Wouldn't it be great to have Baker on the All-Freshman team? Something I could certainly see if he starts.

If the guy lives up to anywhere near the hype he has recieved on the message board than its a really good possibility. I remember asking one well respected SN'er what he thougth about all the talk of Baker being the next big thing, and he told me "Oh, Baker is the next big thing" If Van Vleet, Baker and Cotton all play to potential our backcourt is gonna be scary for quite a while.

I don't disagree. Do you see him starting in place of Williams or one of our fine JUCO wings?

He'll start in place of whomever the hell he wants.

If Cotton and/or Baker end up in the starting lineup ... then it means they truly earned that honor, which is a good thing for this team. Same can be said for FVV. Bench of DWill, Early and Wiggins is the start of helluva strong bench!

Cotton won me over last year, he has star potential but with a team-oriented game.

Three pt shooters, let see, I believe that Williams, Cotton, White, and Wessel will be improved from last year returners. Redshirts, Joe can shoot and score, never seen Armstead shoot, and Baker is the sniper. New Guys from 3, Early, Wiggins and Vanvleet.........BRING ON THE ZONE!!!!

Teams like Evansville and Creighton won't zone, they'll just sag the M/M, take away the drive, and try to hold us to one shot.

X-Man Baker.

Cotton is a lot like Toure. He doesn't standout at any single stat, but he might be the most well rounded player on the roster. He can shoot, rebound, plays great on ball defense and he just makes everyone around him better. I agree with Doc that it will be hard to keep him off the floor.

And Cotton is built like a power-I fullback!

If Cotton doesn't start at the beginning of the season, he will by the end.
