high-IQ, defensive-minded freshman guard with strong academic and leadership pedigree
Baylor Franz is a 5-foot-6 guard from Edmond, Oklahoma who entered Seton Hall as a freshman in 2024-25 and did not see game action while rehabbing from injury, so the most current public read is about projection rather than production. Her appeal is obvious: she was a two-time captain, set her high school’s career assist and steals records, scored 1,300+ points, and brought a reputation for toughness, floor leadership, and elite academics. If you want a guard who can organize, defend, and set a tone, she fits the “steady glue piece” profile.
