Baylor Men’s Basketball Starts Summer Workouts With Entirely New Roster

Baylor men's basketball is undergoing a complete roster rebuild with no returning players from last season, as the entire previous team either exhausted eligibility or entered the transfer portal. Head coach Scott Drew expressed surprise at the departure of guard Robert Wright, who had reportedly agreed to stay with Baylor but transferred to BYU for a more lucrative NIL deal. The new roster features eight transfers and a four-player signing class, including experienced players with over 500 combined games, as well as a five-star prospect and the son of an NBA champion. Drew emphasized addressing last year's lack of length and depth while maintaining team culture. This overhaul contrasts with the Baylor women's team, which retains a core group and focuses on building postseason success. Both programs share a goal of laying a strong foundation during summer workouts amid these differing team dynamics.
