Welcome Baylor!

Verbal Commits reports Jacob Hutson signed his LOI.

On edit: I'm wondering whether Verbal Commits is confusing our Jacob Hutson with a different Jacob Hutson who just signed a LOI to play baseball. Odd that Loyola wouldn't put out a press release like they did when Hebb signed.

On double edit: I did a little checking. A Letter of Intent commits the school to provide an athletic scholarship for the next year. I'm thinking the fact (my presumption) that Hutson hasn't signed a LOI suggests he is going to be a preferred walk-on next year and probably redshirt as part of a 4 for 5 scholarship deal.

After starting their season on a 3 game losing streak, Coffeyville Herritage High School has won 6 out of their last 7. Baylor Hebb has been great early in the season, frequently scoring in the mid to upper 20's including a 44 point outburst (albeit in a loss). He’s such a smooth player, and scores at will on all 3 levels, kind of a Clayton/Marques hybrid in terms of scoring ability on all 3 levels. Obviously needs to put on weight to deal with physicality, but almost every freshman does.

He’s also caught the attention of BallisLife, easily the most popular mixtape series. Here’s a few videos…

Not a big highlight mixtape guy, but I've watched this five times.

Baylor Hebb continues to put up huge numbers in Dallas; he leads the Fort Worth area in scoring. Looks like he's starting to add some weight too which is a good sign.

Him and Kennedy will be fun to watch together.

So we have two signed for next year and have one spot left...but according to verbal commits ..no offers out.....Are we waiting for a plug and play graduate transfer? or are we going to save one for the following year ...or a transfer to balance the classes more ?

I think we have one spot next year total (Bruno's) and two already coming in...meaning we are currently one over. Someone posted that Hutson is going to walk-on his first year, but I am not sure if I believe that--he has some decent D1 offers (Bonnies, UNI, Bradley, George Washington, SIU, etc.). Not sure why he would turn down scholarships there to walk on here.

Assuming Hutson is getting a scholarship, we would be one over next year.

Nate, we have no 2020 scholarships left. In fact we would be one over the 13 scholarship limit if Hutson hadn't agreed to a nonscholarship red shirt freshman year.
Get with the program!

I heard that Hutson's family has some very close ties to the university which was more important than the scholarship.
