By Jackson Posey | Sports Writer

It’s not often a prep basketball player walks into college with a ready-made offensive skill set and elite playmaking chops. But then again, new Baylor point guard Robert Wright III isn’t a typical freshman.

The five-star recruit started out his career at Neumann-Goretti High School in Philadelphia before transferring to play his senior season at Montverde Academy (FL), arguably the top prep basketball program in the country. Featuring six of Florida’s top 10 recruits and five 247Sports Composite five-stars, notably including No. 1 overall recruit Cooper Flagg, the school’s characteristically loaded roster held even more talent than usual.
