Jake Lindsey announced on Baylorbears.com that his basketball playing career is over. Lindsey wrote a transfer story on his gambling career. One specifically good section:
If you felt sorry for me at any point in reading this story, I hope you don’t anymore. I recognize I don’t. This season has been a blast. If you had advised me when I turned into a bit youngster that I could get to be on the Baylor basketball group for four years, and 3 of those years, I might be an extremely critical part of what the group did on the court; I might’ve taken that in a heartbeat. If you had instructed me that I would meet the love of my life in the course of that entire manner, I could’ve stated it’s too appropriate to be true.
I thank God for what He has accomplished in my life through Baylor University. I told you at the start I was going to talk approximately God right here. Even now, I hesitate to write down this part. You see, it’s frequently warfare for me to try to reconcile who I am in opposition (and who I am on my worst days) with who I am called to be as a Christian. Many days, the two don’t add up. Discussing faith and sports activities can be awkward to a few and downright disingenuous to others. As a protracted-time skeptic, I apprehend it.
Lindsey becomes a key rotation piece at some point in his first three seasons at Baylor. He performed on the first Baylor basketball crew to reach No. 1. And his double-digit overall performance in opposition to USC in the 2017 NCAA Tournament propelled the Bears to the 2017 Sweet 16. We broke the news earlier this year that Lindsey might miss this season. He was hoping to go back. However, as he makes clear, that wasn’t an alternative. Lindsey and his again-courtroom teammate King McClure have been the high-quality of Baylor during their four years at the college. They’ll see each other revel in one last home sport on Wednesday.
