Irving MacArthur High School standouts, Gusters & Andrews will be Lady Bears
WACO, Texas - Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey announced the signing of two of the top 10 players in the country Wednesday, with Irving MacArthur standouts Sarah Andrews and Hannah Gusters signing national letters of intent to join the Lady Bears in 2020.
Gusters was the first to verbally commit to Baylor in May. The 6-4 post player is the No. 9 overall ranked player in the 2020 class and the No. 2 center by espnW's Hoopgurlz. The Dan Olson Collegiate Basketball Report ranks her ninth and second, respectively as well.
"There have been a lot of strong posts in our program, and Hannah [Gusters] is another big who can help carry on that tradition. She has excellent footwork, and her ability to pin, seal, catch and score in traffic is impressive," Mulkey said. "She's a face-up post player with a soft touch, and on defense, she is active on the glass with a knack for shot blocking. She is everything we look for in a post player, and we look forward to seeing her in the green and gold."
After helping Duncanville High School win a state championship as a freshman, Gusters averaged 14.5 points per game as a sophomore in leading the Pantherettes to a 39-2 record and the Class 6A region finals.
Gusters played AAU ball for Nike ProSkills, and her maternal grandfather, Dewey Turner, played football for the University of Texas.
"I've always wanted to go to Baylor, but the fact that I could stay close to home and compete for championships each year played a huge part in my decision," Gusters said. "Another reason I chose Baylor is because of the program's history in developing great post players. I can't wait to get to Baylor and join my teammates and coaches."
Gusters narrowed her schools down to Baylor and UConn early in the recruitment process.
Andrews verbally committed to Baylor on social media Nov. 2 during an official visit. The 5-7 point guard is ranked No. 7 overall and the No. 2 point guard by espnW's HoopGurlz recruiting rankings and carries the same ranking from the Dan Olson Collegiate Basketball Report.
Among Andrews' honors as a point guard for Irving MacArthur High School, she was a two-time TGCA 6A All-State selection in 2018 and 2019. USA Today named Andrews to the second-team All-Texas team in 2019 as well.
"Sarah is a floor general who has a strong body that can defend with on-ball pressure, and she can also score. Her knowledge of the game gives her superior court awareness. She can shoot the mid-range shot and hurt you from beyond the arc," said Mulkey. "She has excelled on the floor, whether it be club ball or for MacArthur High School. She's a program fit for Baylor, and we are looking forward to her arrival this summer."
The Dallas Morning-News named Andrews the top recruit in Texas. As a junior, she was the District 6-6A MVP after averaging 15.1 points, 7.0 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 2.9 steals for a MacArthur team that went 29-9. Andrews played AAU ball for Nike ProSkills.
"I chose Baylor because I know Coach Mulkey can get the best out of me as a player," Andrews said. "It was also very important to me that my family could come watch me play for championships, and Waco is so close to home. I'm excited to be a Lady Bear."
Andrews chose Baylor over offers from Texas, Mississippi State, Louisville and Florida State.
