Ahh the days of when most freshman and sophomores (this is actually Baker's first real year, mind you) sat the bench until the upperclassmen graduated. Today's kids and their families believe if they aren't on the floor starting and playing 38 minutes per game, they're being slighted somehow.Earl Watson mentioned here.

Its under a long tweet about UCLA’s next coach being Cronin or Jamie Dixon and then the Watson QuoteDon't see the tweet. But I'm not sure why Baker would stay here. He's going to be even more buried on the bench next year.
Why develop players when you can push them out and complain about freshmen.
Nope, I think I'll keep it right here tough guy. Still trying to fit in I see. LOL, so sad.No one is being pushed out. Take your whining somewhere else.
I think the NCAA would clear him to play based on previous transfersIt's Tucker trying to be first and look like the smartest guy in the room.
It's a preposterously loose connection based on a hypothetical that isn't even likely to materialize.
Baker would have to want to transfer and sit ANOTHER year. UCLA would have to hire Earl Watson. Baker would have to think his odds of sitting and then playing there would result in better odds of seeing his role continue to increase here in the next two seasons.
And this is why we never have experience.
We need to find a way to change the culture here.

What games did you watch this year,lol.The best 3 point shooter transfers? Unreal!
Charles Matthews played at a very high level for Michigan.He would get a release but have to sit out a year. We re seeing though that transfering doesn’t doesn’t do squat for these skj, Marcus lee, Matthews types.
People make fun of Mitch B when he says we live in a microwave societyAhh the days of when most freshman and sophomores (this is actually Baker's first real year, mind you) sat the bench until the upperclassmen graduated. Today's kids and their families believe if they aren't on the floor starting and playing 38 minutes per game, they're being slighted somehow.
Baker is fine and he should not listen to those people. He got a good amount of floor time this year (his first true year on the floor) and will likely see much more next year (and the year after). It's these kinds of "handlers" or "advisers" that are the root of the problem with kids running off (ill-conceived NBA draft dreams, or transferring) when they don't get instant gratification.

I was reading this message board........ Bad idea I knowWhat games did you watch this year,lol.
I agree he was injured and has really only practiced and played half a year. He could be really good by his junior year.Baker will play next year and we will need him. He played some pretty good defense plus I'm sure his shot will come around. Hope he stays
Tucker is very annoying. Baker is just starting to get comfortable and contribute. If he wants to sit another year, it's his life but it seems like a bad move.It's Tucker trying to be first and look like the smartest guy in the room.

That’s fine but it’s not just Baker. It’s every recruit that has transferred out of here or left earlier than they should have.How about we wait until something actually happens before allowing a tweet based on pure conjecture to become a referendum on the entire program.
Can we do that please?
In fairness, while his general sentiment was totally accurate, he used that to describe Kentucky football fans. Not a smart move on his part at the time. Joker and Billy Clyde.......the fans weren't wrong.People make fun of Mitch B when he says we live in a microwave society

Not literally, but media and fans. People act like players can't come back, develop, and improve. People act like guys will always be who they are as freshmen. Nick gets it, Baker gets it, both of these guys have high potential.Who is doing this so called “pushing?”
Stone cold killer 31% from the 3...The best 3 point shooter transfers? Unreal!
