My guess is that Baker is our #1 target right now. Gotta think we’re making a hard push for Baker, Sueing, Boogie and Jaden, and we’ll take any and all of them who want to come. Seems like Baker and Sueing are heavily considering us, and it would be excellent to get both. Jaden is a wildcard, but we’re still in the mix - Wetzell signing probably hurts us there/telegraphs our chances. Haven’t heard a word connecting Boogie to us after the decommit (besides an MGRADS twitter comment), but we’d be silly not to keep calling. I see Jaden playing more of a 3 than 4, thus wouldn't be too affected by Wetzell's signing? Jaden would still play some time at the 4, but I've been under the imprssion that his game is more outside / midrange (ie, his NBA position would almost certainly be SF). EDIT: For clarity I should have been more clear about responding to CCC Back on topic... part of me wants Baker more than Jaden

Damn, was looking like we had more players than scholorships and now our list of options is shrinking fast.

No problem with him going to Arizona over SDSU but Arizona will be on probation soon.

No Boogie, No Baker, No Jaden and No Sueing. No f****** way! Arizona has 13 backcourt players, 11 on scholarship. This means they are + 2 over the scholarship limit and aren't they headed for probation with the FBI investigation and Sean Miller on tape? WTF + What gives?

"Cause its one, two, three strikes you're out!" Are we becoming irrelevant? CAL, Kentucky, Arizona clearly Jemarl doesnt want to play in San Diego despite U of A having 13 guards on their roster.

Baker did play for the same AAU program as Nico Mannion, Josh Green and Ira Lee — West Coast Elite.

Keshad better be ready. He will need to step up, which it appears he is more than capable of doing.

Everything happens for a reason. We set out for bigs anyway. We're already deep in the backcourt.

How or why would Baker sign with a team with this many guards and under NCAA "investigation"? Even a year from now when he's finally eligible, there will be a traffic jam at the 1 and 2 positions. I don't trust the "purity" of this decision for a nano-second. I hate Arizona, Sean Miller and everything it all stands for. I hate the blatant whoring of college athletics. And I HATE the impotent, disingenuous and completely morally bankrupt NCAA. F**k'em all!!!!!!!!!!

And I'm sure Sean Miller just has a new bag man. What a douche!
