Baylor welcomes a pair of transfers

Not only does Baylor return a large part of a team that found ways to win while fighting through adversity, but they also welcome three newcomers that should be a part of Baylor’s rotation in 2019-20. All three new faces have the ability to play in the backcourt which adds to Coach Drew’s flexibility and two of those players are transfers that become eligible this season.

Davion Mitchell is a 6’1 guard from Georgia who began his career at Auburn where he averaged just under four points per game as a freshman two years ago. MaCio Teague is a 6’3 transfer from UNC-Asheville, he was a star for the Bulldogs from the jump and led them in scoring as a sophomore with 16.7 points per game, he also grabbed over four rebounds, had 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game, while slashing .418/.866/.425 from the field, free-throw line and beyond the arc.

Jordan Turner is another lengthy player, at 6’7 the three-star recruit from Kansas who adds to the Bears’ flexibility. All three newcomers should see rotational minutes at the very least, with the chance to play significant roles this season, as the Bears could go nine to 10 deep with very little drop in production.
