Last season’s success doesn’t change the mentality for the Bears as they look to repeat as national champions.

Baylor has a very passionate and committed fanbase, however not all members of Baylor necessarily root for the Bears when it comes to athletics.

Five players from Baylor men’s basketball head coach Scott Drew’s first two recruiting classes, credited with being the foundation for the national championship team, are being recognized by Baylor Athletics for their efforts.

The core of the Baylor men’s basketball championship team are starting the next phases of their careers and are already turning heads.

In addition to Drew, President Linda Livingstone and junior center Flo Thamba were in attendance for the presentation, where Thamba gave Cornyn a commemorative basketball.
