Worth the read.
Waco media kicked off campus.
Garland told WFAA: "I'm always interested in people saying 'we need more transparency' when they ask me questions. And I say, 'Well, if we hadn't been so transparent, you wouldn't have known to ask me that question.'"
Garland also told WFAA that Baylor would become "the safest place on the planet."
Baylor will become the safest place on the planet because no one will know that it's not safe. Don't universities have some sort of PR people to help them navigate?
Is this where we begin to see releases or is it different in this case because he is a JUCO transfer?
He was apparently asked not to enroll per an insider on Baylor 247. He likely did something bad in his past that Briles was ok with, but Grobe was not. So it's totally different than the other signees.
Higdon:
Again, I am ONLY following this as it pertains to Texas and recruiting.....so here goes......
I just had a call from someone who filled me in on some pretty interesting stuff. The entire bring Briles back deal is a ploy to try and keep recruits. They are hoping that some of the recruits would cave/enroll thinking Briles would get the one-year suspension, but the powers that be know they aren’t or can’t bring him back. Also, Baylor has already reached out to three people regarding the head coaching job, two of them are Dino Babers and Todd Graham. I was told Grobe would or could be the next Baylor AD.
Charlie Strong is real, that's why he owns recruiting in Texas (Hummer)
Very good article!

Sam's team for the opening, I believe first week of July.
"This is a very dirty place that we've seen has been very conniving and low down. It's hard to fathom because not only is this a university, but it's a Christian university."
Skip Bayless and Stephen A are both currently condemning Baylor on ESPN First Take!
This is the original cover that this year's version is honoring.

Some news on DE Erick Fowler in here.
LB Tyler Taylor of Buford, GA talks about his unofficial visit to Texas (OrangeBloods):
"I’m really trying to do that (trim list of schools) in the next week or so, but I don’t know if that will happen," Taylor said. "A lot of schools are coming at me so that makes it hard trying to figure out which schools to narrow it down to."
"I think I’m pretty open right now. I do like Texas a lot," Taylor said. "I had a really deep man to man conversation with coach (Charlie) Strong and with my mom. I thought that was really cool."
"Probably the community," Taylor said when asked what stood out about the visit. "I had a Texas shirt on, everywhere I went it was ‘Hook’Em Horns.’ I probably heard that like 20 times before I got on campus. I thought that was pretty cool."
"They think they’re going to have a big year this year," Taylor said. "After this year, they’re going to need linebackers so it would be the perfect chance for me to come in and play early."
"It is tough, but I’m kind of mixed on that right now. Sometimes I want to be far away from home, sometimes I want to be close to home," Taylor said. "I’m really used to it though because I used to play AAU basketball and we traveled all over the country all the time."
"She’s (Taylor's mother) going to support me whatever I do, if I stay close to home or go away. But she says it is good to go see different parts of the world," Taylor said.
Per 24/7, OL Creed Humphrey of Shawnee, OK plans to visit Texas again this summer.
It looks like it could be July for the "Under the Lights" camp.

A "water is wet" update, but Scout reporting the push to reinstate Briles at Baylor is officially dead and contract settlement talks are under way.
I see 3 future Longhorns on that roster ��Sam's team for the opening, I believe first week of July.
Don't forget Malik will be there.
Some excerpts:
"A lawsuit filed Wednesday against Baylor University cites three women as victims of sexual assault, including one who said she was assaulted by a Bears football player ON CAMPUS in April 2014."
--So there goes the "everything was off campus" "argument"
"The other two alleged assailants are not identified as athletes"
-So it's not just football players that get away with it.
The woman in Wednesday's lawsuit who reported the assault involving the football player stated that she went to a university physician two days after the incident, and the physician "misinformed Jane Doe 1 and concealed from Jane Doe 1 as to her options to further report the incident," according to the lawsuit.
"The lawsuit stated that she also reported the alleged assault to the Baylor campus advocacy center during final exams, but the university did not provide her any assistance, and she was "left to cope with the situation alone and in fear.""..."Stress caused her to perform poorly in her classes. She lost her academic scholarship and dropped out after fall 2015."
"The second incident detailed in the lawsuit alleges an assault from 2004... She reported it to her chaplain at the Baylor dorm and the dorm hall director was informed. She also made a report to Baylor police, whom she states misinformed and concealed from her the consequences for filing a report, which discouraged her from naming the person whom she said assaulted her. When she went to the Baylor Health Center, she said they did a physical exam, but no rape kit...she ended up reporting the incident to an assistant dean -- who later encouraged her to withdraw from school after her grades began to suffer"
" The third woman stated that she and her alleged assailant were both staff members at the university dorms and that she was sexually harassed and assaulted by him from fall 2013 through December 2015. Although the lawsuit did not name him, it stated that he was "an assistant to the highest officials in the University."...she sought counseling in fall 2014, but after she exhausted her free sessions, the Baylor counseling center told her she'd have to look elsewhere for treatment. The lawsuit states that she also reported the alleged assault to the health center, and eventually to Baylor police"
" Attorney John Clune of Boulder, Colorado, who represented the former Baylor women's soccer player in her case against the school, told Outside the Lines last month that he might have as many as three additional victims who might file lawsuits against Baylor."
I really pity women when I read stuff like this. This isn't a Baylor problem, it's happening everywhere and they get little help.
Tweets that Fowler got the score that he needed in his SAT! Nothing official but it sounds very positive.
