<p>Lost amid the euphoria over Baylor's win today over the Eagles of Boston College was the news that our third recruit in the 2013 class signed his LOI to play for Scott Drew and the Baylor Bears.</p> <p>This update is going to be pretty short since the title says everything I intended to say. The final recruit (for now) of the 2013 class, 4* PF/C Dominic Woodson, signed this afternoon in a ceremony at his school. That brings our total up to 3 in the Fall Signing Period after the LOIs for Johnathan Motley and Ishmail Wainright came in yesterday. </p>

<p>Baylor has three commits looking to sign in the Fall Signing Period for the 2013 class. </p> <p>Just like I've done today with the WBB and baseball teams, this is the thread where I'll chart the signings for Baylor Men's Basketball in the 2013 Fall Signing Period (It's really the 2012 signing period, but you see why I call it that. It's for the 2012 class.)</p>
<p>So far, two of the three recruits in the 2013 class have signed already. Those two are:</p>
<h4>Johnathan Motley-- 6-9, 205 PF -- <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ourdailybears.com/2012/9/13/3325252/report-baylor-mbb-gets-commit-1-for-2013-johnathn-motley">ODB's commit coverage</a> -- <a target="_blank" href="http://espn.go.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/144045/johnathan-motley">ESPN 3*</a> -- <a target="_blank" href="http://247sports.com/Player/Johnathan-Motley-20520">247Sports 4*</a> -- <a target="_blank" href="http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Johnathan-Motley-121979">Rivals 4*</a>

<p>I say Motley signed because he was supposed to sign and I haven't seen any information to the contrary. If/when I do, I will update the thread.</p>
<h4>Ishmail Wainright -- 6-6, 220 SF -- <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ourdailybears.com/baylor-mens-basketball-recruiting/2012/10/19/3526012/ishmail-wainright-commits-baylors-2013-scott-drew">ODB's commit coverage</a> -- <a target="_blank" href="http://espn.go.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/101154/ishmail-wainright">ESPN 4*</a> -- <a target="_blank" href="http://247sports.com/Player/Ishmail-Wainright-15198">247Sports 4*</a> -- <a target="_blank" href="http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Ishmail-Wainright-114230">Rivals 4*</a>

<p>That leaves one player in this class yet to sign in 4* C Dominic Woodson. He's signing tomorrow in a ceremony at his school.</p>

<p>According to the Baylor Baseball twitter, this should be the entirety of the 2013 Fall class. I don't know enough about most to know whether it is really all that good, so I'll keep looking. Sheppard is the big prize.</p>
<p>I may have to get a Perfect Game profile so I can see where these guys rank. Esthay, Sheppard, and McLean are all nationally-ranked, as are two others that I'm not sure about. This is the full list, though.</p>
<p>UPDATE: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.baylorbears.com/sports/m-basebl/spec-rel/111412aab.html">BaylorBears.com has its recap of the class available</a>, including biographical information about all of the players and more statistics than I've seen anywhere else. Good stuff.</p>

<p>Baylor's lone, to date, QB recruit in the 2013 class is following the path of RGIII by signing today and enrolling in Baylor in January. He'll be able to go through Spring drills with the team. </p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<p>Love this idea for him, and he can certainly use the time with Briles and Montgomery. Great news that his plan came together, I know he put a lot of work into making sure that he was ready academically for this move.</p>
<p>This is not the norm, so don't expect any other signings/early enrollments.</p>

<p>A collection of everything we know about the Lady Bears 2013 class as we know it. </p> <p>So far, four Letters of Intent are in for the Lady Bears 2013 signing class, with three being names that should be readily known to Baylor fans. The fourth, <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/DavidSmoak/status/268730541174554625">according to a tweet from David Smoak</a>, is decidedly less heralded.</p>
<p>Here's who we have so far:</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://espn.go.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/117500/imani-wright">Imani Wright</a> -- 4* G -- 5'11" -- Hooks, Texas -- #31 overall by HoopGurlz<br><a target="_blank" href="http://espn.go.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/103403/nina-davis">Nina Davis</a> -- 4* W -- 6'1" -- Memphis, Tennessee -- #52 overall by HoopGurlz<br><a target="_blank" href="http://espn.go.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/140525/breanna-hayden">Breanna Hayden</a> -- 4* G -- 5'9" -- Dallas, Texas -- #82 overall by HoopGurlz<br>Khadijah Cave -- UR -- 6'3" W -- Augusta, Georgia -- no idea whatsoever.</p>
<p>As you can see, Cave is the one that came somewhat out of the blue. Even the people that I follow who generally Know These Things about WBB recruiting don't know much about her. It could be that we saw losing Pope and Williams at PF this season and realized we had to have someone, anyone, with size for next season. It could also be that we found a true diamond in the rough in Cave and wanted to get her locked up. I don't know.</p>
<p>There is rumored to be one other potential signing today, so watch out for that. Until then, this is our class. I'll post more information as I have it.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Looks like this could be it for the Ladies according to BaylorBears.com. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.baylorbears.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/111412aab.html">They just posted a full-length update about NSD</a> that gives more detail about the four ladies, including the enigma Cave.</p>
