Dean deserved the scholarship over Baker IMO
i really hate the negativity towards a Tiger. Baker may not have been the best, but he wasn't the least deserving on last year's team and gave us some good games.

On another note, we should have 2 open spots now with Stewart leaving, so we are still in the market for the veteran PG and center through the portal. And that doesn't include a potential phantom walk on like Dean was.

Agree that he wasn't the least deserving. But let's also be real here, how negative was everyone toward Hunter dean for a significant portion of the year? Plus he wasn't even on scholarship. That's just unacceptable IMO for a Louisiana guy and a guy that gave 110% on the court.

I am harsh on Baker because I like winning. There was a player on the team (Dean) that gave us a better chance at winning. But I promise you, during senior night when they called Baker's name I stood up and cheered for him as hard as I could. I'm thankful he chose to come to LSU, but I'm also a realist.
