Yusef Baker[/URL] is a 6'8, 220 pound power forward from the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls, ID.
Hoopmasters.com is reporting that Baylor has showed some interest in this player. HOWEVER, Rivals.com just reported a few days ago that he recently announced a top 3 of Tulsa, Alabama, and Nebraska.
Coming out of high school in Florida, Baker was considered a top 50 national player by some, and was named the Class 6A Gatorade high school player of the year. He originally played at the University of Southern Florida as a freshman, then transferred to CSI to play this past season.
An assistant on the CSI staff described Baker this way:
"a great rebounder and shot-blocker. He’s very athletic, plays good defense and loves to dunk. His offensive game is not quite at the level of his defensive game at this point, but he plays well within our system. He can shoot the ball out to 15 feet and is around a 50-percent shooter at that range. However, he gets most of his buckets close in and after offensive rebounds.”
There are several good articles on his Rivals profile page, for those of you with ultimate ticket memberships who are interested in seeing them.
