Fresh Faces:

Baylor basketball fans might not be the only ones who need a scorecard this winter at the Ferrell Center; it may take even men's head coach Scott Drew and women's head coach Kim Mulkey awhile to get to know their players this year. Each squad returns just six letterwinners from a year ago. Six new freshmen joined the men this fall as part of the nation's No. 17 recruiting class according to Rivals.com, while the women welcomed five in compiling what ESPN labeled the top class in the country; each team also added a transfer. 
After the Lady Bears' Sweet 16 finish last year, you already know returnees like Kelli Griffin, Melissa Jones and the team's lone senior, Morghan Medlock. Likewise, following the Bears' run to the 2009 NIT Championship Game, you remember returning starters Tweety Carter, LaceDarius Dunn and Josh Lomers. 
Here are the new faces to watch for:
