The college basketball offseason continues to move along, and the excitement builds as players across the country announce their next steps.
The real thrill comes when a player declares their intention to chase a lifelong dream.
That’s exactly what happened when VJ Edgecombe—a former five-star recruit, one of the top players from the 2024 class, and now a former Baylor Bears standout—officially declared for the NBA Draft.
After one season in Waco, Edgecombe is setting his sights on playing professionally in 2025–26.
Edgecombe shared his decision with this message: “Every step I’ve taken, every sacrifice made—it all leads to this.🇧🇸 🐻”
The interesting part of the post from Edgecombe was the fan reactions. There is no doubt, the former Baylor Bears staff is well appreciated and loved. Here are some of the best reactions:
