Please Bear with Me is back after a few weeks off to cover all the news surrounding the Baylor Bears. Coaching switch ups, decommits, commits, transfer portal news, and of course a preview of the Air Force game are all on the table this episode.

Travis begins the episode congratulating the Bears who were awarded All Big 12 Team honors. Dillon Doyle was the story of this year's honorees making both the 2nd team defensive and offensive teams. Congratulations Dillon! Then Travis will talk about the release of Defensive Coordinator Ron Roberts and Safeties/Special Teams coach Ronnie Wheat. He'll discuss who's at the top of his list to replace Coach Roberts.

Then Bears Illustrated recruiting analyst Jordan Scruggs joins Please Bear with Me. He'll discuss the recent interest from Oregon in Austin Novasod and the decommitments from the Bear's recruiting class. Jordan will react to the transfer portal news and is sure Baylor will lose a few more following the bowl game. Baylor did pick up 2 transfer portal commits in OL Campbell Barrington from BYU and Jerrell Boykins DT from Hutchinson Community College.

Jordan will end with his thoughts on the changing landscape of NIL, recruiting, and the transfer portal. He gives his take on if recruiting classes will lose importance and value moving forward with the transfer portal.

Finally, Travis gets you ready for the Bears final matchup of the season vs Air Force. Air Force has a stout defense and the staple of their offense is the triple option which has shown the ability to give other team's fits. It'll be important for Baylor to play physical and do their 1/11th on defense, but it might be just what the Bears need heading into next season.

It's going to be a freezing day in Fort Worth so bundle up and Sic em Bears!
