"The Most Honest Power Four Head Coach I've Met": How Baylor earned Jackson Blackwell's commitment

Baylor wasn't on the top of Jackson Blackwell's offer list when he drove 15 minutes from his house in Lorena to Waco for his official visit on June 14. Then he sat down with head coach Dave Aranda.

“He’s the most honest Power Four head coach I’ve ever met," Blackwell said. "All the players I met with told me that’s the reason they stayed at Baylor, was Coach Aranda.”
