Gary Franklin is transferring to Baylor.

Franklin, a highly touted recruit out of Mater Dei High School in Los Angeles, left Cal last week after playing just 13 games for Mike Montgomery and the Bears.

He must sit out the spring and fall semesters this year and will be eligible to take the floor for Baylor the second semester of the 2011-12 season.

"Gary has been a winner all of his life," Baylor coach Scott Drew said in a released statement Wednesday night. "We are extremely excited to have him part of the Baylor family."
