Mohawkeye makes a good point as to Baer making other players work harder. He has to be an example of how learning the system and playing within it can mean seeing time on the court. I hope our five true freshmen look at him and recognize that the space between the ears is as important to basketball as natural athleticism.

No on giving Baer a scholly. Maybe as a Jr. If he develops. But if we want to win, we shouldn't be passing out schollys for guys who try hard. We need talent. Especially next season.

Let season play itself out. Baer still needs to get stronger, but definitely like what I have seen so far. The fact he rarely if almost never shot a 3 in high school tells me he will work on his game to improve. What us his ceiling, not sure anyone knows that yet.

Players like Baer can be a huge influence on scholarship players simply due to the fact Baer is getting some quality playing time. If Fran thinks he deserves a scholly then he deserves one.

Right now, Uhl is ahead of Baer at his position and Jones was before he got hurt. Wagner is not direct competition but they play similar positions. Next year there will probably be competition from Pemsl and Hutton for minutes as well.
