LAST YEAR'S NEWS: Ron Baker out with stress fracture for at least 6 weeks

"I'm just a humble kid....."


How can you not LOVE this guy?

Back in the Stallworth days, to compliment him we also had players from Wichita, and from small towns in Kansas. Likewise, 3G does the same with a twist of Transfers, Redshirts, Juco players, and then nabs EO from far-far away. Now that is how you do it.

[pogo]

Actually k state was interested but wanted him to walk on if I'm not mistaken. 3G offered him a scholarship if he paid his first year. I remember there were ALOT of ksu folks upset because k state gave him so little regard and he was "from our part of the state" and "the type of kid ksu recruits". At that time we all felt that their loss was our gain.

Baker didn't play AAU ball, so KSU coaches and probably KU, didnd't know if he was legit. Obviously Marshall knew. This is not unlike how Stephenson used to recruit.

Great get by HCGM... Baker is going to be a legend at WSU.

Love, Ron, but perhaps we should take up a collection at Koch Arena this afternoon for a new paint job on that purple van that Ron's parents drive. I'm sure we could come up with a sharp looking yellow and black paint job.

I'd just like to personally thank Ron for not giving up and trying to get another red shirt. Many of us thought that was the best way to go. We're not in the sweet 16 or perhaps the dance without him. He had a big impact on the MSU game in STL and last night he was unbelievable. To hear him after the game on CBS made it really special.

Enjoying the ride while pinching myself with the thought we have RB, FVV and hopefully EW for 3 mores years.

Bump

Murphy's law, when it rains it pours, if it wasn't for bad luck we'd have no luck at all, etc. Our team's situation has gone from depressing, to anger to now laughable.

When you have lost four guys who are responsible for 38% of the team's scoring as well as their defensive impact in preventing opposition baskets, it will be extremely difficult to overcome. The fork has been stuck in us but good.

The only positive I will be taking away from this is that it will give our newer faces more field experience. What a disappointment. There will be no miracle on the hardwood sunshine pumpers, so get that straight.
