Roach is expected to seamlessly step into the starting lineup for Baylor, leveraging the success the program has had with transfer guards in the past. Additionally, Baylor is reportedly in talks with Tennessee transfer Jonas Aidoo, ranked #8 overall in the Portal at this time, further enhancing their potential roster. With these acquisitions alongside highly touted recruit V.J. Edgecombe, Baylor is poised to become an even stronger contender.
More big names coming soon for Baylor, too. Scott Drew's roster may well be top-five in the eyes of many before too long. https://t.co/AVDYq8l32R
