Bentonville’s Maryam Dauda, one of the nation’s best post players in the class of 2021, has committed to Baylor.
Dauda, 6-4, picked the Bears over Arkansas, Tennessee, UCLA, Missouri, Texas and others.
She averaged 16.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, 1.6 assists and 1.6 steals a game as a junior for the 27-1 Tigers.
Originally from Nigeria, Dauda moved to the U.S. in the sixth grade. She visited Arkansas coach Mike Neighbors and his program a handful of times.
Dauda planned to make an unofficial visit to Baylor this spring but has been unable to because of the covid-19 outbreak.
