From NY2LA sports:

 

 

Wheeler Baker 6'2 G Osseo Committed to Albany

Wheeler is offensively dynamo scoring from all over the floor and plays within the offense. Baker plays with aggressiveness on both sides of the ball and the combo guard is having one of the best season of any prospect in Minnesota's 2014 class. He’s averaging 24.9 PPG, 3.6 RPG and 2.4 APG this season for Osseo who holds a 14-3 record this season. Baker has a college ready game, is an explosive athlete, and his instincts and court awareness are at a high level. - See more at: http://www.ny2laspor...h.fByxj3iy.dpuf

Writeups like that scare me...last guy with similar writeup was Marks who never came.

[Dane96]

He's got a signed LOI, no? If so, he's here; Marks was a verbal.

[UA'08]

I thought he signed his LOI.

[Dane96]

Same here!

[slickwilly]

He signed his LOI. Brown wouldn't be able to mention him by name and the school wouldn't announce it if he didn't.

[Dane96]

Yep. So he's coming. Different than a Marks situation.

[Dane Pound]

Supposedly we have an offer out to J.J. N'Ganga. A 6'10 center from France. After the previous offer was to Link Kabadyundi of Montreal I'm guessing we are intent on getting a French speaking big man.

Oh boy. More Juco

[Phoenix]

Obviously depends on the player..but I don't think the JUCO route would be the worst thing in the world for 2014. If you bring in a freshman..you'll have either Shengelia or the frosh starting at center. Bringing in a JUCO would put you in that same situation going into 2015 though. But who knows what might play out multiple years into the future.

 

Again..much of it depends on the player and how they might fit into the projected team for that given year. He has offers from Mercer and Fresno State..so it would suggest he certainly has something to offer.

Nice night for Greg Stire on Friday, 27 points including a three. Didn't know that was part of his game.

 

Also a clip on Wheeler Baker. His coach says he's one of the best three point shooters in the state, then says he's shooting 48%. I'm guessing that's overall, he can't be shooting 48% from three, can he?

No. 37% from 3, 56% from 2, now 51% overall. Also 82% free throws

Geremy McKay was the leading scorer for his Victoria team as they won the U20 Australian Nationals. They beat Jack McVeigh, considered one of Australia's best recruits who is getting ACC and SEC offers.

Maybe he can be our leader, seems to talk a lot about team work.
