Baylor is set for its third official visitors weekend for the 2024 recruiting class. It’s been a flurry of activity since this past Friday.
On Wednesday, the Bears added to their class with the addition of Tidehaven running back Joseph Dodds. That brings the total number of pledges in this class to eight. Dodds had taken his official visit the previous weekend.
Baylor’s set number is an unknown given the program’s attention to the NCAA transfer portal. However, an educated guess probably puts the number at about 15.
Here’s a look at the visitors who start their visits on Friday. Traditionally, recruits do not commit following their visits. Never say never but given the non-commits who are arriving along with their recruiting nuggets, it doesn't appear Baylor is in line to lock anyone down.
Call it a celebration of some sorts. The Bears were the heavy favorites in this process. And it came to fruition when he announced on June 14. Wokomah is the No. 64 rated safety in the country according to Rivals.
This is the last of three OVs for the talented tight end out of Arizona. He visited Ole Miss on June 2 and then Arizona State on June 9. Baylor’s approach on this will be interesting. It has a stacked tight end room and it’s not clear what Hipp would offer. There is the sense Ole Miss leads.
Sieracki committed way back on Jan. 31 and will have the dream of playing with his brother, 2022 signee Kaden. Many recruiting analysts believe he’s the better of the two brothers. Of course, time will tell. Siercacki’s commitment to Baylor has been pretty solid.
Reed recently named Baylor to his Top 3. The other two are Oklahoma State and Utah. This is the third of his three official visits. Reed took an unusually early one to Stillwater, OK on April 21 and then visited Utah on June 9. This is going to be a close call between the Bears, Utes and Cowboys whenever he decides.
With Baton Rouge OL Jude Foster committing to Ole Miss recently, that opened up a spot to host another offensive lineman. Enter Akinkunmi, who went to the RGIII camp this past week, impressed and received the offer. The native of London, who is from the NFL Academy, announced on Monday he was coming to Waco this weekend. He has other P5 offers from Minnesota, Duke, Washington State and Texas Tech.
The conventional wisdom is that Utah leads for Saleapaga. Rivals FutureCasts have him heading to Salt Lake City. But the Bears get their chance to change his mind or at least give him something further to consider.
The Shreveport (LA) native doesn’t have the most impressive offer list. That’s why the Bears are the odds-on favorite in this recruitment. We’ll see what happens. His length at 6-6 is something that’s hard to discount.
