Baylor has continued its offseason roster transformation.
Cincinnati transfer Dan Skillings Jr. will play for Baylor next season, he announced Tuesday.
The 6-foot-6 guard averaged 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game during his junior year. The New Jersey native played all three seasons of his collegiate career at Cincinnati, but will be a part of a major reform for the Bears next season.
Baylor will have an entirely new roster of players led by head coach Scott Drew next season after nine of its players entered the transfer portal this season. Baylore went 10-10 in the Big Ten this season and lost to Duke in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
“We are obviously very familiar with Dan, seeing him across the court during his time in Cincinnati,” Drew said. “The Big 12 is one of the toughest conferences in the country, so it is important to have someone with the skills to compete in this league and the knowledge to know what it takes to be successful night in and night out. We are very excited to add a player of Dan’s caliber to our roster.”
Skillings will be joined by Rice transfer Caden Powell, Omaha transfer JJ White, High Point transfer Juslin Bodo Bodo, Oregon transfer Michael Rataj, and Wyoming transfer Obi Agbim as they hope to take a step in the right direction by restarting their roster from scratch.
