Memphis Home Education basketball standout Bailey Wilkes has
committed to play at Union. Her teammate Torri Lewis announced her
intention to play for Ole Miss over the summer.
Eagles coach Tracy
Rice said the Jackson, Tennessee school — a former NAIA powerhouse
which is ranked 23rd in the Division 2 preseason poll — is a perfect fit
for her star.
“She plays point guard for us but they like her
more as a shooting guard,” Rice said. “They really her (basketball) IQ,
the way she uses her skill to set up defenders and beat them off the
dribble. And she’s a great 3-point shooter.”
Wilkes, along with
Lewis, is on the short list for the 2015 Pete Maravich award, which is
given annually to the nation’s top home school player.
She’ll join
a growing Memphis contingent at Union; former FACS standout Natalie
Smith is a sophomore this year while Lausanne and Rhodes College grad
Lauren Avant is beginning her first year as an assistant.
