Geo Baker.....31 points.....5 made 3's.....

[NewJerseyHawk]

Just got this passed over to me earlier this evening, not sure when the game was, but RU commit for 2017, Combo Guard, Geo Baker, went for 31 points and had 5 made 3's in a recent game.....big, big night and fits the bill for adding scoring punch and shooting range for next year.

What's best about Baker is he can play both guard positions and will not be forced into the lineup too soon, with guards that are seniors ahead of him in Nigel Johnson and Mike Williams, along with the obvious talented Sanders in the lineup as well.....Baker can ease himself into the rotation and if he performs, he'll earn minutes. He'll also get the culture of defense and leadership from Mike Williams, the experience of playing against a good tandem of Sanders and Johnson.

If he can make 3' s, he'll be on the fast lane whether he's a guard or not.

He also had 5 assists in this game which was Proctor's opener. The game was just a couple days ago. They also are playing this weekend.

I just checked Proctor's schedule. They play tomorrow at Worcester Academy at 4:30PM in a tournament vs. Marianapolis Prep. They will also play Sunday in the tournament.

Baker will get plenty of playing time next year if this year is any indication of how Pike will rotate players.

Watch this kid produce. I believe he is a 4 star player once he beefs himself up.

Combo guard that can shoot, and also has length. Best to Geo.

You had me at "five 3-pointers "

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Love what I see from Baker on these clips

 

[Scarlet Knut]

Pike is getting it done.

Geo Baker (Proctor Academy) has played three games so far, 3-0 record.

Baker has scored:

31 (as reported earlier here)
17 (way up early and everyone got minutes)
28 (Named Tourney MVP)

 

[MadRU]

Proctor Academy is now 3-1 coming off loss, Baker had 13. Sounds like they got beat handily.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Has he signed yet?

 

[MadRU]

I am very high on Baker. D1 is a different beast. 10 3's translates to 2 3's in college. His length, passing ability, work ethic, and shot will help here. We know Coach Pikiell likes to get his players feet wet. In that context, Baker will get drenched.

It will be fun. I know they played Brewster Academy and got lit up, like Mad mentioned.

Baker has a bright future here.

Proctor is now 4-1 with the one loss to an outstanding Brewster Academy. Geo has 113 points for a 22.6 ppg average.

 

[ddsmugs]

Did RU have any interest in Baker's Proctor team mate who signed with St. Bonaventure 6-6 forward?

Proctor is now 4-1 with the one loss to an outstanding Brewster Academy. Geo has 113 points for a 22.6 ppg average.

Brewster Academy smoked them by 50. Following the game Baker Tweeted that he was getting off Twitter until March.
