Baylor’s gamble on DJ Lagway is starting to look a whole lot smarter now that the Bears are actually giving him somebody to throw to. After landing the former Florida quarterback, Dave Aranda and his staff spent the past week frantically trying to patch together a receiving corps that had been gutted by departures. But the Bears just flipped that narrative in a major way, landing a proven SEC receiver who can immediately step in as Lagway’s primary target.

Kentucky transfer wide receiver Hardley Gilmore IV has flipped his commitment from Louisville to Baylor. It gives the Bears a much-needed playmaker on the perimeter. The former four-star prospect from Pahokee, Florida, had originally committed to the Cardinals just two days earlier. But Baylor swooped in with a last-minute pitch that convinced Gilmore to change course and head to Waco instead.

It’s the second time Gilmore has flipped commitments in the portal. He briefly committed to Nebraska last season before returning to Kentucky. But this time, it appears the move is final. Baylor has secured his signature before another program could intervene.
