Redshirt transfers add depth to Baylor basketball during uncertain season

By Will Chamblee | Sports Writer

Redshirting has been an integral part of the fabric of Baylor basketball under head coach Scott Drew. Seven of the Bears’ 15-man roster have redshirted during their time at Baylor, including star guards Davion Mitchell and MaCio Teague.

Redshirt players have been key to Baylor’s success in basketball and this season will be no different. Freshman forward Jordan Turner, sophomore forward Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua and sophomore guard Adam Flagler will be eligible to play for Baylor this season after redshirting last year.

“It gives them an opportunity to focus on their games without worrying about playing,” Drew said in an interview with the Waco Tribune-Herald last April.
