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.


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.

I honestly don't remember anyone being negative on Hunter Dean except an idiot or two in some late season in game threads. On paper he wasn't expected to do much, but everyone who saw him quickly became a fan.

There were times when that was true and times when Baker helped us win.
