College Basketball Star Freshman Robert Wright Is Transferring
One of the top college basketball freshman in the country is reportedly looking to find a new situation — which comes as a surprise to his team.
According to reports, Baylor Bears guard Robert Wright III has decided to hit the transfer portal after one season in Waco where he was third on the Bears in scoring and led the program in assists.
Per ESPN’s Myron Medcalf: “Baylor guard Robert Wright, an all-Big 12 honorable mention this season and a member of the league’s all-freshman team, will enter the transfer portal, sources told ESPN.”
Wright averaged 11.5 PPG and 4.2 APG this season. The team had been under the impression that Wright had planned to remain at Baylor before his surprising decision,” the insider noted. “The Bears said no to multiple elite players with the assumption that Wright had planned to stay.”
Wright was one of the highest-rated point guards in the country coming out of high school and received offers from Baylor, Louisville, Maryland, Syracuse and Wake Forest following a standout career at Montverde Academy.
Many believe Scott Drew is one of the top coaches in all of college hoops so it’s interesting to see that one of his best players wants out.
In the world of NIL though, athletes are on the move more than ever as schools offer more and more perks to join their respective universities.
