Any News on Baker's Return?

Similar situation last year when Cal played Wenyen over Willis when it was easy to see that Willis was far better. Wenyen was the 5 Star and Willis was the 3 star. It was halfway through the season before Cal realized Wenyen wasn’t going to give us much and was forced to play Willis. It would be the same this year with Baker and Diallo.

You just completely contradicted yourself in your past 2 post. Above, you just admitted that Cal started playing Derek over Wenyen midway through the season. What more do you want? You forget that Wenyen had 23 points against LSU last year. Wenyen minutes dropped significantly throughout the year last season after that game because he started playing so poorly. I guess you would rather Cal bench someone in the 1st few games of the season rather than giving them some time to play through it? Cal tried to let him play through it but it became obvious he was just behind everyone. He saw that Derek helped the team more than Wenyen and adjusted .What more do you want? Your point was that Cal plays 5 stars over anyone, regardless of contribution. Now, youre bitching cause of what? Cause it happened mid year? Really? Was that just not quick enough for you? He's got to give em a chance to play through their troubles. When it became obvious that the team was leaving him behind, his seat got warmer. What more do you want? Your point has been squashed with your own posts.

Wrong. It was obvious very early on that Willis brought a lot more to the table but Cal insisted on playing Wenyen because he knew Willis would not be a high draft pick. It's part of Cal's sales pitch to get his 5 stars but it's also why we don't have any experienced depth because the lower level recruits don't want to sit the bench behind some 5 star hot dog that only plays hard half the time. Only after about 20 games of getting little to nothing out of Gabriel did Cal finally start and play Willis the majority of the games. UK hit their stride right about the time that Willis played the majority of the minutes. If you remember we were like 18-5 and then won 14 in a row before Higgins stepped in to end that run.

Not sure he will ever play a game at Kentucky.

Becoming very clear he won’t play this year, but where is anyone getting this “never play” stuff?

OK, if you say so buddy. You act as those Derek was the reason we finished strong. The progression of Fox was the reason so that. But I'm done arguing with you over this. I guess we should go recruit 3 and 4 star players then.

HARd to return if you never played
