in time we were really after him. I wonder if there are any connections or interest still there. He didn't exactly overly impress last year but it was only 1 year and maybe not a good fit. Former refugee Majok withdraws from Connecticut CBSSports.com wire reports Sep. 1, 2010...

Nash http://www.draftexpress.com/article/adidas-Nations-Player-Profile-LeBryan-Nash-3538/ Sounds like he is intense on the floor. I like it. We'll need some one to replace Lace's intensity Austin http://www.draftexpress.com/article/adidas-Nations-Player-Profile-Isaiah-Austin-3534 Sounds...

http://www.hogville.net/yabbse/index.php?topic=356722.0 Madden headed to UConn for visit based on this report. They also have the typical "Baylor is going to get the death penalty" talk in this thread. Mentioned that Madden made weekend trip to Waco. Any confirmation of that?

Maurice Harkless plans to visit BU and KU according to NY Post. Harkless is the #86 player in the 2011 class and #19 SF http://rivals.yahoo.com/Baylor/basketball/recruiting/player-Maurice-Harkless-100549;_ylt=AtIQee_NXtRdXbVo4.171CZhrJB4

No idea how I came across this... Wrist injury or not, Nightmare seems to be finding productive ways to keep morale high. :) Scroll down the page to find him... http://tharealderickg.blogspot.com/2010/08/exclusive-party-ekpe-udoh-private-yacht.html RGVbear

Lots of articles out there about this. Probably won't happen, but it would be interesting to say the least. http://www.clutchfans.net/

I wanted to put together a list of Twitter "handles" (usernames) of Baylor basketball players (past, present and future) along with recruits, coaches, etc. Here is what I have come up with (please add if you know of others): Current BU players: Quincy Acy - QuincyAcy Fred Ellis - FreddyE3...

Will you think Kobe can surpass Jordan in 2011?

Link: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=A ... gets082610 My opinion is that he'll be gone as well. It seems more likely that Denver will be trading him, so at least they can get something in return. I am curious to see if Denver will agree to do a sign & trade, so Anthony can still get...

On campus and enrolled in classes per Baylor online directory accessible to students and faculty.

Sorry if this has been posted already. Heard on 1660 yesterday that Ekpe will be at the Sam Houston State football game at the media tent prior to the game as part of a sendoff party. Rock on Ekpe!

Its as expected but he told rivals today so its more the speculation. Nash has Bu, Osu, and KU in his final 3 http://coast2coastrecruiting.net/2010/08/nash-has-a-top-three/

When other schools question why 5 star recruits would choose Baylor, they often cite a bad facility as one of the reasons a player wouldn't choose Baylor. Say what? I wonder if these people have ever been into the building. It's a phenomenal home court advantage - 10,000 fans crammed around...
