I'd put money on that class of 5 at Baylor won't last longer than 1 year, intact. That is a lot of talent, with a lot of talent ahead of them.
Sorry EastTx., just my humble opinion. That being said, that is one heck of a class. Best wishes.
It's a very talented class. But, the 2017 & 2018 classes are very unbalanced and loaded in either the back court or front court.
I have been a huge Queen Egbo fan for the last 2-3 years; she is a natural rebounder on both ends of the court. Runs the floor very well, and a great leaper and shot blocker. But, she is a bit undersized (height and weight; I don't think she's taller than 6'2) to play Center in most offenses, which is where I think Baylor will play her based on having Nalyssa Smith and Aquira Decosta playing a combination of SF and PF. In some ways, she's like a taller Nina Davis who will be playing Center in college.
When Queen arrives at Baylor next season, Kalani Brown will be a senior and Lauren Cox will be a junior. This season, I think Mulkey will probably move Cox to back up Kalani at Center as they have no other depth there. So, come 2018, it will be interesting to see how Lauren Cox is used with Nalyssa Smith and Aquira Decosta also competing for front court minutes. Cox and Smith can shoot from beyond 3-point range, but I don't think that's part of Decosta's game, and it definitely is not part of Queen's game.
Prior to Charli Collier switching over to Texas, we were also recruiting Queen. I have no idea how we planned to use her on the court. We all know that 6'7 Sedona Prince is going to play Center at Texas; so, where did that leave Queen other than a combination of Center and PF? She's not a stretch PF has she really doesn't have a perimeter game; I think her shot currently extends to 10 feet.
I do think Baylor needed several front court players in 2018 after not getting any in 2017, and losing Mompremier. So, they filled needs for sure. Now it's up to Mulkey to fit the pieces together.
