  1. I was interested to see the article in this morning’s N&R on the Baker kid from Trinity Christian. NW played them in early Dec in the Hoops Phenom Showcase held in Raleigh. NW smacked them around pretty good (won by 25) and the Baker kid didn’t do too much…only a couple of baskets by my recollection. However, for a freshman, he was clearly a kid in whom you could see some big potential. It would be interesting to see how he’s progressed since, and how he performs against some pretty good athletes at Dudley. Wish I could see it.
