Does Geo join Brian Leonard on Mt Rushmore?

No question. You break a 29 year tournament drought with the kind of clutch performances he’s had this year, and he has to be on there.
I have mixed feelings about his overall game. But not his clutch and I certainly get what he has done so far for the program.
But I have to vote :ThumbsUp

Breaking his thumb and then coming back to finish the season like this; putting the team on his back so many times, and break the streak since 91....This is just stuff that immortalizes you!
Can someone put together a montage of his shots in the last 30 seconds of games?

Geo might be the best leader I've ever seen wearing a Rutgers basketball jersey. He's set the stage for the culture of Rutgers Basketball for the foreseeable future.
That’s a great post. He’s damn close. That makes me really think - outstanding topic. Not sure who in men’s b-ball would go ahead of him besides douby - but douby didn’t get us to NCAA.
Carli Lloyd, Cappie Pondexter, Brian Leonard, Geo Baker, Nick Suriano... If you had to choose 4 of the 5 to go on Mt. Rushmore, who do you leave off?
For the record, I only started following Rutgers Athletics in the late 90s, so I'm sure I'm missing many others who deserve to be up there

Geo is RU basketball, and he epitomizes this team:
- Great but flawed
- Easy to root for
- Hard working
- Under-recruited
- Overachiever
- Winner

You can’t have Suriano without Ashnault! Wire to Wire unblemished record his last year!!!
Since we're talking Geo... I had a thought recently about his famous shot.. the bounce-back 3. And when I couple it with his inexplicable forearm tot eh defender's chest move... I wonder if he developed both of those, very young and smaller/younger than the people he played with. It would explain why seems to want to keep defenders off him to make a move. Anyone know?
Geo has always been clutch. And don’t forget his tweet after Eugene left! That’s what Captains and Legends are made of!
Both led their teams to great turnarounds...for that, they are equal. But...Leonard was also a Heisman hopeful, talked about on a National Stage and eventually, the reason a lot of other players committed to Rutgers. Became the "Face".
Geo belongs up there and it isn't a knock but he isn't Leonard.

Ashnault is way ahead of Suriano, both national champions.... but Ashnault started at RU and was a four time all American, while Suriano started at PSU and may not come back for his last year.
I don’t remember this and ’m not a twitter guy. Can you post Geo’s tweet on EO? thanks
Have to enjoy the rest of this year's ride first, but I'm also looking forward to Geo and the rest of the team with another year of seasoning under their belt.
He's still, if you are honest, a mediocre player until the last two minutes of a game. I would also put Ray Rice before Leonard. If it's a popularity contest, then Leonard and Geo belong.
lets not forget: Bob Lloyd, Phil Sellers, Eddie Jordan (the player, not the coach), Mike Dabney,
John Battle, Roy Hinson, Keith Hughes,
