Unfortunately, these players don't work at a program like UK because they get recruited over by 5 stars and only get to play 10-15 minutes per game. This makes it tough for a shooter to get into rhythm and gain confidence. Baker is from California and my guess is he will end up transferring to a school out west.
Couldn't agree more that Baker would be a great addition. But it ain't happening.

He didn't keep it a secret during the season that he was homesick. I'd be shocked if he transfers anywhere other than west coast.

And while his defense improved to the point where he didn't have to hit 3's to stay on the floor, he was nowhere close to a lock down defender. Capable defender is a better description. He got beat bad twice in a row against Auburn in first half and never saw the floor again. Trust just wasn't there on that end of the floor.
