Ron Baker to WSU as 4 for 5

[another shocker]

Go to 5:50 mark and start there, semi final and final of 3A champ game. He is number 23.

Curly hair and all this kid reminds me of an inch and a half shorter Wessel with a much better outside shot.

Those youtube clips (starting with the state semifinal game vs Collegiate at the 5:50 mark) are very, very impressive- passing, shooting and rebounding, it's all there.

Here's another Ron Baker video I found

The kid has potential to be more than just a nice story. I am quite hopeful that he continues on his path toward success at WSU.

Thank you very much for paying your first year so that we can get an extra player. :bow:

Ron Baker is nice to our program. He walked on so that we have an extra scholarship for next year. He should be on the front page. :clap:

From what we here he'll often be on the front page next year.

FSF can't explain why, but this Shocker could be a sleeper down-stream. No, obviously not an immediate impact type player. I just keep having people that have seen Baker play just rave on about him. Is he a Franchise player? No! However, the good Doc seemed also impressed and or at least curious.

Here is a player that I will watch closely, that in due time, may hit a shot from Downtown 21st and Hillside or at some huge Dance, that we will never forget as Shocker zealots. Or if not, a player that strives to be the best D-1 player that he can be to fullfill a longtime dream come true. Why not? Stranger things have happened!!!!!!! Who do I think of our recruits that will make the biggest splash the quickest? Carl Hall. Even so, I just had to post this. Just think. On some of our best teams ever, Local and Statewide players were in the player mix. We are now again recruiting Local and State-wide players and this is very cool. Can u dig it? Groovy. Stay tuned.

White kid from Western Kansas? He'll be lucky to see the court.....

I'm sure he's slow and unathletic. :)

[shock]

I'm sure he's slow and unathletic. :)

Not to mention low ball iq for sure. I'm sure he's good in his little league, but these boys are street hardened and war tested.

Breaking news. Ron Baker has reclassified his recruitment to 2012 :)

[Cdizzle]

Very humble kid with great sportsmanship;

This thread is a fun read. Lots of folks not far off the mark.

[shockerofandover0943]

I haven't seen him play, but it's been made pretty clear that we're not terribly interested in Baker.

Why would he? We still have Landry to grab. If it comes down to this guy, my guess is that we'll opt to save the scholly for 2012 recruitment.

These posts look pretty silly nowadays. Sorry, @SirShoxAlot:.
