🔺 Future So Bright, We Need Shades. Off to a 4-0 start, the future continues to be bright for the BU men’s hoops program.

After the past week, you might want to get some shades because that future got even brighter during the early signing period.

For the fourth straight season, Baylor signed a top-25 recruiting class with the signings of Jason Asemota, Noah Boyed and Rob Wright all inked letters of intent to play with the Bears in 2024-25.

Asemota and Wright sign as five-star prospects, giving Drew and the Bears at least one five-star signee in each of the last four classes, according to Rivals and 247 Sports.

🔺 Keep It Rollin’. Still on a high from Tuesday’s win over #4 Utah, the BU women’s squad will be back in Ferrell on Sunday afternoon.

Coach Collen and the Bears take on Ivy League foe Harvard at 1 pm on Sunday looking to improve to 3-0 early in the 2023-24 season.

Dre’Una Edwards (17.0 ppg) and Sarah Andrews (16.0 ppg) are leading a potent offensive attack that is averaging 84.5 points per game through the first two games of the year.

🏈 BATTLE FOR THE BLUEBONNET

The most played rivalry in the state of Texas commences yet again this weekend in Fort Worth as the Bears look to bounce back and finish the 2023 season strong.

BU heads to TCU to battle the Horned Frogs for the 119th time in the storied history of the Bluebonnet Battle.

The Green & Gold are looking for their first win at TCU since 2019 when BU won a triple OT thriller, 29-23.
