[spotter34]

That'll work. Welcome aboard Mr. Baker the 3 point maker.

 

[Big John Stud]

I love shooters! You can never have enough!

 

[gracetoyou]

2 to go: Bamba & Johnson

 

[NCukcat62]

Good deal. Very good deal.

 

[tHeFeVeR_23]

Welcome to the BBN, Mr. Baker! Awesome news.

Big pick up

 

[akaukswoosh]

Also nice to get a player from California. Hasn't been a happy hunting ground for Cal.

GSW in the NBA have proven this to be the case. The more the merrier!

 

[Bluemoon725]

1 down, 2 to go. Let's keep this train rolling.

 

[MWes11]

Awesome. Welcome. Now let's get Bamba and Johnson.

 

[LeonThe Camel]

Yessir! Shooter McGavin!

Needed depth added.

2 to go: Bamba & Johnson

I hope we get Bamba also. With Baker on board I wonder if this will affect Johnson ?

True dat.

 

[caneintally]

Add Johnson or Knox ( hopefully johnson) and Bamba and we good .

 

[Mime-Is-Money]

Welcome Jamarl "Buckets" Baker!! Love this kids game. Not an athletic freak but a ball player.

 

[MWes11]

FWIW, name pronounced "Jamal". I know we have been pondering.

 

[Jkwo_rivals113955]

Hopefully he'll stick around to start as a junior unlike Poole, Matthews, etc so people will stop forgetting the Cal actually does recruit four stars to balance classes (sadly only the Kentucky kids have stuck around thus far).

 

[kyups01]

hell yes!!!!

 

[AFKY_Blue_RedsBengals]

HELL YEAH!!!

 

[gossie21_rivals69805]

Glad to have him on board. Also, it's pronounced like Jamal.... apparently. (edit) Just a bit late with that info, carry on.

 

[gracetoyou]

Nope

 

[SemperFiCat]

Great get!! Shooter and a guard, win/win. Will love watching him for a year.

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

Good get
Welcome aboard

 

[bigc45157]

Just made a rainy day better!

 

[MegaBlue05]

 

[Jakarii]

I've flipped on Knox after seeing how
Much Vanderbilt has improved. Rather just get Johnson and Bamba. Knox would still be nice but it's more of a "eh" if UK doesn't get him imo compared to Bamba

Add Johnson or Knox ( hopefully johnson) and Bamba and we good .

 

[ok-cats-computer]

Awesome! Great looking form on his shot!

 

[DelkBowl]

Can I be the voice of reason here? He's not going to play much other than being a practice player next year. Mulder was better and didn't play much. Does he fill a need? Yes. Is he good enough the next couple of year? Probably not good enough to get on the floor. Probably more like a Hawkins guy with better offense but worse defense. Just my opinion guys.

Both of those guys are losers and quitters

He's a top 75 recruit, stop acting like he's a 3 star or something. Also you have no basis to say Mulder is better.

Just your opinion? How do know what this kid can or can't do? Have you seen him play? Voice of reason [laughing]

I don't think anyone is expecting much more. Looking forward to watching him multiple seasons. But I really like his game, confidence, and command of the court.

Nice to add some depth. Seems to have a nice stroke. Can he get it off at high D1 level remains to be seen. He is crafty. Notice the push ahead dribble over the screen and right into the jumper on one clip. That kind of creativity is good to see from a young kid and will help offset his lack of high level athleticism. Hope Cal will go deeper into the bench next year. I think we will have guys capable of contributing if given the opportunities. Really need Knox in my opinion to put us over the top.

 

[Brando Mac]

Good news, hope he does well here. At the very least next season he provides us with some depth in an area of need, hope he'll stick around a few years, keep improving, and eventually provide some stability and experience.

Also, the release on his shot looks very nice.

It'll be pronounced however Dickie V chooses to pronounce:sunglasses:
