Baker - could we use this at UK??
- Thread starter RoyKent
- Start date
And people can't use the bad defense excuse with him.I thought he played pretty well on D when given the chance.
If only we can stop running the 2-4 year players off ..... imagine that shooting on this team
I think even the staff were kind of shocked and very disappointed he left. He came in kind of hurt and they gave him top medical care and time to get healed. He even avgeraged like 9 min per game his first year actually playing.
Nobody wanted him to leave. He wasn't recruited to be 1 and done. He bailed on UK. UK didn't bail on him.
It doesn't matter. These people want it both ways.
I would argue that he was never given a chance and saw the writing on the wall.Cal would take him out after one mistake while others got away with tons of them.
Of course that would be your argument. I bet though. If we were to go back and watch his minutes during the game it wasn't 1 mistake that got him benched.
BTW, Here were his stats before tonight
Well I totally agree with him/her.Cal does have his favorites.
Not to worry Johnny Juzang will be a more than capable replacement.
Oh how quickly they forget.
You people would have chased him off had he done his sophomore year here like he did there.

Cal doesn’t believe in the 3 ball. He’d rather dribble around for 18 seconds, do a couple weaves, post somebody up unsuccessfully, then have the point forward who shoots 12% from the field drive into 3 stationary defenders and throw up a prayer over his shoulder while falling down and beg the ref for a foul. All while the other 4 players (all 17% three point shooters) stand wide open on the perimeter. Dribble Drive at its finest.
Everyone knows a post up is a better shot than a shot worth 1.5 times its value and it's smart to continue playing two non-three point shooting bigs with your drive-first wings and point guard who can't dribble
These guys sure don't look like they did a lot of entry passing on their HS teams. You are so correct about this team failing to do that. Just one of so many things.
Yep. They hate the one and done and can't stand the two and done's.

Look man, I realize you’re on a crusade to deify Cal but we could use Baker on this team and YES, Cal ran him and Juzang off by recruiting over them.
SMH...wow. Anything else you wanna blame fans for that’s our of their control? Damn some of you on here are crazy as hell. We got psychos on both sides of this debate. Some that think Cals above criticism and some that think that everything he does is wrong lmao
Cal is far from not being able to be criticized, buddy. Like fans, Cal is responsible for his tenure as the UK coach. Fans aren't to blame for how they react towards players? WTF planet are you from. You must have missed the entire time Hagans and EJ were here.

Then why did we go all the way to California to recruit him?
I have to assume you meant the OP's avatar....Charlotte Mckinney. Yes. Amazing
He challenged me. I didn't challenge him. I just answered in a way I thought he wouldn't expect.
That one is nice too. I was taking about Sheppard though lol.
I'm sure Jeff would appreciate the compliment, ha!
I give you credit for the response the fists or a 12 pack was funny.
Me too, but when Im wrong Im wrong. I could have responded initially without being a giant d-bag. I only took the apology down because I didn't want to clutter up the thread since I saw that you saw it.
I think this is one of the major problems with Cal. Does not give a player a chance to build up confidence. No one is going to hit all their shots. Look what he did with Allen this year. Miss a shot and you sit !
Hell I thought you was one of the guys that freaks out on people when somethings said about Cal that’s even fair to criticize. I messed up myself.
My old avatar was his nasty dunk vs Indiana.
I have no problems with calling Coach Cal out. I don't mind deserved criticism. It would be hypocritical to not allow others to do so. I've called out moderators on this board before and they can keep me from ever posting here or having to make me be like this one guy who has made like 1000 accounts on here. I will defend someone against batshit crazy stuff like yesterday when these people were attacking him about his interview. Such an innocous incident, but you'd think it were Chernobyl from their perspective. Created controversy.
