Hogs recruiting 7-footer as Gafford replacement

LAS VEGAS -- The Arkansas Razorbacks are expecting center Daniel Gafford to leave for the NBA after the upcoming season, and the Hogs hope center Will Baker is his replacement.

Baker, 7-0, 240 pounds, of Austin (Texas) Westlake has scholarship offers from schools such as Arkansas, Texas, UCLA, North Carolina, Kansas, Stanford, Virginia, Texas A&M and numerous others.

The Hogs extended an offer to Baker on July 5 and have been a fixture at his games, including here in Las Vegas with Baker playing for Texas Hardwork in the Under Armour Finals.

Baker is use to seeing numerous coaches at his games, but he said it's his parents who pay close attention.
