The Baylor Bears will look to bounce back on the road on Thursday night in Morgantown vs the West Virginia Mountaineers. Baylor does not have a very good track record when visiting West Virginia and things can get weird on Thursday nights, but the Bears need a win to get back on track for the loaded back half of their schedule.

This week Travis is joined by Brian Horn, recruiting analyst for Bears Illustrated. Brian kicks off the show breaking down Baylor's recruiting strategy and their ability to find a "diamond in the rough". Baylor was able to make the connection early with 4 stat QB Austin Novosad before his national recruitment took off, and Brian thinks that went a long way in his decision. Novosad chose Baylor over perennial powers in Ohio State and Notre Dame and then that other school Texas A&M. 

Then Brian will dive a little deeper into next year's class and who he thinks could have an impact early in their career like Richard Reese is doing for the Bears this year. He also clues us into who he thinks is the most underrated recruit of the '23 class. Brian thinks the Bears still have room for 1-2 more guys in next year's class and he breaks down what position he'd like the see Baylor add.

The guys will wrap up with a quick synopsis of West Virginia and the outlook for the game. They both agree the deep passing attack of West Virginia is the matchup to watch for, and if the Mountaineers are going to win that's how it will happen.

Here's to hoping for a normal night in West Virginia, but honestly doubt that will happen. Weirdness will likely ensue. Sic 'em!
