BREAKING: Baylor MBB adds guard transfer Adam Flagler

Baylor head basketball coach Scott Drew has dipped into the transfer well once again, this time adding guard Adam Flagler of Presbyterian College. Flagler, a freshman in 2018-2019, will sit out the 2019-2020 season to meet NCAA transfer requirements and have three years of eligibilty remaining to compete for the Bears.

Baylor also welcomed the addition of UNLV transfer big  Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua earlier in the day on Monday.

The 6-foot-3, 170-pounder averaged 15.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists playing off the ball as a true freshman in his first collegiate season. Flagler shot 38.2 percent from three and connected on 83.5 percent of his free throws. He made 105 three pointers on the season.

Flagler chose Baylor as his ultimate destination over Butler, Seton Hall and Appalachian State. 

A native of Duluth, Georgia, Flagler left Duluth High School as the all-time leading scorer (1,300 pts) and all-time three-point shooter (227). In 2018 he was first in the league in scoring (16.8 ppg), free throw percentage (82%), and three-pointers (2.8 pg).

In games against top programs Marquette, UCLA, Butler and Dayton, Flagler averaged 20.5 points and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 18-of-40 (45%) from three, including a 29 point, six rebound performance on 7-of-14 shooting from deep against UCLA.
