Calipari yesterday on Baker's status

[Smashcat]

Coach Cal asked about Jemarl Baker. Said "at best toward the end of the year" is his guess after Baker had his knee operated on. http://www.coachcal.com/news/2017/12/11/caltube-watch-paul-miller-ford-john-calipari-show-dec-11.aspx…

Why not just red shirt him then?

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

Why not just red shirt him then?

I'd bet he does redshirt. Diallo redshirted and nobody announced it

 

[JonathanW]

Why not just red shirt him then?

He very well may. Doesn't have to request the Redshirt until after his SR year though.

I predict this kid will transfer. Before anyone bitches and whines, think about the situation. He's the lowest ranked kid in the class and is currently not playing due to injury. He is considered a shooter (although I have seen him play in person and he can do so much more than just shoot the basketball). He is already being recruited over and will continue to get recruited over. He's too good of a player to ride the pine at a school for four years. My guess is that he will transfer closer to home and I can't blame him.

Sad part is that Cal needs kids like Baker, on top of highly rated 5-stars, to field the perfect team. Baker is a good "basketball player" which is what it takes to win basketball games. This isn't the high jump, 100-yard dash, etc....this is basketball. Would love to see Baker stick it out and become a very good experienced player for us, but Cal's not interested in building teams for the future, he's interested in getting kids to the pros. The title was won in 2012, its out of the way now.

Nice third post, you blubbering baby. Go pop a Zoloft.

What a crock!!!

 

[Calsthebomb]

I see a Charles Matthews situation. He won't see much time next year if a couple of our guards return.

1. Baker should have always been sold as not a one and done type player...he was never going to play over Diallo/Knox at SG/SF to begin with and he's not a PG so Green/SGA aren't an issue of his minutes.
2. I think Baker 100% realizes Cal is always goign to recruit high end players that he'd have to compete with every year at UK. So guys like Herro and Keldon Johnson shouldn't be a surprise.
3. And finally we always need a good rotation of guys each year, need experience for the future...so I truly hope and feel Baker will be fine at UK and should stay.

Fortunately you’re wrong. He won’t be transferring. He’s not “riding the pine” he’s injured ...

You’re attempt at being subtle while taking jabs is quite transparent

Seriously OP- take some pointers from Butters or @Petjurino ... terrible terrible post.

Recruited over? What? Elite programs bring in elite players every year. You compete, its not being recruited over. Who did we bring in that Baker can't compete against?

Triggered and snowflake are so lame, please steal a different phrase, those are so played out because you use them in every thread.

You're gonna feel a strong urge to say I'm triggered and call me a snowflake, but for the sake of self respect, don't do that to yourself.

So you're just trying to prop up your agenda based on absolutely nothing. Gotcha

 

[docholiday51]

Don't know if the OP is a troll or not but I think his take is off on this thread.I would think Baker probably has enough confidence in himself to give it a shot here when he is healthy. A transfer makes little sense at this point before giving himself a chance to prove what he can do,he had some idea what UK was before he signed on.

Sometimes I think the fans are more caught up in OAD than some of the players might be.Knox and Diallo probably came here knowing they are OAD come hell or high water,Richards,Green,PJ and SGA probably thought it was/is possible or even likely but it wouldn't wreck their world to spend two years here.Baker is likely a cut under those expectations.

We just don't have any idea what Baker is or is not,I look forward to seeing that for myself late this year or next year.

Just redshirt him and have him 100% for next season. This would seem to be a no brainer.

How do you know this? For all anyone here knows now, Baker could become the best player on our team. Or not. But let's see what he can do when he is healthy. The kid wants to play for UK. Who can blame him?
