Baylor Bears suffer a major setback as standout linebacker Keaton Thomas enters the transfer portal, leaving the defense without its captain for 2026. Can new connections in the portal bring top-tier talent like Austin Romaine to Waco, or will Baylor struggle to replace their leading tackler? Host Cam Stuart scrutinizes the impact on Dave Aranda’s program culture and questions whether Baylor can attract high-caliber defensive playmakers in a turbulent offseason.

On the hardwood, Cameron Carr’s meteoric rise transforms Scott Drew’s squad, with Carr emerging as a potential NBA lottery pick after being snubbed from preseason rankings. What unlocked Carr’s explosiveness, and how far can Baylor basketball go with his elite scoring? Key topics include roster shake-ups, transfer strategies, and the program’s evolving identity amid change. Is Baylor football building for the future—or heading into another round of frustration?
